121060 2003-02-13 23:43:00 Hello Again All,

I have recently "upgraded" or "bloated" outlook express to version 6 . Now the 'slide show' feature is on the Fritz .

An error window pops up stating "an error has occured in the script in this page"

It then goes on to list:

line (276), character (1), error type (syntax error), code (0), URL (mhtml:mid://00000005/)

and asks whether I want scripts to continue running on this page .

Below where the picture file would normally be displayed it tells me active scripting has to be enabled for the slide show to work, and it explains how to enable .

Heres the thing . . .

I never un-enabled active scripting and I've checked and it is still enabled so whats me problem?

Any help out there for this annoying little . . . well, you get my drift?

Cheers and thanks

Nathan

If you still want to enable it *I think* you need to go to Tools>Options>Security and change the setting to Internet Zone. If that is not the setting someone else will have more advice.
