If you launch the Player from the Internet using Internet Explorer, you could have issues with pop-up blockers, full screen play, and the Do It! mode window not staying on top. 

Note: Do It! mode does not stay on top in Internet Explorer 11 or later versions.

Pop-up Blockers
Pop-up blockers prevent the main Table of Contents window from launching. When attempting to launch, an information box appears below the Address Bar, stating a pop-up has been blocked. In addition, an Information Bar dialog box may appear.

Clicking in the Information Bar enables you to temporarily Allow Pop-ups, Always Allow Pop-ups from This Site, or change Settings. The possible settings changes are to turn off Pop-up Blocker, enable/disable Show Information Bar for Pop-ups, or More Settings. Selecting More Settings will open the Pop-up Blocker Settings dialog box. It is recommended that you not make changes using these options. You should instead put the web site with the content into a Trusted zone, as described below.

Note: If you select Always Allow Pop-ups from This Site, the site is automatically added to the Allowed sites in the Pop-up Blocker Settings dialog box. You can access this dialog box from Tools menus in Internet Explorer.

Do It! Mode and Full Screen Topic Play
To allow See It! and Try It! modes to launch full-screen and for Do It! mode to stay on top, the Player must be accessed from a zone in which the Allow Script-initiated Windows Without Size or Position Constraints setting is enabled. In a default configuration of Internet Explorer, it is recommended you add the web site where the content is located to either the:

• Local intranet zone where the Allow Script-initiated Windows Without Size or Position Constraints setting is enabled by default
   
• Trusted sites zone and enable the Allow Script-initiated Windows Without Size or Position Constraints setting

If you do not add the web site to either of these zones, See It! and Try It! modes appear in browser windows, and scroll bars appear as necessary to allow the user to view the content. In addition, Do It! mode appears as a browser window and will not stay on top.

To add the web site to the Local intranet zone:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
    
2. On the Tools menu, choose Internet Options.
    
3. Click the Security tab.
    
4. Click the Local Intranet icon.
    
5. Click Sites.
    
6. Click Advanced.
    
7. In the Add this Web site to the zone field, enter the URL for the Player.
    
8. Deselect the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone option, if necessary.
    
9. Click Add.
    
10. Click Close.
     
11. Click OK to close the Local Intranet dialog box.
     
12. Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.

To add the web site as a Trusted site and enable the Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints setting:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
    
2. On the Tools menu, choose Internet Options.
    
3. Click the Security tab.
    
4. Click the Trusted sites icon.
    
5. Click Sites.
    
6. In the Add this Web site to the zone field, enter the URL for the Player.
    
7. Deselect the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone option, if necessary.
    
8. Click Add.
    
9. Click Close.
      
10. Click Custom Level.
     
11. Enable the Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints setting.
     
12. Click OK to close the Security Settings - Trusted Sites Zone dialog box.
     
13. Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.

The Player interface should now launch correctly. In addition, the play modes will not have title bars, status bars, or a window border, and the Do It! mode will launch.
