What are popups?
- Small popup windows automatically appear on your browser screen with or without your permission.
- Browsers typically allow you to block the appearance of popups through the browser settings.
- Popup blocking is turned on by default, so you don't have to worry about enabling it.
- In Bb Vista, you need to allow popup windows so many of the client-side applications will work properly.
If your browser failed the Popup Window Check, please follow the directions below to set your browser settings to allow popups in Vista.
