I can't figure out WHAT it is, however, and HOW to disable it. I have popups allowed for www.wc3sear.ch, but whenever I click a thumbnail image, it automatically pops down and shrinks! I have Norton Anti-Virus but I don't believe it has a popup blocker, and I have never downloaded a pop-up blocker yet. I am also on XP service pack 2.

By "Shrinks" do you mean the image it self gets smaller? Or do you mean you cant see it at all?

If it Gets smaller (the image) Chances are, youre running internet explorer. Hover your cursor over the image, first a few saving options will pop up in the upper left of the image, then at the bottom right another box with arrows coming out of it will appear, its orange and quite obvious. If you click that, the image will return to full-size. IE shinks images (Fit to view) so you can see the entire image in a "Thumbnailed view" It's quite annoying.

If that wasnt your problem, maybe i solved someone elses problem lol...but if it isn't leme know, be more descriptive of what u mean by shrinks.

thats all.

SP2 IE comes with a built in pop-up blocker, but if it's just the actual image size getting smaller, follow the advice above and/or change your internet options.

Hmmm I said it wrong, sorry. I meant that as soon as the window pops up, it automatically closes. Sorry, I'v been talking weird for quite a while... >.>

Why not just allow pop-ups from the site? Thats what I did with my pop-up blocker, and it saved my marriage, lol

orr... you could simply hold control when you want to open popups... that blocks most popup blockers
