Are you following the instructions in the below link to set the
Popup-Blocker settings to "High"?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/web/sp2_popupblocker.mspx

Also make sure intellicast.com site is not in the exceptions list in popup
blocker.

In "Internet" security zone, the "Sites" button is greyed out because
"Internet" zone is for all sites that is not added to any of the other
zones. So all Internet sites are by default in this zone. For preventing
popups, you should properly configure the Popup-Blocker.
