WLM Built 14.0.8050.1202 runtime error

When I try to open Windows Live Messenger 2009 Built 14.0.8050.1202 I get a
Runtime Error and a box which
asks me if I want to debug the script:

"Line: 0
Error: 'a' is null or not an object"

Any suggestions how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance.
Andrea

Greetings Andrea,

This is coming from the advertisement window or the Live Today screen (if you have it
enabled).

Unfortunately figuring these problems out can be difficult here on the newsgroup. However,
as a starting point you should clear out IE's cookies and cache. To do so, open up Internet
Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options and under the Browsing history
category, choose the Delete button. Then choose both Delete files and Delete cookies
buttons. If you're using something prior to IE7 or IE8, the procedure will be a bit
different, but it's all within that dialog but if you need assistance, feel free to post
back.

Then finally reset IE's settings by going over to the Security tab in the same Internet
Options window, choosing the Internet zone and then Default level (if it's not grayed out).
Then head over to the Privacy tab, and choose the Default button (again, if not grayed out).

Then restart Messenger and see if the problem still exists.

The advertisement Live Today was disabled and the Security settings for the
IE were on default. Cleared the browsing history and the cookies and
enabled/disabled the Live Today advertisement window. This solved the
problem.
Thanks for the Information Jonathan.

Regards
Andrea
