In Windows XP service pack 2 you automatically get a pop-up killer active
unless you stop it. Fortunately it is easy process to remedy the situation:
1 Navigate to the sight and page that has the offending link.
2 Attempt to open that link by pressing enter on it.
3 When you hear the clicking sound press alt+N for November.
4 Now press the Windows Application key or Shift+F10 if you like.
5 From the menu choose "always allow pop-ups from this site" and press enter.
6 If you get a dialogue asking you that you are sure you wish to recieve
pop-ups from the site you are on press enter on the "yes" button.
7 The next page will then open for you.
If this does not work for you then scour your "Add and Remove programs" for
Google toolbar or Yahoo Toolbar and uninstall them as they have pop-up blockers
that cause similar trouble and are of inconsequential use to most screen reader
users otherwise.

Subject: [jaws-uk] JAWS and a problem with IE
Hi everyone,
Asking on behalf of my brother please. This problem happens on both his
laptop and desktop using JFW 7 and it used to happen with V6 too. On some
websites, when he clicks on a link which opens in a new page he gets a clicking
sound but without actually that link responding. I doubt it that it is the
Pop-up blocker getting in the way cause turning it off or using the exemptions
feature doesn't sort out the problem. The only way we found to get round the
problem was to click the link after quitting JAWS. Please remember that the
problem doesn't occur on all websites with that kind of links but a recent
example was on the Products' page of the Human Ware website when he tried to
open a link which says "More information about Maestro".
We are both puzzled so any assistant will be most welcomed.
Amro
