By "the window that pops up," I take it you're referring to the Captcha security window. This is a persistent problem encountered by some Craigslist users, and I'm sorry for your difficulty. Sometimes refreshing the page might solve the issue. (Use a full refresh, often called by Ctrl-F5.) Or you could try relaxing your security settings to allow all scripts.

Otherwise, my best suggestions are as follow:

Switch browsers. If you're using Internet Explorer, switching to Mozilla Firefox, for example, or Google Chrome, might do the trick.

--or--
Adjust your Internet Explorer settings. In IE 8, follow these steps:
1. Click on “Tools,” and then “Internet Options” from the Internet Explorer menu.
2. Select the “Security” tab.
3. Click the “Custom level” button.
4. Under the “Miscellaneous” section, locate the “Display mixed content” sub-section.
5. Select the “Enable” option, and then “OK.”
6. Click on “Yes” to approve your settings change.
