Need browser help [RESOLVED]

JoelW · 02-24-2007, 02:42 PM

Hello All, I'm new here and I hope you can help me. Within the last couple weeks my browser has started acting strange. I can't view any videos (like on cnn.com). When I click a video link on cnn.com NOTHING happens. I can't view photo galleries on newspaper websites. Again, I click the link, nothing happens. I also can't vote in online polls. I click the radio button, submit...NOTHING. I tried switching from IE to Firefox, exact same issues. I am using CA security suite and these problems started occurring at roughly the same time I started using that. PLEASE HELP, I'm desperate!

Hi Joel, welcome to TSF

Check in Internet Options, your security software and your firewall to see if ActiveX and javascript are being blocked.

Thanks for the reply. I found that my firewall was blocking pop-ups (in addition to my browser also being set to do so.) I turned the firewall's pop-up blocker off and that fixed the problem.
