Please be assured that Yahoo! is aware of an issue with Messenger where users receive one or more script error messages when attempting to use Yahoo! Messenger.

After researching this issue, I have discovered that this appears to happen on systems that do not have the latest browser and scripting components provided through Microsoft software updates. To resolve this issue, please make sure you have the following applications installed:

Microsystems Java

Adobe Macromedia Flash Player 9

Adobe Macromedia Shockwave Player

Windows Scripting Package

Look for "Windows Script 5.6" for your Operating System and follow the instructions for installing this file.

Internet Explorer 6 SP1

NOTE: If you're running a different version of Internet Explorer, please make sure you have the latest Service Pack for that version.

You should also visit Windows Update, a Microsoft site that checks your computer for updates and patches to correct related to your operating system and web browser components.

Please let me know if you continue to have the same issues with Yahoo! Messenger after performing the suggested updates above. If you receive any error messages, please be sure to include the exact message in your reply.
