Red Circle w/White hand & beep error

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Using Microsoft IE, when I try to enter my name and password in some accounts
a small red circle with a white hand in it appears and a warning beep sounds,
I cannot gain access to the site.

I have set all security settings to the lowest settings I can find and still
cannot get into the site.

I also just received the "red circle/white hand/beep" when I tried to send
this question using Microsoft IE, I had to switch to Netscape to send this
message.

What is the "red circle/white hand" indicating?, and how can I fix this.

Thanks in advance for any information. Jack

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the response.
I found that my Internet provider (Peoplepc.com) recently upgraded me and
installed a pop-up blocker.
This is the source of the "red circle w/white hand" that I was receiving
whenever a site tried to set a cookie.
