What are Popups?
  Popup windows are windows that appear automatically without your permission when you open an Internet browser page. They vary in size, but usually do not take up the whole screen.

Most computers have a popup blocker installed since popup ads are common and unwanted. However, you may want to view a popup, such as the DriveTheBall Tutorials. To view a wanted popup, you will need to turn off the popup blocker. Remember to turn your Popup Blocker back on when you are done viewing the DTB tutorial.

Below are instructions on some of the common popup blockers.
