Some Internet hypertext links or pop-ups not reacting

Hi,
Please, please I really need some help. I am about to throw Windows Vista and my Toshiba out the window!!
For whatever reason some internet links that I try and click on - from trusted sights just don't work - I get absolutely no reaction from my PC - it does not even say not-responding, it is almost as if it has ignored my action of clicking on the link. When I try the same exercise on another machine using Windows XP it works fine.
Similarly Ithe pop-up to allow me to load photographs at blogspot.com just ignores the fact that I have clicked on it.
I have trawled through all the security options. Changed each one and tried again, unfortunately I have not had any success. Has anyone out there got any ideas? I would be most grateful.

This issue is understandable and there is definitely not a kind of magic solution. If you wrote about some pages how we should understand your problem.
Can you please send the link of those famous pages? I would like to test it with my notebooks (Vista and WXP).

  • How to change internet preferences to allow pop ups in a particular URL?

    How to enable pop ups in a specific URL site on the internet using SAFARI (so that it's statements in my account online can be viewed and printed)?  I am advised by the financial entity that pop ups need to be allowed on their web site.

    Gail, later last night I did find an article through Apple's online support that I have copied below to get to the pop- up subdirectory via clicking in sequence on Safari/preferences/security. So, I agree that I can find no way in Safari to block or unblock specific web site pop-ups, but this does block/unblock in general.

    Safari 6 (OS X Mountain Lion): Block pop-ups and unnecessary content
    You can set Safari to prevent webpages from displaying pop-up windows or loading time-consuming content that may be unnecessary.
    Unfortunately, many beneficial features use the same technology as ads and other content you might not want to see. So if you block pop-up windows or other web content, you might also block the animation and interactivity that make webpages interesting.
    Block pop-ups on webpages
    Open Safari if it is not already open.
    Choose Safari > Preferences, and then click Security.
    Turn on “Block pop-up windows.”
    Blocking pop-up windows stops only those windows that appear when you open or close a page. It does not block pop-up windows that open when you click a link.
    If you block pop-up windows, you might miss important information for a webpage. For example, a website that provides services to you might use a pop-up window to request your user name.
    Block unnecessary webpage content
    Open Safari if it is not already open.
    Choose Safari > Preferences, and then click Security.
    In the “Web content” section, select or deselect types of content you want to block or enable. For an explanation of the options, click the Help button (looks like a question mark).

  • Images inside pop-ups not displaying correctly

    I am generating a CHM using RoboHelp 10. I have certain pop-ups in some topics. These pop-ups contain screen shots. After generating the CHM, when I click the pop-ups to view the screen shots, they are not displayed correctly. That is, half of the image does not appear and there are no horizontal scroll bars either to scroll. This happens for pop-ups that are appear on the left side of a topic.The images inside pop-ups that appear to the right side of a topic appear fine when clicked.

    Hi Rick,
    Thank you for the response. Alas, updating the DHTML effects doesn't help. In the project that am working, I have used hyperlinks that are marked to be displayed as auto-sizing pop-ups.
    I also tried editing the eHlpDhtm.js file as mentioned in the thread here, https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1297423#expires_in=86399993&token_type=bearer&access_token =eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIng1dSI6I…. But that was of no avail either.
    Do you have any other insights here?
    Regards,
    Anamika
    P.S. Am using RH 10.0.1.292.

  • Allowed pop ups not showing

  • New breed of pop-ups not being blocked?

    Websites are using some sort of pop-up that doesn't get blocked like the normal ad type pop-up? Usually the pop-up ask some sort of question when you first visit the site(i.e. would you like to sign up for our news letter, etc..) . These pop-ups are annoying because you have to close them before you can see the page contents you are visiting. Yahoo mail uses one of theses pop-ups when you log out of your email asking you to make yahoo.com your home page.
    I've noticed that these pop-ups are becoming more frequent and more websites are using them. BigFishgames.com just popped one at me about a new game they've added.
    I am getting tired of having to close these pop-ups all the time!
    Does any one know how to stop them?

