please tell me how to stop your popup i dont want them they are
driving me mad i have norton and i have put pop up block on but i

I already stopped my popups - I don't get any here at all. Perhaps you mean *your* pop-ups? This is a public newsgroup, not a direct line to Microsoft. Everyone in here is a volunteer, so there's no sense addressing a post directly to Bill Gates (or to an inanimate operating system). :-)

Flippancy aside, there are many kinds of pop-ups... the following is quoted text from a reply to a similar message, written by Bruce Chambers (a regular in these newsgroups).



When will I ever learn to read other replies before posting my own? <sigh/>. ;-}
