problems after installing service pack 2 for windows XP

[davikokar]

Hallo,
I just installed the service pack 2 for windows xp and I encountered few problems.
I have a website (

http://www.davico.ch)

that uses pop-ups and javascript. The problems are that Internet explorer acts differently on the online version and on the offline version, that are exactly the same. The difference are:
- in the offline version each time I load a page explorer will disable the scripts by default (this doesn't happen in the online version)
- the pop-up windows in the online version act differently than offline: they don't center automatically and they show the status bar.

Can someone give an idea of what is going on?

thanks

Add the sites to the Secure Sites list.

Adjust the popup feature: in IE, Tools, Popup Blocker, Popub Blocker Settings, allowed list.

Get rid of SP2 it has caused nothing but pain or get use to this link:

If anyone calls and says "I know a little something about computers" just tell them to reformat it.
