 * I have version 1.0.7 installed and the plugin is broken. I am getting a fatal
   error:
 * Warning: require_once(mscr/Utils.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open
   stream: No such file or directory in /wp-content/plugins/mute-screamer/mute-screamer.
   php on line 42
 * Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘mscr/
   Utils.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php:/usr/lib/
   php:/usr/local/lib/php:’) in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/mute-screamer/mute-
   screamer.php on line 42
 * I tried uninstalling the and reinstalling Mute Screamer but it wouldn’t activate,
   I got the same error.

 * It looks like the set_include_path() line isnt appending the correct location
   for this plugin on your end. I assume the /mscr/libraries directory exists inside
   this plugins directory? Its like your word press is configuered differently. 
   You can always go into the file and just hard code the location of Utils.php 
   and that will solve it instantly
