Hi

When I run Windows Live Messenger I get a run time error message - Line 1 Error 'a' is null or not an object.

Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this would be much appreciated.  I have uninstalled live messenger - the error message goes.  When I reinstall it is back again.

Thanks in advance for any help.

That error comes from a script running in the advertisement space on your contact list.

There is not much you can do about it except for not moving your mouse over the advertisement, or blocking the advertisements all together (you can do this by adding rad.msn.com en t.msn.com (iirc) to your Windows hosts file).

In any case, I would report it to Microsoft as this kind of error seems to happen regulary and is indeed very very annoying. B ut when you report it, make sure you take a screenshot of the advertising on your contact list. http://support.live.com/

Hi

Many thanks for your reply and for the information.  I will certainly report it to Microsoft.
