Pop Up Blocker

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

Greetings --

You'll need to consult the Help files or instructions that came
with whatever 3rd-party pop-up blocker you've installed. Microsoft
does not provide one, as yet. (Upon the release and installation of
WinXP's Service Pack 2, pop-up blocking capability will be added to
Internet Explorer, at long last.)

Since I can't see what the popup looks like I have to guess at what it is
but it sounds like this is something new coming from the server and not
caused by something new added to your system.

OR

If you have maintained stored credentials for the site, it's possible that
there was a timing glitch in the authentication process. Solution: Re-enter
name and password to gain access. Or your protected storage is damaged and
you need to re-enter user name password.
