Known Issues

Popup Blockers
Most third party search and toolbars (like the Yahoo and Google Search Bars) contain popup blockers. Popup blockers disrupt Backus Online by not allowing the portal to launch the application you choose. These must be disabled for the Backus Online site. Documentation is available for this upon request.
Security Suites (Zone Alarm and others)
Some Security Suites block Backus Online from making the necessary registry and user setting changes required for Backus Online to work correctly. These should be disabled before attempting to use Backus Online for the first time.
