Probably it is your assumtion that it is crap that caused you to avoid adequate diagnosis of the problem. You sure did not provide an adequate description of the problem, which is a very likely cause of not getting a response (from Microsoft). In particular, XP SP2 does have popup blocking capability that works by showing a small window at the top of a page. This is similar to what you described, but if what you were encountering was the XP SP2 popup blocker, then you sure did not understand the problem. If you do not describe a problem well, then it is impossible to get useful help. If your pages use popups then XP SP2 will block them at the client end unless the client's owner chooses to see them. This probably is upsetting for you, but don't blame Microsoft for simply doing what is wanted by most of their customers.
