not signed in so previous reply anon but actually majestic100. Meant to also say that having disabled Shockwave, whilst don't get that pop up I get one in the status bar saying the webpage is looking for an addon that is disabled ???? What all this about?

Started reading this and thought someone was cutting and pasting something I wrote but then noticed it was me!, daft pratt.

Do microdsoft updates and the shockwave after, not sure what fixed it but it went away for me so some update (not sure what) does sort it out. Maybe letting the shockwave player work again and see if it goes, might have been internet explorer and months on now goes.

Did use firefox to get around it but do use both as firefox crashes but this maching is useless and always has so Ie or firefox I can use and whe it goes all ok. Try again and see if microsoft doing its own updates for a few months has sorted, has for me but dont know why.

Daniel_g; Just received email reply prompt and when conected back to your forum reply, lo and behold, no pop ups at all!?! No sure why nothing this time. Just checked add-ons and shockwave flash object still disabled. Decided to enable again and to open up new thinkbroad band page. No popups 1??! Somethings got i'st knickers in a twist but looks like issue reolved (one way or the other)

What I thought, useless something that put it's self right.
Guess we shall never know.

update sorted somewhere i would think.

All good stuff.

Assuming that you're using Firefox, did you try to check if your "plug-ins" are up-to-dates?? Namely going into FF's "Add-on" menu and click "click to check if all your plug-ins that you've installed are up-to-date". Then you should be displaying with a list, which you could see if any plug-ins that you've installed needing to be updated. Just by clicking the corresponding "update" link/s against it could download/install your out-of-dates, if it found it, plug-ins rather than completely disabling it at all!
I used to have similar experience BUT it has all gone now after I did the above. Good luck
