4. Now click on the "Local Internet" icon that is next to the "Internet" icon. Again, click on "Custom Level." Again, scroll down towards the bottom and where it says, "Use Pop Up Blocker," click "Disable."

5. You have now told your computer to allow pop ups in both the internet and local intranet, so you should have no more trouble with general popups. You can go back in at any time, and enable the pop up blocker if you so choose. Just follow the steps and click "Enable."
