O.P. Huh?  Internet Explorer Script Error when MSN loads
Hello,

A day or so after i updated to v3.20 of messenger plus, i've been recieving an error when MSN loads. A screenshot of it is shown below.

I presume it has something to do with the ad hiding. The advert isnt showing up, it's just this error comes up every time i load MSN. Is there any way around this?

Thanks very much,
Frankiedaman

Thanx very much. Where would i find the hosts file? (However by adding this entry, would that mean i can't access the main MSN site tho?)

Thx again,

The hosts file is in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc"
And adding that entry doesnt mean that you wont be able to access the main site. Only rad.msn.com, which is msns ad-server

I've always had this issue after installing "Messenger Plus!" (on a clean windows installation).

So I think this is really MsgPlus related ;)

You do know how old this thread is yes? And it's got nothing to do with Plus!, as has already been shown.

If you have a problem similar to this, post in a new thread, with full details.

And then? I have this same issue, full stop. I think it's better to write here than opening a new, useless, thread. Isn't it?

Take the facts:
1) Fresh installation of Windows (XP, for example).
2) I install MSN Messenger 7 (every build).
3) I install Messenger Plus (every build for MSN Messenger 7).
4) ISSUE
5) I uninstall Messenger Plus --> no more ISSUE
6) Other people have this issue (like this thread confirms).

P.S.
Excuse me for my English but it isn't my native language :)

I guess it's just coincidence...

Do you use some kind of Firewall, Software/Router based?
What ServicePacks do you use, Do you have all updates released by Microsoft?

Do you have other browsers?

What about using A-Patch?
