  Pop up Blocker
   
  The pop-up blocker prevents new window from automatically opening, they need to be turned off while you're taking your course.

How do you turn them off? First you have to find them. Here are some of the common ones:
   
 

a) If your OS is Microsoft Window XP with Service Pack 2

Please note that Microsoft XP SP2 will add a new pop-up windows blocker in the Internet Explorer. The pop up blocker will prevent the courseware window from displaying properly.

To turn Off the Pop-up Blocker, go to Tools>Pop-up Blocker, click on the 'Turn Off Pop-up Blocker'.

  b) Please disable any pop-up blocker software installed on your computer (like Yahoo Pop Up blocker, MSN Pop up blocker, Google Pop up blocker, Pop up Swatter, My Web Search, SpyWare Nuker, SpyWare Killer, Ad Blocker, Spy Blocker, etc.).
