NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

my brother was over the house again mettling with this computer.
i think he like reloaded windows or something.

Anyway, I can't click on links. Webpages will load - but when I try to click on a link on the page like say to check out a LIW profile the 2nd window won't pop up like it normlly does.

Instead the Windows bar at top of the window (says LONG ISLAND WEDDINGS - MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER) just sought of flicks and doesn't do anything.

Is there anything I can do to get these pages to pop up?

I have a pop-up stopper but it is currently off.
thanks.

Try holding down the Ctrl button when you click on them...

Re: NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

When I hold down the control button is says something on the bottom bar like :

Javascript FPPopup

Re: NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

Which bottom bar? In the pop-up window, or on the bottom of your screen of the main page (internet explorer)?

Re: NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

It sounds to me like he installed another pop-up blocker that you're unaware of. You're positive the one you normally use is off??? Just checking

Re: NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

You can also try right-clicking with the mouse and just 'open target in a new window'

Re: NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

hmmm..I see now what you're talking about---it must look like this

javascript:FPopUp('profile.aspx?ID=9957',420,390);

I tried to open your profile using my second technique to see if it would work (right mouse click, open in new window)--and that was the message I got in the browser bar.

You definitely have another pop-up blocker at work.....let me see if I can work you through this....

Re: NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

yeah it's the grey bar on the bottom for internet explorer


that open in a new window thing doesn't work either...

I can't even get the 'search' window for the hardrive to pop up!!!!

Re: NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

OK--try this

1) go into your Start Menu (bottom left corner)
2) highlight Control Panel
3) highlight Add or Remove Programs
4) look in upper right corner of this menu---click on the arrow pointing down and click on 'Sort by--Date last used'
5) Look for your newly installed (the most recent date) pop-up program.....you can then highlight it, click on it, and remove it from your PC.

Good luck--this is very tough to do without seeing the exact message...but I think I've got it.

Re: NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

You might be able to try clicking on that bar that 'pops up' on the bottom---sometimes my pop-up blocker wants me to click on it to 'allow' me to have pop-ups show up..... Such a pain in the arse!!

Try clicking on my profile again--when that bar pops up--click on it and see what it says...Does it ask you to 1) temporarily allow pop-ups, 2) allow all pop-ups, 3) pop some popcorn,

Just try clicking on it...maybe that'll work???

unfortunately no luck
nothing that says popupstopper or any other derivative of that kind of name.

the things are like 'last used 3/1/2005' and there are programs but nothing that might be causing this....i dunno micrsoft 6.0...

Re: NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

OK--this is my last shot...then I'm lost if this doesn't work...

1) Click on Tools (Upper bar in Internet Explorer)
2) Highlight Pop Up Blocker
3) Click on Pop Up Blocker Settings
4) Put your filter level at Medium
5) Type in LIW's website address...this should override all the pop-ups on LIW and allow them.

yeah i think that's the choice you get w/ windows XP....i have 6.0 and it doesn't give me this choice :(

I use to have XP I believe....my brother is such an ***!

Re: NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

the problem definitely has to do w/ javacript...i was once having a problem w/ popups and he downloaded something off the internet and it made it work.

I hate when the 'good popups' are now unable to load LOL

Re: NWR- please help me computer savvy people!

OK---let me try one more thing...hold on a sec
