Has anyone else tried the File Sharing Application? When I try it, I get a
script error.

Internet Explorer Script Error
An error has occurred on the script on this page.
Line: 9
Char: 2
Error: Unable to create the Shared or(and) Download directory
Code: 0
URL: http://appdirectory.messenger.msn.com/AppDirectory/P4Apps
/FileSharing/en/fileSharingCtrl.htm

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? YES NO

It does not matter what I select, it stays on "Waiting for user to connect"
I never have any script errors when using IE normally. Is there something
that needs to be setup for this function to work?

Thanks

A little more info. When I attempt to use File Sharing, it creates a few
folders.
I get a folder called "MSN File Sharing" in the "My Documents" folder -
inside that I get a folder with my email address - inside that it makes a
folder called "My Shared Files" and that is all. The person I am trying to
connect to also has a folder call "My Downloaded Files" inside thier email
address folder. They also get a folder with my email address inside the "My
Downloaded Files" folder. Mine did not create those folders for some reason,
I guess that is the reason for the script error. I created them manually (My
Downloaded Files folder and thier email address folder in that), but I still
get the script error. This is not making sense. I did a repair of MSN
Messenger, but still the same.

Any help with this?
