Hi,

In case you are using Windows XP Sp2, here is what you can do to configure
IE SP2 pop-up blocker, see here:
http://www.whizatpc.com/techbit/tb0121.html

To the contrary, if you have any third party toolbars installed on your IE
for e.g google or Yahoo tool bar, try these steps:

1. Click Start, run, type "inetcpl.cpl" (with out quotation marks) and click
OK.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Under Browsing, uncheck the "Enable third-party browser extensions
(requires restart)" check box.
4. Click OK.
