I have turned off my popup blocker in my IE and my Yahoo! and yet I still
can't play launchcast because of popup blocker. I have tried
suggestion that "Ricky" has posted and a a suggestion from a "Remesh".
And still it won't work. The little window pops up in a flash and then
disappears.
I never had any problem with this before, now I have a new computer, and
it dowsn't want to work.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What if you right click the IE icon on the desktop and choose Start Without
Add-ons?
Or go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No Add-ons).

I checked that, it's already disabled. There are No Add-ons.

Do you have a 3rd party pop up blocker running?

I don't think so. Can you give me some ideas where to look to find out.
I have been everywhere on this computer.
Thanks

Right-Click IE toolbar and check for any toolbars installed that may
not be apparent to the eye.

Listen for any pop-up blocking noises when the Launchcast pops up.

Try another browser.

Are you an administrator or limited user?

Computer has me as administrator. The launchcast is IN the Yahoo!
browser, it won't come up anywhere else. Thier aren't any noises when
launchcast pops up. It just goes away. And, as far as I can tell I only
have
a Yahoo! browser toolbar.
Thanks.

Launchcast DOES work when using Yahoo! Messenger. So why not on it's own.

Uninstall ALL Yahoo crapware and see if the behavior persists.

OK, I want to thank everyone for their help. It's fixed. Down at the right
hand
corner of the computer where the little icons are, I have an
Ad-ware/Ad-watch, (gray
little box), right click on that. At the top it says, "Monitoring
Active/On". All you have to do is click on that and it will automatically
turn "Monitoring Off". I am no longer
having any problem with Yahoo! Launchcast.

Thanks Again.
