Many toolbars that integrate with IE also contain pop-up blockers, such as those available from Google and Yahoo. FIG. 3 shows an example of the Google toolbar; others are very similar.

System Requirements

FIG. 3

Typically, when a PC has an active pop-up blocker and the Matrix client is launched, a progress bar appears briefly and disappears without any further visible indica- tion of anything happening. This is usually an indication that the PC has a pop-up blocker that is stopping the Matrix window from appearing.

There are some general guidelines to follow to track down the responsible pop-up blocker (there can easily be multiple pop-up blockers present in any system). The goal is to configure each pop-up blocker by either turn- ing it off or telling it to allow pop-ups generated by the Matrix server (while still blocking pop-ups from all other sites). On a single-PC Matrix system, you should config- ure the pop-up blocker to allow pop-ups from server address http://127.0.0.1. On multiple-PC systems, the address to allow is that of the Matrix server, either its host name or IP address.

Many pop-up blockers recognize the Control key on the keyboard, if pressed while clicking on a Link, as a com- mand to temporarily allow pop-ups originating from that link’s source. To try this method, hold down the Control key on the keyboard while double-clicking on the Matrix Client Icon on the desktop. This works only for that par- ticular pop-up instance, so it’s not a good long-term solution.

General guidelines to find and configure pop-up blockers:

First, open a blank IE browser window. Click on Tools in the menu bar (FIG. 1). Choose Turn Off Pop-up Blocker or configure the pop-up blocker to allow pop-ups from the Matrix server.

If IE has been properly configured and the Matrix win- dows still do not appear, it’s time to look for pop-up blockers from other vendors, starting with toolbars inte- grated with IE. In IE, click on View in the menu bar and choose Toolbars (FIG. 4).
