Does it come up even after you say "continue". I am sorry, i have IE6 and dont have higher version of IE, there should be an option on IE where you can add that site to your trusted sites and then it wont show you that option. Dont try to resolve this from QTP front.

Hi Basant,
I tried through IE settings. Here is the settings have used
Tools->Internet options->Security Tab->Trusted sites(Zone)->Click on "Sites" button->Type the App url(Ex: http://www-qa.razoo.com)in the text box->click on "Add" button->Close 'Close' and 'OK' buttons and Restarted browser and opened application.

But now i am getting popup windows errors, After i click YES button in popup window error again i am getting "Continue" error.

Friends, Can you please share your thoughts.
