I can't get into my tree cause I need to un block my pop-ups. Message says 'look at the top of the page you will see a coloured bar saying 'pop-up blocked'. I ve looked all over the page without any luck, plus all the page is red and hard on the eyes. Can anyone help?

HI Sharon, are you using internet exploror? If so look at the top for TOOLS, click that then Pop Up Blocker, you can stop it from there.

Hi Keith, Yes Im using internet Explorer, looked at tools but no pop up block came up

Windows pop up blocking was introduced with XP service pack 2, if you not using that you must have a third party blocker or toolbar blocker. Bob

Under tools what do you have? Mail and News Pop up Blocker Manage add ons Syncronize Windows update ______ Internet options ?

Keith under tools ive got Mail & news synchronize windows up date show related links reset web settings internet options Shaz

Sharon are you running XP? If so lets see if you have service pack 2. If you click start and go to My computer, on the left hand side there should be system tasks, view system information, this will bring up another window, under general it will show what windows version you are running and what service pack you have installed.

Thought that was what I said. Bob

Robert, trying to find out if she has SP2, if not then some other blocker as you said.

Sorry Keith & Robert Had to close internet down. Think I've found what you ask Systems name DEMCOMPUTER System Model MS-6340 System type X86-6340 Microsoft windows Thankyou for your patience Im not too hot on computer

Hi Sharon, I would have expected to see a windows version on there, I suspect that it is not XP with SP2 though,, so as Robert said it may be a third party pop up blocker, do you have one installed?

A WHAT? I have not got a clue. I will have to wait until tomorrow when my boys will be back. They'll have more of an idea then me. I am very grateful for the help. Thank-you

Your welcome, good luck.

When you click on the Start button, does it say Windows up the left hand side?

Gawd Im daft. Yes the words windows me are on their side going upwards

Does it just say Windows, or is there a number after it?

HI Tracy It just says windows me Millennium Edition

ok cool :) Do you know if you have any program running like Norton or the Google toolbar?

Sorry Tracy computer going so slow. I went into internet options, then privacy there it says 'to override cooker handling for individual web sites. edit. Do you think this is it? Im a bit of a wuss. If I do something wrong my boys will kill me. Should change my name to Idiot . com P.S If I dont reply the computers froze Im not being rude. will pick up tomorrow.
