how can i disable pop ups?

thanks.
 
Do you mean tips when you hover your mouse over any given icon? Or do you mean online and browsing?

Agnitum Outpost firewall, found at and search for "agnitum" is a decent firewall that also can block any adsize bigger than what you specify: for example, any advert bigger than 100x100 pixels.

Try downloading the freeware "popup stopper" if you're already using the integrated XP firewall

...if you're referring to the mouse-over "tips", then I can't help you, sorry :)
 
Look for The Proxomitron.
Its free and gives a lot of control.

If you want to go all out, you can download the free web browser Mozilla. It has a very good pop-up blocker. But you probably don't want to go that route. Just a suggestion anyway.
