I have a Dell Inspiron 8200, WIN XP pro laptop at home. I wanted to put a new
question in one of the XP newsgroups. However on clicking on the new question
I do not get the new question window but get a message "pop up window blocked"

I have the latest paid version of zone alarm pro firewall. I also tried by
switching of the cookie control in the firewall with no effect.

please advice on how to resolve. This question I am posting from my office
computer.

Internet Explorer 6 has a pop-up blocker which sometimes makes a problems .To
resolve:
Open IE 6 - Tools - Internet Options - Privacy and click on Pop-up blocker's
settings and add the site www.microsoft.com as an exception for always allow.


Also if your Zone Alarm has some functions of pop-up blocking or you have
some other software (toolbar) with pop-up blocker also check its settings.

In addition to Panda_man's reply, I suggest you start using a newsreader
client (Outlook Express, Forte Agent, etc) instead of the web interface to
the groups - it's a much better way overall. You can use
msnews.microsoft.com as the NNTP server & subscribe to as many groups as you
like.
