    I got similar problem. I've set the security to medium, added MSN Messenger to my firewall exception (Btw, my OS is Win XP SP2), and turned off my MS Antispyware, but still no luck.

    Anyone got a clue why is this happening

    Next time try Math Pastebin, that should always start... I don't think a 500 Kb program will be too heavy for a server with 510 Gb datatransfer / month

    just tryed it, still the same error

    This sounds like a Browser settings problem. Can you run any of the Activities listed on the Activities or Games menus

        I think I know what is happening: It seems that your security settings are not allowing JavaScript. Try setting your security settings on the Internet to "Medium" and try again. Do not go below "Medium".

         Of course, this posting has been posted "AS IS".
