Thanks for this tip; I've been able to open these pop-ups, but sometimes I have to jump through hoops to do it.

If so, no need to disable or uninstall the pop-up blocker. Usually there's a key command for allowing a page like this, or even a pop-up you know you want to see, to open. Just press either the control key or the shift key at the same time as you press Enter. Now, if this isn't your problem, that won't help. But it often helps me when I click on a link of that sort and hear the telltale click that announces that the pop-up blocker has stopped it.

When I hit enter on a URL that opens a new page it does nothing. When I right click and choose open it then opens but sometimes I get nothing with the PC cursor but can read some with Jaws cursor-- these are pages that previously worked--any advice?
