Silly question pertaining to the pop-up messages: How do you make it stop??
I've recieved a message and replied to it as well, but it keeps popping up. I've tried deleting it, closing it, turning the pop-up filter on and back off. I've even tried logging out and and in again, but it's still there. It's getting just a little bit frustrating that it keeps popping up with each step I make during a case.

Thanks. Since I'm not on a dialup, I'll try your suggestion to reload pages on every visit.
It's not caused by the back button despite both you, Sirgarr and Fujoubou suggesting this ;) - it frequently happens when clicking a link as well. However, I often have to refresh pages to get any new info there might be on them, because they're still on the previous information when I click them - so the reload option might just turn out to do the trick :)

My first post, so I'm glad it can be a helpful one. What you need to do here is go into your control panel---> Administrative tools----> Services---> find Messenger on the services list. Go into the properties and disable messenger as well as stopping it from loading on startup. That will cure many of your pop-up woes. Also AdAware has done a long-needed update lately, do a Google for the free program and run it on your system to search for spyware.

Elly,
She's refering to in-game popups. Not those annoying xp system message people use to spam. That is good advice though. I'm surprised how many people out there don't turn those things off.

Oh, I see. I haven't run into that. Maybe a cookie problem? Best of luck.

Just wanted to say thank you and let you know that it worked :)
Well, "Every visit to page" did make everything slower, but it turned out I had it set at "Never", and so switching to "Automatically" did the trick too :)
