How can I get rid of the Message History error when closing a conversation window?

Getting tired of receiving error messages when closing a conversation window? Errors telling you that "An error occurred loading the message history" and "An invalid character was found in text content. Line: x. Position: y (Do you want to try again?)".

An error occurred loading the message history. An invalid character was found in text content on line x and position y.

These errors are generated by special characters, usually inserted during conversations with Messenger Plus! users or certain emoticons, and can continue to block succesful logging of your chats into the built-in Message History.

ScanXMLLogs by Jonathan Kay works with both MSN Messenger 6.2 and MSN Messenger 7 (beta), and will automatically scan and correct your Messenger XML logs in the background to save you from these dreadful errors. ScanXMLLogs can automatically start scanning and start in the notification area when you start the application complete with a full log and statistics so you can see exactly what it is and isn't modifying.

>> Download ScanXMLLogs.
