AOL Toolbars—among many others, including IE itself if Service Pack 2 for

 

never appears.

Windows XP is installed—contain such features. You must configure your

 

 

pop-up blocker to not block pop-ups from the Matrix Server software. If this is

 

 

happening at the server PC, the address the pop-up blocker must allow

 

 

pop-ups from is http://127.0.0.1. If this is happening at a Matrix Client, the

 

 

pop-up blocker must allow pop-ups from http://<MatrixServer>, where

 

 

<MatrixServer> is the host name or IP address of the Matrix Server PC. How

 

 

the pop-up blocker is configured varies depending on the program, so check

 

 

that program’s documentation for instructions on how to do this. Usually, the

 

 

easiest solution is to disable the pop-up blocker entirely.

 

 

If a pop-up blocker causes the browser-based user interface to not show, the

 

 

underlying program that handles system communication, warning pop-ups,

 

 

sending e-mails, etc., should still function as normal.

 

 

 

 

When Matrix is launched, I get
