If Pop-Up Blocker is blocking something you want to see, there are three different ways you can override the Yahoo! Pop-Up Blocker built into Yahoo! Toolbar for Internet Explorer:

Option 1: Add the source of the pop-up window to your Allowed List by doing the following:

1. Click the Pop-Up Blocker menu.
2. Select "Always Allow Pop-Ups From".
3. Select the site from the "Sources of Recently Blocked Pop-Ups" list.
4. Click "Allow".

This allows all pop-ups from this web site to appear without further action.

Option 2: Press and hold the CTRL key while clicking a link. This overrides Pop-Up Blocker for just that one click and allows any pop-up windows resulting from the click to appear. You have to hold down the CTRL key before clicking the link every time you click a link that's currently being blocked.

Option 3: Turn off Pop-Up Blocker by clicking the Pop-Up Blocker menu and unchecking "Enable Pop-Up Blocker". This allows all pop-up windows to appear. If you've done this and the pop-up is still being blocked, it's not being blocked by Pop-up Blocker. Check the settings on the other pop-up blockers installed on your system. You can turn the Pop-Up Blocker back on by selecting "Enable Pop-Up Blocker" again so that it has a checkmark.

Other Programs

Note: If you've tried the three methods listed above and the pop-up you want is still being blocked, the window is NOT being blocked by Yahoo! Pop-up Blocker. It's being blocked by some other pop-up blocker, such as another toolbar you've installed, the blocker built into Windows XP service pack 2, or some other program such as an Internet security program or firewall. Due to the wide variety of programs that may be blocking the pop-up it's impossible to list them all here. Please look for some indication on your system when the window is blocked, such as an icon or sound, to determine what's blocking the window from appearing. Check the "View Toolbars" menu in Internet Explorer to make sure all your installed toolbars are present so you see any indicators they may be presenting. Then check all your applications listed in the "Programs" menu of the "Start" button to see if any of them include a pop-up blocker that may be blocking your window from appearing.
