If you turn on windows firewall which come with service pack 2 , it doesn't let some of webwiz forums javascript pages to be open. For example you can not click on any username to see its profile or you can not see "more emoticons" or ... !

The only way is turning windows firewall off !

I dont like this !!

I have just tested it with IE on Win XP SP2 with the Firewall enabled and all the pop up windows opened without a problem.

Check the settings of any pop up window software you have running on your machine.

I found what caused the problem ! It�s a mater of 2 firewalls running at the same time.

Windows firewall at its own works well, and my zonealarm at its own works well too. But working together they conflict with each other.

Here is a document from Microsoft which may be useful:

Why you should only use one firewall

If you have more than one firewall installed on your computer, you should not have both firewalls turned on at the same time. Two firewalls turned on at the same time can cause compatibility problems that result in some programs not working correctly.

To help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats, you should always have one firewall installed and turned on. Windows includes a firewall that is turned on by default. (However, some computer manufacturers and network administrators might turn it off.) If you want to install and run a second firewall, turn off Windows Firewall.
