Go into add/remove programs and try to find the popup blocker and uninstall it!


Is the Packard Bell a whole seperate browser? Different to I.E?


If so, you need a programe called "SetBrowser"

That looks like IE to me. If it is Xp SP2, in Internet Explorer, click Tools -> Pop up Blocker and select Turn off Pop up blocker.

As for getting rid of the packard bell crap, try using this program http://www.x-setup.net/downloads/home.asp?lang=EN.

It allows you to configure a whole load of options and disable others, which might help stop all the PB crap loading.

Also, try getting the latest IE7 beta from the web. This will reset a lot of defaults as well. Although its a beta, its stil pretty damn stable.

If you can post a screen dump of your add/remove programs, we can probably look and see what might be causing you grief.

On your Browser, go to Help > About xxxxxx then you'll find out whether it's IE or not, does look like it though.


I use Maxthon, and I think it's brilliant.


www.maxthon.com


Maybe it's Ie with a packard bell skin or something?

I think thats what it is.

Personally think Firefox is a better browser. Maxthon still uses the IE engine.

Way I would do it is change the theme in windows to Classic View. Looks like windows 2000 then.
