PDS Online - When I try to launch an online training, I cannot launch. What should I do? How do I disable pop-up blocker?

     Google Chrome prevents pop-ups from automatically appearing and cluttering your screen. Whenever the browser blocks pop-ups for a site, the   icon appears in the address bar. Click the icon to see the pop-ups that have been blocked or to manage pop-up settings for the site.

To see blocked pop-ups for a site, follow the steps listed below:

1.    If pop-ups have been blocked, you'll see the   icon in the address bar. Click the  icon to see a list of the blocked pop-ups.
2.    Click the link for the pop-up window that you'd like to see.
3.    To always see pop-ups for the site, select "Always show pop-ups from [site]." The site will be added to the exceptions list, which you can manage in the Content Settings dialog.

To manually allow pop-ups from a site, follow the steps below:

1.    Click the Chrome menu   on the browser toolbar.
2.    Select Settings.
3.    Click Show advanced settings.
4.    in the "Privacy" section, click the Content settings button.
5.    In the "Pop-ups" section, click Manage exceptions.

Allow all pop-ups

You can allow all pop-ups by disabling the pop-up blocker. Follow these steps:

2.    Select Settings.
3.    Click Show advanced settings.
4.    in the "Privacy" section, click the Content settings button.

Pop-up blocker settings

To access the pop-up blocker settings:

In the content panel:
