Guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 the pop up messinger service is in a different part of the computer. need to go to your XP settings and uncheck the box that allows them 12 ghosts does this automatically for you and you can over ride the the blocking for things you want by simply holding the cntl key while the popup loads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torneyboy Posted March 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Hi I am finding it is slowing everything down..takes forever to ""capture"" a pop up..annoying when in a hurry to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soongmak Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 If you want a browser that takes over IE, you could try MyIE2 , a very good browser based on IE. I have used it for almost a year now, and give it two thumbs up! Among the many cool features: - tabbed browsing; - built in pop up stopper; -search in 10 search engines at the same time. - a gazillion of plug ins, which you can find here - I can clean out any annoying flash animation with one click of the mouse, thanks to this plugin; - look up words in a dictionary by simply highlighting them - Check the actual domain of any website before I give out private information with this cool plugin There's also a ton of other features like browsing using only mouse gestures, opening a group of pages at the same time (for instance all my favourite newssites, my favourite movie sites, all thai related boards with only one mouseclick. Once you get used to it, you can never go back to IE. Cheers, soongmak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
