    First I have to say kudos to MS for Windows Live Writer. It is absolutely fantastic and has rescued me from Typepad's horribly buggy "upgraded" platform.

    I have encountered one little glitch, though. When I Preview my blog post and then go back to Edit mode, I get this error message:

    A Runtime error has occurred.
    Do you wish to Debug?
    Line: 52
    Error: Object required
    Yes/No

    The message actually comes up three times, and after hitting "No" each time I can continue working. It happens every time I preview but there don't seem to be any after-effects.

    I'm guessing this has something do with with the flash elements on my blog since none of them show up in the preview. 

    The address of my blog is: http://philosophia.typepad.com/bookworm/.

    If this could be fixed that would save me a little clicking. But WLW is so awesome and already saves me so much trouble that I'm happy as is. Well done Microsoft!!!

    That is indeed the newest version.  Though, what I was thinking of might be slightly different... but try this:

    Can you open Inernet Explorer.  Then go to Tools > Inernet Options > Advanced Tab > Under the Browsing Category make sure 'Disable script debugging (Inernet Explorer)' is checked.  You might have to restart IE and WLW for the option to take effect.

    That worked! Actually it was the "Disable script debugging (Other)" that I had to check (perhaps because I'm using Firefox–sorry!), and now it's working fine. Thanks so much! I <heart> WLW!

    This should have been fixed in our newest version?  What version are you using?  Help | About will tell you the version number.

    It says Build 14.0.8050.1202 en. I checked for updates and it says I have the latest version. I'm on XP SP3.
