Re: off-road.com
Well, if I get to a site and the appropriate windows are not showing as
I click, I'll turn off the POPUP software to see if it has any effect.
Sometimes I get the window I needed and sometimes it's due to the
website's error. You get used to it. 90% of the time, it's just an
invisible helper.
