Is it just me and my cheap laptop, or does anyone else have this problem? I reckon that roughly 50% of the time that I try to navigate this site I will get a pop-up saying, "Internet explorer cannot open this site. Operation aborted", often in triplicate. After having got rid of the pop-ups I find that everything is OK and I get to the page selected without further action. This is most frustrating, not to say time-consuming. Any advice from the more literate PC users out there?

Change to Firefox...it gets rid of all the annoying pop-ups!

Go to your browser preferences and turn on 'block pop up windows'...

Or as silky says, change to Firefox... which is faster and more stable imo...

Thanks for your help. Have installed Firefox and it seems to work. Didn't realise it was free!

Cool....glad you got Firefox installed - i'd never change back to IE now...

So am I. As has been said, faster than IE and not a single pop-up all day. Thanks again.
