Default pop ups

Hi,
I recently installed ME upgrade on my older pc. I have a network card and
all drivers are installed. I need to get online with my college and it needs
to have pop ups disabled. Is there a way to do that with ME? Also I am using
SBC Global DSL and I can get to MSN and some other sites but can'T get to
yahoo.com it says page can't be displayed. I have reset my Modem and DSL
router but am still having issues.
Thanks,
John

There's nothing in Win Me that stops pop-ups. To do that you would have
to install a third party application or perhaps customise the hosts file.

Likewise there's nothing in Win Me that would allow you to visit say
msn.com yet stop you from visiting yahoo.com unless you have blocked this
by using for example a customised hosts file.

Thank you for your response. Do you have any suggestions for a third party
software for the pop ups or should google desktop or something like that
provide me the fix?

You originally said ""needs to have pop ups disabled" so I don't quite
understand why you are now asking about software that does the opposite,
that is prevents pop-ups. Such software tends to be amongst that offered
by anti-virus/anti-malware vendors.

Perhaps it would help if you were to explain exactly what it is you are
trying to "fix".

Sorry about the mis info in my last post. I need a pop up blocker from a 3rd
party. Do you have any suggestions? i.e. google desktop or something like
that provide me the fix? The fix is to block pop ups on individual websites.
If my online college "mootle.edu" needs to have pop ups disabled. When I
attempt to log into moodle.edu I get a message stating that pop ups must be
dis abled to continue.
thanks again,
john

So don't block them. As I have already said there is nothing in Win Me
that is blocking pop-ups. If these are being blocked then this is due to
some software that you have installed, the same software may be what is
preventing you accessing yahoo.com.

Are you sure that the message is about pop-ups and not cookies?
