If you have pop-up windows blocked then you will need to add *.skillport.com to your allowed list. Those using Windows XP service pack 2 and later have a version of Internet Explorer (IE) that has pop-up blocking capability. If you have another pop-up blocking software you will need to go to the web site you got the software from to figure out how to make these changes.

First check to see if you verison of IE has pop-up blockers and if it's on. Do this by selecting Tools -> Internet Options in IE
