dognamedmoses Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 So.. Let's see if you guys can help me out.. For some reason, whenever I have a few browser windows open, If I navigate to a page that has popup windows opening up, IT completely freezes and waits for the popup to open.. Once the popup (or popups) are open, everything works normally again.. I haven't been able to solve it.. Love any ideas to hear what you think... it's driving me CRAAAAZYY..

natimage Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Hi, I don't know a whole lot about such things...and you've probably done this, but the first thing I would wonder is whether or not you're tying up too much RAM. Do you have a lot of programs running in the background of your computer? Do you have a lot of RAM or a little RAM? And it may not be that at all. I believe I had a similar problem using Netscape. I never looked into it though...I just started using either Mozilla or IE. Good luck, Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-4-L Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 Could you not use a pop-up killer to get rid of unwanted pop-up's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinW Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 I use AdShield (www.adshield.org) and haven't seen a pop-up on my screen in over a year! -kw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-JimE Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Hi, It happens due to several reasons: 1) IE is corrupt 2) IE is needing to load flash or some other plugin 3) IE is programmed to delay all pop up windows. This with number 2 can really get slow 4) For some reason, some ads just crash my IE Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 ah.. we dont have flash, and they prolly got ours setup to delay popups.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
