<div class="IPBDescription">damn you "adserver"</div> Ok, i have a pop up killer prog that shuts down the pop ups when they "pop up", but that's the problem, when playing i suddenly get a pop-up appear which min's my NS game. The pop up killer shuts the pop-up down fine, but when i max the half-life window again i lose all sound in NS. i've tried hitting esc and "resume game" but that doesn't work.... anyone know a pop up killer prog that stops them appearing at all? :'(

    The better question is:

    "Why are popups appearing while you're playing?"

    www.lavasoft.de

    www.panicware.com (or net)

    The former is for a program called ad-aware. Download it. Scan your computer and remove your adware, spyware or harmful cookies.

    Latter is for a prog I use called "Pop up killer". Original, eh? Works for me.

    VVV Ha ha, beat you!!! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Liku, it makes sense to me, don't get so up against the wall <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    But, what he was saying is.. oooo, this: <a href='http://www.proxomitron.org' target='_blank'>http://www.proxomitron.org</a> . It runs as a proxy on your local machine, stopping <b>all</b> ads. It can be totally customized on what to block, from just poups to stopping all animated GIFS and removing all banners on websites. It's a beast, and I love it!
