Computer help please

Cannr go into the toolbar at the top of the page and click on tools. What do you see? I have a newer version of internet ex[plorer that says right there in the menu under pop up blocker. If you can tell me what you see when you click on tools I can tell you what to do next.

U sud be able to turn off the pop up blocker under tools but be aware that then it will allow lots of pop ups! Also, sometimes u can hold down control while clicking on the view more button and it will allow it, i said "sometimes" :lol:

Wait a minute Cannr. Does it come up with a banner across the top of the page saying pop up blocked? If it does you shouild be able to click on that and choose to allow pop ups from this site.

I think that only happens with newer versions of windows pyb. My pc is also an antique and doesn't show that toolbar thingy ur talking about but my laptop does and so does my son's pc, they both have windows xp and vista... this one is still running 2000!
But hubby promised he'd buy a new one by the end of the year for us! :D Funny how i can think of things to compalin about him all the time but when i look at other men i have to be thankful that he's the wonderful man he is today. (even though he made many mistakes as i'm sure i did too)
OMG! WTH is wrong with me this morning?!?! I'm actually complimenting "that" man! ha ha
:lol:

No. It says it down at the bottom (my version is OLD). It says "pop up window blocked" - kind of like "tough crap we're not going to open it. When I click on tools it says (told you this is very outdated) nothing about pop ups. It does give me internet options, reset web settings, etc. I'm talking OLD OUTDATED computer here! LOL!

Do u know what windows u are running? Can u click on where it tells u pop up blocked? Also did u try holding down the control button when trying to open that?

Cannr, you are one step ahead of me...I can't even figure out how to use the emoticons! I only know how to use the colon, hyphen, bracket to get a smiley face!!!But I heard once that you can press the cont. key while trying to get the pop-up to come up and it will allow for that one pop-up to appear. It might work...

GO into internet options. There should come up a box with several selctions at the top. YOu want if I remeber correctly security. There should be something in there about pop up blockers. What antivirus do you have?

I am using stupid windows 2000 (I think). I told you it's outdated and old! I tried the internet options thing and under security it doesn't say anything about pop ups. However, everything that was under that was checked "enabled". Should I look somewhere else? And "antivirus". Ummm...none I don't think. This computer (God love it) is a "hand me down" from my parents when they got a new one. So I'm operating on an ancient machine with ancient software! I guess I could always just use the emoticons while I'm at work! LOL! I'll just have to say "picture of sun here" or "heart here". LOL!

Did u try holding down the control button while clicking to open them cannr?? That works sometimes! Or there's always the ol faithful help button!
;)

I'll have to mess with it again when I get home. Or I can just steal my computer from here at work and take it home with me! LOL! Works just fine on this nice updated new computer! LOL! :sun:
:mrgreen:
:hug:
Wish I could do that from home! :wink:

Ok Ok dont get carried away now. I am really computer handicapped. Ihave no idea where to go to get the emoticons

Cannr- I;'m computer stupid, but have you looked at the bottom of the screen? Mine says window, and the no of windows, then is says allowing this site Refering to popups, and then my vault.If you have that, click on that)allowing this site ) and hit to allow popups from this site. I really don't know much more- if even that :lol: KAren

Karen, I know exactly what you're talking about because my computer at work kind of "asks" if you want to see the pop up. My ancient computer at home doesn't offer me this option. It basically says "too bad, so sad, we blocked this". Makes me mad! I know there is SOMETHING somewhere that I can go to and take off the pop up blocker (or whatever it's called). Where? I have no clue. This computer at work is actually a joy to be on. I go home and I'm like "This sucks." LOL! :lol:

Cannr - My pop up is on my tool bar..unless you have a version of security software that does not allow popups.

roxy, I have no clue. I swear, it's friggin windows 2000 (what is that, like a million years old now???). It's just something that irks me. I guess I can live with it. I'll just put my emoticons on while I'm at work! And my computer at home doesn't even have sound. Poor thing. It's slowly biting the dust..... LOL!

Gotcha!! and your ocmputer is only 500,000 years old...in computer age. Our desktop is too. When I fianlly dies I am going to take the shotgun to it..it makes me that crazy.

Okay, thanks to a pm from pyb, I'm going to try this. I'm telling you, I'm computer illiterate! Sad to say since I work on a computer all day long! Let me see if this works........... :hug:

OMG! It works! It works!

Thanks everyone! I tried every single suggestion and pyb sent me link to go to and tried every single suggestion on there, which lead me to another place and tried every single suggestion on there and lo and behold! Look! I can now do neat-o stuff here at home! Hot damn! :sun:

Glad to see that it worked.

Woooo Hooooo!!! Yeah Cannr and Pyb

Don't complain too much cannr at least u don't have windows ME! YIKES!
