Here is another site that I am having problems with -
http://www.hometownpropertiesinc.com/property_details.asp
when i Click on the virtual tour, it won't open.
I'm wondering if that is a pop up somehow - or the way it 
plays the tour?
if I right click and say open in new window, a new window 
opens.
If I click on the links on the right - dining room etc. I 
get a red X.

Chris,

Check all of your security settings in your computer... 
particularly your
Operating system, your firewall/antivirus/adware/malware 
software and
Internet Explorer (and Outlook Express since they share many 
settings) or
whatever browser/email client you use.

Anything that disables or limits anything such as JAVA, 
HTML, DirectX,
Flash, pop-up ads, banner ads, displaying pictures etc etc 
could have an
impact on what you are able to see/display/download on any 
given website.
