How to Disable your Pop-up Blocker

If you are using software that disables pop-up browser windows (such as the Google toolbar or Internet Explorer 6), you may need to disable this feature for the Digital Collections site in order to view archived materials such as exam papers which appear in pop-up windows.

Internet Explorer 6 on Window XP (service pack 2)

The version of IE 6 included in the Service Pack 2 version of Window XP has a built in pop-up blocker.

To allow pop-ups for a particular site you need to add that site to a list:

1. From the 'Tools' menu select 'Pop-up Blocker > Pop-up Blocker Settings...'
2. In the 'Pop-up Blocker Settings' dialog box type the name of the site i.e. http://www.saivam.org.uk for 'Digital Collections' and click the 'Add' button.

Google Toolbar

You can disable pop-up blocking for a particular site such as Digital Collections by simply clicking the pop-up blocker button on the Google toolbar after you have logged into Digital Collections (not at the logon screen).
