Strange Changes to My Computer

We've received some calls from customers who have experienced a change in behavior of their computer, and their Web Studio.

They are using the Thumbnail feature in Web Studio. It enables you to add a small image of a photo to a page and when clicked on it shows the full size image.

Their problem is that all of a sudden, the full sized images aren't poping up. They used to, but now they're not. Naturally, the suspect a problem with the software.

But, that's not the problem. It seems that Microsoft has found their way into their computer and changed things.

They have "Automatic Updates" turned on, on their computer. Late at night, Microsoft gets into their machine and changes things around without telling anyone.

Their problem, you see, stems from a recent update to Internet Explorer that adds a Pop-Up blocker to their system. Problem is, Microsoft didn't tell anyone they added it, typical Microsoft.

So, people are thinking they have a software problem, when the truth is that Microsoft is monkeying around with their computer.

If your machine suddenly starts doing things it didn't do, it could be Mr. Gates.

By the way, The popup blocker is in the Tools menu of Internet Explorer. You can't turn it off, at least we didn't find a way. But you can tell it to allow an individual popup to popup and you can tell it to allow "trusted" sites to popup windows.
