In addition to Clint's reply, I would suggest a handy little ttol written by a friend of mine that writes software for FREE to everyone. His utilites and very small programs take up no memory and do as he designed them to do. Try http://www.analogx.com and look for the Web Utilites. You will find a PopUp stopping utility there for FREE to download.
