How to Remove Pop Up Blocker From Vista

Stop your pop-up blocker from popping up.

The pop-up blocker in Windows Vista is a tool that you can use to prevent unwanted advertisements from being displayed on your computer. When the pop-up blocker is enabled, it can become a nuisance when you are completing forms or entering data on websites that require pop-ups. It is true that you can click on the option to allow pop-ups when you are on those sites. However, in many cases, after you click the option to allow the pop-ups, all of the form information that has been completed will be cleared, which means you have to start entering your information all over again.

Instructions

Internet Explorer

1. Open your Internet Explorer browser.

2. Click "Tools" on the Internet Explorer menu bar.

3. Select "Pop Up Blocker."

4. Select "Pop-Up Blocker Settings" if you want to keep the pop-up blocker enabled and only remove the blocker for certain websites. Add the URL (web address) for the website you want to remove the pop-up blocker from. You can add the URL in the box that is labeled "Address of Website to Allow." Click the "Add" button to remove the blocker for the site. Click "Close" to exit the settings window.

5. Remove the pop-up blocker from all websites by selecting "Tools" on the menu bar. Select "Pop-Up Blocker". Click the option to "Turn Off Pop-Up Blocker."

FireFox

1. Open your FireFox browser.

2. Click "Tools" from the menu bar. Select "Options."

3. Click on the "Content" tab.

4. Remove the check-mark from the option to "Block Pop-Up Windows" if you want to remove the pop-ups from all websites. If you only want to remove pop-ups for certain websites, do not uncheck the option to "Block Pop-Up Windows." Instead, click the "Exceptions" button. You can then enter the "Address of Website" you want to remove the pop-up blocker from and click "Allow."

5. Click "Close" and "OK" to close the options window.
