Evidently I have a popup blocker I am unaware of. I use a particular program that requires a right-click to access the program from any site. It works fine all the time, now quit working. I suspect some auto-update has installed or renewed a popup blocker that I am unaware of. The problem is that I have a LOT of software and programs on my laptop and I don't have a clue how to identify this type of function. Can anyone help me?

look under tools and find blocking pop ups and disable. Kinda sucks if it is somewhere hidden and the you might think of using Netscape instead to help you with auto blocking. I feel your pain, i had this probelm too and i found it annoying and almost impossible to fix until i changed browsers.

If you use yahoo address bar,look for little blue and yellow boxes together.left click it and drop down will open and it will have enable pop up blocker,left click it and it will shut off.But you'll have to do it every time you start your computer. also if you have earth link, they have pop up also ,and that will have red fist ,and on/off right below it,left click (on /off area),and one will be darker than the other one. hope this helps.

Yahoo has a free pop-up tool bar.

probable.. ms Internet explorer
click on Extra and then on Pop-up blocking
there you can choose how you want to set it
