Hi all,
I have re-installed a fresh copy of Windows XP on my PC, and installed SP2
afterwards. I am also running Mcafee Anti-virus (trial version), Spyware Doctor,
and Linksys Broadband router with firewall capabilities.
My problem is, when I am using Internet Explorer 6, in any web page with a
link which opens a new IE window, when I click the link, I am unable to get the new
window, and in the bottom left corner, it just said "pop-up window blocked". Even
if I right-click and choose "Open in New Window", the same thing happened. For a
link which links to another page in the same window, there is no problem.
I have tried all of the following and the problem still happens: Turn off Pop-up
Blocker in IE-> Tools; Disable Mcafee; Close Spyware Doctor; Close Windows XP firewall.
I think the pop-up blocker in IE is to turn off those advertising pop-ups
... but why it prohibits me from linking to another page in a new window?
I have also set the custom security level in IE Internet Options ... same problem
...
Can anyone help?
With lots of thanks,
Del Piero
