I can only say try this link:

Someone might come along with another idea but that site's been the one that
I've been handing out lately. I've had MOSTLY good reports from the people
who followed it carefully so hopefully it will solve it for you as I've
never actually had this problem so can't tell you what worked for me.

You probably have some kind of anti advertisement/popup software running.
E.g. I run Norton Firewall 2005 and it has a setting to block pop up ads,
PLUS advertisements in web pages. Ideally you'd want any setting like that
turned off.
