help: some popups I want close in about 1 second

Some popups I want to see close in about one second. An example is
http://www.intel.com/personal/deskto...ter/dual_core/
If I click on "compare" in "Dual Core Demo" it closes in about a
second.

In IE I went to "manage add-ons", and I took out 4 things I don't
think I need, including a popup blocker. I turned off Spyware Doctor
popup blocker as well as IE pop-up blocker, but it still happens. I
went to tools, internet options, advanced tab, and everything except
"show image download placeholders" was checked under Multimedia, as
someone suggested. I have XP home, all updates.

What can I do to fix this problem?

In Internet Explorer -
Click on View in the Menu bar -
Under View, hover on Toolbars -
Make note of anything that is checked there,
including possibly a blank space -
Any third party toolbars listed there such as
Google, Yahoo Companion, My Searchbar, Starware, etc.
may contain Popup Blocker utilities that would either need
to be turned off or configured to allow popups from the website
in question, such as Intel in your case.
I am not a big fan of any of the third party toolbars,
and some of them are probably downright spyware programs.
Maybe Google is the least offensive of the bunch but you still
have to be aware of its various functions such as the Popup Blocker.
If you find some installed that you were not aware of, you should
consider uninstalling them from Add or Remove Programs
and then restart your computer and then clean out your Cookies,
Temporary Internet Files and History and scan your system with
an updated Anti Spyware program (plenty of free ones available).

Checked were:
Standard buttons
address bar
links
MSN search toolbar
and then there was
Yahoo toolbar - grayed out

I unchecked the MSN toolbar, removed both toolbars, rebooted, deleted
all cookies, history, and temporary files.
I ran a complete antivirus check yesterday, I'll run another one.

I still have the problem. Any more ideas?

Running an Anti Virus scan is fine,
but what about an Anti Spyware scan?
If you are running XP and have a cable modem
type connection, you could try booting to
Safe Mode With Networking and see if the same
behavior happens in that mode.
You could also try going to Internet Properties,
Advanced Tab, Browser section and uncheck
"Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)"
and then restart your computer in Normal Mode and
test the issue again.

two things. first, are you logged into windows as an administrator?
if not, try that. second, to defeat the pop-up blocker hold down the
CNTL key while the new window is loading.

I had started those when I wrote that message, but they were taking
time. I ran five antispy programs, and they found 3 minor things. I
fixed them, still have the problem.

I think it might not be a popup blocker, because
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga...1840/0081a.gif
behaves the same way, and I don't see a popup window when I go there.
It also closes in about 1 second - AND - knocks me all of the way out
of IE.

Yes, I do have that and I will try it.

I'll try that too.

I did that and now both of the items come up in the browser. However,
now clicking on a link in my email program (Eudora) causes it to lock
up. Any ideas?

Well, it worked until I logged off and back on. Now the Intel site
works, but this:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga...1840/0081a.gif

causes IE to close completely. (It works in Mozilla Firefox).
