The computer is running IExplorer 5 right now, which lets in popups...it has another browser, Safari, installed that I can switch to?
Thanks. Sorry for the ignorance, am used to Windows.
Double-click on the 'Macintosh HD' icon (upper right) then Double-click on 'Applications' and if you have Safari it should show up there. Then you just click and hold the Safari icon, drag it into the desktop 'Dock' and that's your Shortcut (or 'Alias' in Mac-speak)
If you don't already have Safari there's an easy way to get it: Go to 'System Preferences' (in the Dock), select 'Software Update' then select 'Update Now' and (assuming your on the Web) you'll get a list of software updates you can download straight from Apple for free.
Hope this helps...
