Internet Explorer Popup Help

Paddy1983 · 09-18-2006, 04:59 PM

Hi,

I'm having some problems with opening certain popups with IE. I have a popup blocker enabled which works well, and if I need to open a pop-up I can usually just hold down CTRL and the popup will work. However, for some popups, when I hold down CTRL and click, the window that opens goes straight to my homepage.

I'm not sure if this is to do with Java settings or something, but I don't really know a lot about these things. All I know is that it happens when the link is a weird sort of button, for example: when I'm in my junk email folder and i try to click on 'empty' - goes straight to my homepage!!!

Please help!!!

Cheers

Paddy

What is the name of the popup blocker device that you are using?

I don't have any special sort of pop up blocker, I'm just using the one that comes with XP/IE.

I upgraded to the beta version of IE 7, but that didn't fix the problem. I'm also running Norton AntiVirus. I regularly run AdAware and Spybot S&D to keep my machine malware free, so I don't think I have any spyware problems that could be causing the problem.

Unfortunately I think my problem is different to yours Hanover, the stuff in your thread doesn't really help me.
