Trouble opening popup in IE on Windows XP

I have a Flash Application which needs to be in a window that has a size of 1024 x 768, so I've included a javascript to set the popup's size to those dimensions. However, when I try to open the HTML page that has the javascript on a Windows XP computer, the popup window's dimensions aren't changing to those settings.
I forgot to check to see what version of IE this computer has, but I think it is the default version that comes with XP. I used the following lines of code to open the window:

windowW=1024;
windowH=768;
s = "width="+windowW+",height="+windowH;//+",scroll=0";
var isIE = document.all?true:false
if (isIE) {
NW = window.open("","popFrameless",s)
NW.blur();
window.focus();
NW.resizeTo(windowW,windowH)
} else {
NW = window.open("myFile.html", "popFrameless","scrollbars,"+s)
NW.blur();
NW.resizeTo(windowW, windowH)
}

Is there a different way to open a popup to a specific size in XP?

Your script seems a little complicated for what you want to do. How are you opening this window? With a link?

I have my code running in the onLoad event of another html page.

Do you realize this code will not reliably detect only MSIE and can mess up tabbed browsers such as Opera and Avant Browser?

I don't know if this is for intranet or internet, but that might be an issue for you. Also, MSIE 7 will have tabs. Just FYI. ;)
