Explorer keeps popping

[Anonymous]

Right this has been annoying me for months and it has finally pissed me off.

I'm sat here listening to Pulse by Pink Floyd on my PC.

Almost every time I click on a URL and a new window loads up I get a bloody annying popping sound (usually 2 pops) and reading said webpage I get intermittent single pops.

I tried to google it but every page is talking about pop ups and not what I need, I also cannot find anything on Microsofts knowledge base.

I do not have MS pop up blocker turned on and I do not use any other pop up blocker.
I do use NIS2006 but have ad blocker and pop up blocker disabled

Any ideas before I toss it out the window?

Thanks

Am using explorer 6

Tried that Dave but its still doing it.

I dont want to change browsers as I shouldnt have to, my laptop does not do it.

It's IE all over for you.. Use FF as people have suggested.

Give me 5 minutes to setup a page for you to visit and I'll have firefox installed whether you like it or not

Firefox is the future. IE 7 doesn't have anything on it and it's nowhere near a resource hungry.

I take it the bit about not wanting to change browers skipped right passed you:clown:

Who cares about resources, I have 2gig ram and FX55 CPU

IE sucks huge amounts of donkey dick, firefox is the future, no stupid crappy active-x controls wreaking havoc on your machine etc.etc.

I think you have an over inflated perception of self if you think that what you actually want counts for anything. :rasp:



Get FF installed caveman.

You should have to, as IE is a total POS. Opera is the future.

Opera had its chance - but still.

Anything is better than IE.. even the old AOL (non IE) browser.

Opera had it's chance at what? It's a superb browser. The PC public really do need educating about just how bad IE really is

lol @ the firefox geeks.

You do know what will happen if it gets too big !!

Microsoft buys it?

 

[Munson]

Microsoft realises the PC using public arent content with zero features anymore, and they actually write a good browser?

They already think they have, with SPYWARE ENABLER 7!

Opera had it's chance at what? It's a superb browser.

Just the JavaScript vulnerabilities, lack of support and the amount of bloated code make it a second choice to Firefox.

Indeed and that was 2004.

Things move on.

 

[Munson]

Personally I prefer Opera but that's my choice. I'm not really sure what's implied with the 'had it's chance' thing. Things have moved on how? Opera 9 is a superb browser.

Both are in a different world to IE that's for sure

opera is crap, IE is crap, FF is king!

i hate designing websites that work ok on IE and Opera, but you have to! FF is spot on though!
