Using Xp.
In Outlook Express when I open my emails I get this message.
"An error has occured in the script on this page"
Any way to fix this??
Thanks

Nope. The sender is using scripts that are either not allowed, or are outdated. This usually happens when Outlook Express is run in the Restricted Sites Zone, where it belongs. This option is for your safety. You can change the option if you want to be more at risk from email that is rigged with hostile scripting embedded.

So I should reply with a "NO" when the window pops up?

It's optional Joe. Just because there is a script error in one piece of code that doesn't mean that other scripts will be misinterpreted. However, disallowing scripts in email makes you safer than allowing them, in case any of the scripts contain hostile code.
I recommend running Outlook Express in the Restricted Sites Zone, which disallows all "active scripting." This means that ActiveX and Jscript/JavaScript codes do not get interpreted when you open the email message to read it. If you are bothered by error messages look for a checkbox to not show those error messages again.
Turning off scripting in email does not usually interfere with text or displaying of links or rich text formatting.
