Vista - An error after open Windows Live Messenger

every time when I open Windows Live Messenger (WLM) It appear a window and
says:
"An error has occurred in the script on this page.

Line: 1
Char: 30276
Error: 'a' is null or not an objetct
Code: 0
URL: http://tk2.stj.s-msn.com/br/tdy/js/24/en-us.js


Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

Yes No"

I contact help from Gateway and tell me to unninstalled WLM but I'm not so
sure to do that I have some features that I download from a few websites I
don't want to loose that. Somebody know what this error means and help me
please. Is this for my computer or what.
I have VISTA and Internet Explorer 8. please

Greetings,

Messenger loads a variety of web pages using an integrated Internet Explorer control. If
something is blocking JavaScript within IE windows (as a "security feature") or an error is
being encountered in the JavaScript code itself (for instance, some of the advertisements in
Messenger occasionally cause difficulties), you will receive a message like this.

Unfortunately actually locating what's causing this is a rather complicated process which is
nearly impossible to deal with over the phone or here on the newsgroup. That said, this
message is harmless and simply choosing No should allow things to continue.

Yes but you must have it enabled by clicking on the icon on the right hand
side of the paintbrush and then selecting and ticking 'show the menu bar'
Once you have done that then right at the top of the messenger window should
be the following choices, File,Contact,Actions,Tools and Help. (Above your
picture.) Now click in Tools and then Options, then choose the second choice
of Layout. The top choice is General and in that just untick Show the what's
new list. Then click on Apply at the bottom of this window and then OK.

You are missing out the LAYOUT choice which is under personal. Click on
Layout, then you will see GENERAL at the top of the choices and three
seperate choices in that, Show the tab bar, Show favourites and Show the
what's new list. Untick the show the what's new list. All these settings are
in Layout.
