ok, this happens to me all the time recently but i've ignored it many times, now its getting annoyed, how do i remove this pop up everytime i sign into Msn messenger? BTW i have live messenger and this pop up script wont ever go away, please help its irritating lol


here's the screenshot:

Try adding this line to your hosts file which is located it in: "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" (open it with notepad)

127.0.0.1 rad.msn.com

That should be a quick (and dirty) fix.

what Sun Java version are you using btw? if 1.5 uninstall an install 1.6,  fix's most issues up

^thanks but it wont open on notepad, can you tell me how to open it?

^^ than kyou soooo much, problem solved.


thanks to everyone who helped me on this thread, and fast replies i get xoxo

Do you have any patches installed like Mess Patch? Have you tried Repairing Messenger?

In your hosts file, do you have a line saying "127.0.0.1 localhost"?
If so, try commenting it/deleting it and see if it still happens...

i did all that and its still having the pop ups. what if i delete the host files?

sigh..... ANYONE?



cant anyone reply? its been so long and no one has the nerves to help, whats with this.

These script errors could either be caused by MSN Today / WLM Today or by the advertising banner.


To disable 'WLM Today' in Windows Live Messenger,
go to 'Tools' -> 'Options...' -> 'General' tab -> untick 'Show Windows Live Today after signing in to Messenger'



Also check your hosts file again and see if the line you added ("127.0.0.1 rad.msn.com") is still in there.


Disable Script Debugging in IE:
Open Control Panel -> 'Internet Options' -> 'Advanced' tab ->
  check 'Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)'
  check 'Disable Script Debugging (Others)'
  uncheck 'Display a notification about every script error'


If that didn't fix it, remove the advertisement banner at the bottom of Windows Live Messenger.
Use the Mess Patch and select 'Remove Advertisement Banner'
