[Kenny S]

I am trying to use yahoo launchcast radio, from yahoo messenger or the
launch cast site
but IE6 (xp sp2) gives me the error like this one this person has:

I have disble script debugging from the IE advanced settings.

Any ideas?

Hi Kenny,

A line 1, character 1 error - ick.

Have you disabled all three script options in IE tools, internet options,
advanced - disable script debugging (IE and Other) and also notification
about every script error?

You can try updating your scripting engine. The latest scripting engine can
be found at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/libr­ary/default.asp?url=/downloads­/list/web...

(98, ME, NT4.0) For 2000 and XP go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downl­oads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c71­7d943-7e4...

Both you links are wrong, they dont work.

However I did find the script engine, but is not this included in SP2 For
XP?
..

 

[Kenny S]

Ok we tried installing the scripting engine 5.6 for xp, but it didnt fix.

We have the same error.

Have you gone through the "Browser Issues" section of their help site?
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/launch/connections/index.html

 

[Kenny S]

Yes. I did everything.

The same thing happens.....

Hi Kenny,

Thought you ran Linux. ) Either way.....

Debug the script and send it to them. This is on them (poor programming).
Have you tried to view the script?

[RonD]

if you did "everything", why would you expect any
additional advice here

 

[Kenny S]

I did everything the yahoo support page said. I am looking for further
assistance.

 

[Kenny S]

I have linux also but we all know no one can really work on linux

If the script was really the problem wouldnt everyone having the same IE on
XPSP2
have the same error? Well they dont! Only this computer has this problem.

This is a line 1 character 1 code error... this means that IE doesnt have
the chance to run any script!

Its an IE problem... but what is it?

 

[Kenny S]

The problem was with media player

we downloaded and installed
wndows media player 10 again
the windows media codecs pack 9

from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp?displang=en

and these codecs
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/codecs/vcm.aspx

and restarted the PC

and the problem was fixed!

 

[S.Sengupta]

But what was the exact problem?

[Jon Kennedy]

So, the answer was on
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/launch/connections/index.html
after all - just in the Connection section, not in the Browser section......

 

[Kelly]

I hear you, Kenny per the former. As for the latter, dunno. That is why
you cross posted. Good luck with the experts. )

Hey there Kelly lady,

Yahoo Radio uses Flash, in fact it requires version 6 or later to run. If
so, it might be worth updating/reinstalling Macromedia Flash player.

Kenny, you can contact Yahoo customer care via this URL
