I keep getting the following when I open Messenger:
The "title" is Internet Explorer Script Error

Line: 1
Char: 207
Error: Unterminated String Constant
Code: 0

Url:
http://rad.msn.com/ADSAdClient31.dll?GetAd?PG=1MSCB2?SC=HF?ID=0003400180491956

I have been unable to get rid of this. I've considered uninstalling IE and
reinstalling, but I can't figure out how to do that.

How do you get there? Here is the source associated with just the above URL:

<example>
<!--NOAD--><img src="http://global.msads.net/defaultads/ads/defaultads/HF.gif?C=P&E=10&N=D04"/>
</example>


In case it is not a publicly accessible site you could try using View Source
and attaching it in an E-mail reply to me.

Alternatively you could get better clues for yourself from the same
View Source. E.g. in XP's Notepad turn off WordWrap, turn on its
Status bar and Go to line 1, Char 207. (E.g. press Alt-o,W Alt-,V,S
and press End on the first line.)

If pressing End takes you beyond column 207 your symptom would
most likely indicate a coding error in the page and in that case there
would be nothing for you do than notify the content provider, assuming
that they aren't already aware of their problem.

More likely pressing End would take you to exactly column 207 and
the remainder of the code would follow on the second line,
interrupted by an unplanned line break or even worse, apparently
missing content to the end of the line. That would indicate a possible
transport error which could have several causes, one of which might be
incorrect MTU size. Etc.

Well, after almost two weeks of the message popping up every time I opened
IM, it now has stopped. This is probably a good thing since I'm not sure I
really followed the reply to my original message. Technical, I'm really not.

Thanks a lot, though.
