I need to have popups enabled in order to access a website I need for work. According to the Google Chrome help - I need to click the wrench, click options then go from there. However when I click 'options' nothing happens!

Anyone got any ideas how I can allow popups on Google Chrome?

TIA

Are the windows for print and options being hidden behind Chrome's main window? If you can exit from Chrome then the answer to that is no; alternatively if you are using Windows try Alt-Tab to access all open windows.

If they are not appearing at all then I can only suggest re-installing Chrome.

Tools>Options

then the Under The Bonnet tab

at the top is Privacy, click on Content Settings... and the 5th one down in the list is for pop-ups

Thanks - but when I click options, nothing happens. I don't get any options. Is there another way?
So when you click on Options you don't get this: http://tinyurl.com/67stj9m ?

No - I don't get that. It is just as if I have not clicked anything. All the other things get me somewhere - if I click Print I get a print menu and if I click Find I get a search bar but nothing on options. - its really frustrating

Thank you, thank you, thank you Bibblebub - that worked.
You can close Chrome even with the options window open and hidden (the window is not modal).
However, as bibblebub says, the most likely answer is that the window is behind the main Chrome window. One way to achieve this would be if you double-clicked on options rather than single-clicking (the first click opens the options window, the second click returns focus to the main window and brings it in front of the options window). Double-clicking Print does not have the same effect, because the Print dialog is a Windows dialog, whereas the options window is woned by Chrome.
glad you got it sorted minniemax