    See if anything here helps you. <br />

  • PDF Pop-ups Not Opening In Browser

    For someone here at work, when they're in the campus web-based HR reporting system and they run a report, instead of popping the PDF up into a browser window/tab, she gets a download dialog box (save or cancel, etc).
    I have reset the 'open PDF in browser' internet setting for her within Adobe Reader (i.e. deselected it, closed, reopened and reselected that option).
    IE's pop-up blocker is off.
    Still the problem persists.
    To check on whether it may be something not getting through from a GPO in the AD, we had her log onto another like computer in the same office, and everything works fine on that one.
    System details:
    Win7 Ent. 64
    Adobe Reader X
    IE 8 (required for this site I think)
    Latest Java
    I have even completely uninstalled/cleaned out everything Adobe and Java and reinstalled after reboot and check disk.
    Any ideas what's going on here?

    The Adobe Reader plugin may not work properly on Mac and the recommendation in the past was to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application.
    Note that there are other things that may need attention.
    Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Calendar pop-ups not available in portal but appearing in BAB

    Hi,
    When I execute Sales Order transaction through BAB, certain fields with Date values are having pop up icon through which calender opens up, but same thing when executed through protal does not show such icon through which calendar can be opened, only the text field appears.
    What could be the problem ? same thing I am executing
    through BAB, it goes fine and in Portal its not showing
    Vishal

    Vishal, can you check the data type of the fields that do not show the date picker pop-up. I think these fields are not of type 'DATS' which prevents the trigger the actual pop-up. EIther you have to add the date picker functionality ourself (not easy), for more information on the actual date picker fuctionality have a look at the BSP Application: "HTMLB_samples". Hope this helps, Tiest.

  • Pop ups not popping up

    I use my Mac to print postal labels. When you do this from USPS website, the label will open up in a PDF file (I believe) so I can and review and print. I tried this yesterday several times and it just wouldn't work. My pop up blocker is turned off, I have cleared cache, history and it does say printer is ready. I printed some priority labels just a week and half go with no problem. I did have an issue at Paypal trying to do the same and called for support and found out my pop up was on but I ended up canceling the transaction anyway. I have no problem printing a document or an article off the web. I have updated my Adobe reader which the USPS recommend. Nothing. My guess is there is somthing preventing this pop up (if that's you want to call it) from opening up.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Katt

    There is a workaround that I always use, because I hate being blocked.  Just go into Menu>Window>Activity.  It shows everything that has happened recently with your computer.  You should see one that says USPS or something like that.  Click on the little triangle that brings down everything you did with that website.  There should be one that says .pdf or something like that.  It's usually the largest file (it lists the size, usually in KB on the right).  Just double click, it will open up in a new window.  Print.  Done.
    This should work.

  • Import Error - pop ups not supported

    http://www.mj12games.com/starmada/shipbuilder.xlt
    On this excel spreadsheet, there is a section where you input a value by choosing a menu that pops up. Does Numbers not support this feature at all?

    Given the extension name, I assume that the sheet is an Excel 11 one.
    If I am right, you got a designed behavior:
    /* Excel 11 Importer */
    "Pop-up menus in cells weren\\U2019t imported. The cell values were retained." = "Pop-up menus in cells weren’t imported. The cell values were retained.";
    It seems that Numbers developers didn't get the way to decipher these items.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to close all unselected windows (background windows). This is for pop ups not blocked by the safari block pop up preference. This would be different to [cmd q] as it would leave the selected window with her tabs active...

    this is for safari.
    Thanks!

    None that I know of - Option clicking a tab 'x' closes all others, but doesn't work for windows, here.
    Between Ghostery & Adblock Safari extensions, you'd rarely see a pop-up at all.

    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on

    Recently I have been getting all of these pop ups on my computer and they wont stop. My computer speed is still perfectly fine but the pop ups wont quit on my Safari and Google Chrome. I did download ClamXav app on the app store and its found a few trojans and has quarantined them and deleted them but I still have the pop ups, I also tried the Addblocker on Google and it has helped some but there are still Pop-Ups. I cant use the internet without any of these going away someone please please help me

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • My safari has random pop ups and opens new ad tabs

    Hi there!
    Ever since a few days I have some issues with random advertisements, pop-ups and my safari even opens up new tabs, when I open up another tab. It's really annoying and I read that it could be a virus that's constantly changing, so 'old' solutions might not be applicable anymore, so that is why I am opening a new discussion. Also, I read about firstly making a back-up, does this need to be done with an external hard drive?
    Thanks so much in advance!
    These are print screens of the pop ups

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How Do I STOP pop ups FROM enabled when I Have disabled them to pop up it happens when I am workin on an important document a real pain

    Hello fisherman66,
    Firefox usually doesn't block pop-ups, especially if you allow them, but extensions and some security software can block pop-ups.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
