Answer:

When a web application attempts to open an additional Internet Explorer 6 window, the browser returns the error message "a pop-up window was blocked".
Since IE does not have a popup blocker, it must be one of a few things causing this:

- Check your anti-virus and firewall for an option to block popups.

-Disable the popup blocker on your Google toolbar.

-You might have an application on your system that blocks popup windows. Check if you have any Internet security applications running in the Taskbar.
As a possible work-a-round:

Many of the popup blockers have the option to bypass them by holding down the Ctrl key when you click on a link.
