Hi,
My problem is similar, so I will piggyback my question here.
I'm using WinXP and IE ver 7 and logged-in as Limited User on my PC.
Had problem only for 2 days since yesterday. My regular video streaming news
sites close the IE browser after a pop-up msg. However, no such problem when
I log in as Administrator. I have no problem with Youtube or the CNN site
listed below.
The problem site of mine is at
http://news.kbs.co.kr/asx/news_playe...Away8yMC5hc2Y=
I don't know what had changed 2 days ago to cause this problem.
Any advice for me ?
Thx.
