Pop Up Window Help! - 1/30/2006 16:58:41   
Hi Everyone!

Im pretty new here so please bare with me. Ive got a problem and its annoying the brains out of me. I just cant find the solution. Im into my cars allot (specially VW's) and ive bought a new lap top recently (Sony Vaio VGN-A517S).

My problem is i cant view any of the the thumbnails on one of my favorite VW enthusiast websites!! Here is the url to the website:

http://www.dub-nation.com/index.html

When i click on a thumbnail, for example on this page:

http://www.dub-nation.com/show/dubfest/3.aspx

It just wont open! Now, ive tried disabling the internet explorer built in pop up blocker, ive disabled the google bar popup blocker, ive even turned off my anti-virus for 5 minutes to see if that had anything to do with it, but still no luck!

I then thought it might be an Internet Explorer problem, so i downloaded Mozilla and thought that would work, but still wouldn't :S I turned on the Sun Java console and while browsing and still wont work... ive tried everything i can think off.

I tried the website at work, and asked my friend to have a try and it worked fine on both so i know its a problem with my lap top. I just don't know what to do. I dont know, maybe i need some sort of plugin or path??

Please help! Thanks in advance.

Have you tried holding down the Ctrl key while clicking the link? Also, the images you pointed out open via javascript which leads me to wonder if javascript is not working properly on your machine. I would suggest a complete virus scan with something other than Norton, perhaps AVG.

I just got a similar laptop and have had no problems. But I did uninstall Norton first thing and installed AVG for virus protection.

Go to this url and it will test your browser to see if it is current or has a security or other

This might provide a clue as to what is going on with the viewing issues. Most people don't have a problem with Norton but I would make it my number one suspect in this.
