A box opens when i click the SL shortcut on my desktop. "MissingString(MBAApplicationErrorDetails"

[eryn Shinn]

Can someone help? the box still appears when i start SL from its folder in Programs. Yes it is still the same pop up message if i try to start from the SL folder

It sounds as if your viewer may have been mangled when it was downloaded, or maybe the installation went bad.  Try again, but first remove all traces of the current installation so that the new one isn't corrupted by whatever is there now.  Here's how >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/How-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-Second-Life/ta-p/1375231

Hey Eryn,

You got yourself a nice Javascript error from the look of that message. OKies try using the icon in the SecondLife Folder in your Application list on the Start Menu. Do you get the same error? Let us know as follows:

Select the Options drop-down menu to the right of your question and select Edit Question.

Eek! Javascript! I was given a link yesterday to a potential security exploit with Java, and that recommended that Java be disabled in your browser until a fix is developed. I don't know anything about Java...does this mean SL won't work?

Java is not the same language as Javascript, despite similarities.

The notice by the Homeland Security was so over blown - Geese - You'd have to go to a website that was infected with this exploit - What BS

and it was just wrong as well - Java Script is embedded in the operating system - it is NOT the same at JAVA. Java is a add-on to the OS and usually used as an application language. Javascript can;t really be turned off without killing so much OS and Browser functroinality.
