Script error in HP Photo Creations.

Question

I received an error message when starting HP Photo Creation program:

Script error
An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 183
Char: 4
Error: Invalid operand to 'in': Object expected
Code: 0

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

There is a reg file you can create and launch to fix this issue. Open Notepad and paste the following code. Go to File > Save as and type FIX_HP as name, then select the file type to All. Add .REG after the file name and merge the REG file. Reboot the PC and the error should disappear.
