need help w/gambling related comp. question (inside)

[gman2]

for those that can help, id greatly appreciate it. for some reason, pop-up boxes vital to gambling sites and other sports sites arent working for me. i dont know if i need a certain application downloaded or what, but im really frustrated. theres are the types of sites that simply wont function correctly. as you can tell, theyre all "related" in a way as far as how they "appear/pop up"

1) any time i try to click on "audio" from a yahoo.com hoops game (to listen to the game), the box that normally "pop-up" to play the radio is not "popping up". im basically getting a "blank pop-up box"

2) caribsports.com's betting pop-up screen (to actually place a wager) isnt working. im getting a blank "pop-up" screen

3) stuff like andy katz' daily word on espn.com (which also requires a mini-pop-up just isnt working right.

needless to say, this problem is causing a lot of strife. any computer people know how to fix it or what application im missing?

thanks for any and all responses

make sure you haven't recenly installed any ad blockers, pop-up blockers. these are popular applications to avoid spam but who would've thought that you'd actually want the popups.

if you are using Opera or Mozilla, they have builtin blockers, make sure you disable that feature.

Try using the mouse right click on the link -then- open in new window - try it both at a regular link - like yahoo - and also at your pop up sites. if it works at neither i had the same problem and might have a fix. another quick fix is to hit your esc key while it's blank and then hit your F5 button to reload. give this a try on your pop-ups for a quick fix. i'll start looking for the program that fixed mine, in the mean time try this out and let me know if either of the above work.

For me - the problem started when I took my wifes bonzi buddy off. curious if you've done that recently

good luck
