IM on yahoo.messenger is unusable. All i get is a "script error" message repeatedly popping up.?

I have removed and reinstalled yahoo.messenger, windows xp, norton antivirus, spybot, lava, followed all suggested fixes from yahoo and microsoft; nothing works. Has anybody experience this and how did you fix it?

Update:

Is this something that Microsoft has done to sabatage Yahoo? Nothing suggested by Yahoo, Microsoft or any individual to date has done anything to correct the situation.

    get adaware SE because it will find stuff that spybot does not find. If that does not fix the problem you will need to get RFA (Registry First Aid) it will correct any registry errors(there will be registry errors as soon as you install windows and just so you know it will not let you screw up your computer) You can use my user name and Serial Number ( i dont usually do this) Name: BOBBY W LYNCH

    S/N: MFMMK4-N6L9AAHF-4THCLL96-NH9F3H7K-MFFHT9-R7PH. If that does not fix it then you can tell it no when it comes up and it will still let you use yahoo messenger. but that is how i fixed it so hope it helps you
