Enable popups
I have a device (Skycaddie) that requires about 3 different popup windows to appear on their website before it starts a download feature.
Some kind of "popup stopper" is not allowing the process.
I have disabled/shutdown IE popup blocker, Windows firewall, AVG, WinPatrol and ZoneAlarm.
Any other ideas?

Have you got JavaScript disabled? If so, then there's no way a page can open a pop-up.
In my capacity as web developer, this is my approach for people with JavaScript disabled:
I use regular HTML to write a link using the TARGET="_BLANK" attribute into a named DIV - so it will open in a new window (same size as the existing window), then, on the very next line I stick in some in-line JavaScript which replaces the content of the DIV with a JavaScript function call to open a new window with the parameters I want i.e. size, scrolling, chrome, etc.
In this way, you can always be 100% sure people clicking a link will see the intended content, but some will see it in my desired layout, while others will see it in a new (full) window.

Do you have any toolbars like the Yahoo toolbar or the Google toolbar? Either disable their popup blocker feature ro remove those "toolbars" (they report your internet activity back to them and traffic back to you statistics for the pages you're at... why bother with lost bandwidth? )
These days, an add-on "toolbar" for IE isn't any good if it doesn't include a popup blocker. You would do well to not install "toolbars" for IE if only for the sack of keeping your system healthy (well, as healthy as a M$ system can be...)
