What are these pop UPS that want to store info on my computer? Are they necessary to run the video or game I am trying to play? Usually i can close them but not always, so what are they?What pop ups? You need to explain in DETAIL what you're talking about - remember, we can't see your computer.There are pop up boxes that show up on the face of my (usually a video ) that request permission to store info on my system It is a square box that I can not copy so this is a rough IDEA of what it looks LIKE:

If you're playing a game and it's trying to save your data (eg. what level you're on, what's in your inventory, etc.), then you should allow it.Thanks Allen, links explained a LOT
