Frequently Asked Questions:
Why is Popup Blocker not working?
If Popup Blocker does not work or does not appear in the Internet
Explorer context menu, be sure that "Enable third-party browser
extensions" is selected. To do this, select Tools / Internet Options on
the Internet Explorer menu and go to the Advanced tab. You will then have
to restart Internet Explorer before Popup Blocker will work.
Why do I get script errors?
If you see Internet Explorer Script Error windows popping up, be sure
that "Disable script debugging" is selected. To do this, select Tools /
Internet Options on the Internet Explorer menu and go to the Advanced tab. You
can also change this settings on the Advanced tab of the Popup Blocker Options
dialog.
Why do I get an error during
installation?
If you already have Popup Blocker installed and encounter an error
when re-running setup from this page, first un-install Popup Blocker using
"Add/Remove Programs" from the control panel and then try re-running setup from
this page.
Why do I get a Security
Warning during installation?
You will get a security warning because the setup program does not
have a Authenticode signature. You can safely ignore this
message.
