How Do I Disable a Pop-Up Blocker on Windows XP?
The pop-up blocker in Windows XP enables you to block annoying pop-up advertisements that slow down browsing speed and performance. Many websites use pop-up ads to advertise everything from shopping sprees to music downloads and the latest movies. Because some websites do not function with the pop-up blocker on, it is vital to disable (turn off) this feature, which you can re-enable again anytime you want. Launch your web browser, and then click the “Tools” menu located on the top of the browser window. Scroll down the pop-up menu and highlight “Pop-up Blocker.” Click the “Turn off pop-up blocker” option. This will turn off the pop-up blocker. Close and relaunch your web browser.
