I installed a popup blocker a few days ago and got sick of it since it blocked my ability to read e-mails, write, etc. through AOL. It also would not allow me to click on the link of one site to another (new window would not appear or "pop up". This is still happening even after I uninstalled the software. Did it change the internet registry? If so what do I need to change in order to view pop up pages, hyperlinks, etc.?
Which pop-up blocker was it? It should not have made unreversed changes to your Registry, though I think you are correct in assuming that that's what happened. Try Googling on the program name (in quotes) and the phrase
new window (also in quotes) and see what turns up.
Heve you checked your settings:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security? I can't say exactly what settings might need changing, but it won't hurt to check.
As to a pop-up blocker, that's one of the main reasons that I run
Mozilla, but a good pop-up blocker for IE (and useful in general) is the
Google Toolbar.
