Some YouTube videos have annotations that pop up on the video during playback. The annotations often provide information about the subject of the video, or links to other websites. Though some of the annotations are useful, many are obtrusive and add no value. You can disable the pop-over annotations while watching a single video or so that they don't appear on any of the videos you watch.

Disable Annotations in a Single Video Navigate to the video you want to watch. It will start playing automatically once it loads. Locate the Annotations icon in the bottom right corner of the video player. The Annotations icon is red and shaped like a comic-strip word balloon. Click the Annotations icon to turn off the pop-over annotations. The icon will change color to gray. Disabling Annotations on All Videos Sign into your YouTube account or create a new account by clicking "Create Account," filling out the information and following the onscreen instructions. Click the arrow to the right of your user name in the top right corner of the website, and select "Settings." The "Account Settings" screen will appear. Select "Playback Setup" in the menu on the left side of the screen. Click the check box next to "Show Annotations" to remove the checkmark, and then click "Save Changes."

How do you disable a pop blocker

Pop-ups are web pages that automatically open when clicking on a weblink; they may or may not be related to the site you are attempting to view.
Most often pop-ups are unwanted advertisements and other forms of spam, which is the reason pop-up blockers exist: to keep unwanted images and sites from interfering with normal Internet browsing.
Sometimes pop-up blockers will block sites and pages that you may want to view, in which case you may want to disable your pop-up blocker.

Create the Menu tab.
Right click in the top section on your homepage select the Menu option this will add File Edit View Tools and Help to the top of your homepage
Click the Tools menu.
Scroll down to "Pop-up blocker."

Select, "Turn off popup blocker."
Disable Pop-up Blocking in Firefox
Select the Tools, menu and click "Options."
Click the Content tab.
Uncheck the box labeled "Block pop-up windows," then click "OK."
Disable Stand Alone Pop-up Blockers

How do you unblock pop up windows

If you are trying to simply let one pop-up window through, hold the <ctrl> key down when you click the link which would normally bring up the pop-up window. Otherwise, you can normally disable it by going to your browser "Tools"-->"Internet Optoins"-->"Privacy" and disabling it there. Of course, it depends on what browser you use (this is for IE7), and if you have other pop-up blockers installed.

Everytime i get on my yahoo page to check my mail nothing pops up but it tells me i have mail! is there something wrong with the website or is my computer?

Is this at the logon screen? if so, dont worry about it, it just means that you have one unread message in outlook, or at least thats what your computers registry thinks. open outlook, read the email, delete it and leave outlook open. hit ctrl and L to logout, then login again. this should erase the registry value...leaving you in peace. your email that you access through a web browser has nothing to do with this, so just ignore it.

Every time i try to go to you tube but instead of the you tube page popping up an error page pops up that says 400 bad request please help me!!!!!!!!

Delete cookies by going to Internet options and try to re-log in the browser. Also try another browser if deleting cookies doesn't work. Some virus prevent you from logging into particular sites. Install a good anti virus software and scan for virus. I use kaspersky anti virus and haven't had any trouble in a long time.


Peace,
