I have winXP pro with 512mb DDR and have had sp2 installed now since the day
it was released. I have had no real issues with it until today. I was
trying to get into one of my favorite tutorial sites
(http://www.computer-training-software.com/flashtec.htmand ) and when I
clicked on one of the tutorials that uses quicktime to open I got a popup
about something called the information bar. It would let me go no further
and the tutorial would NOT open.
The information bar acted like a popup blocker. Does SP2 have a popup
blocker and if so how is it turned off? I have the XP firewall turned
"OFF".
This was so irritating I even uninstalled sp2. After sp2 was gone, the
information bar was gone. I am assuming then that it is part of something
in sp2.
Any ideas how to get rid of this nuisance ??
