xml parsing problems?

When the text messages pop up (like in a conversation or looking at details when buying weapons) I keep getting the xml code and it's not being parsed. Something in the order of <?xml= .... >Text message.... </xml?> Is anyone seeing this wee bit of oddity?

Try installing this XML interprenter for your language version here.

I had the exact same XML issue that you are having. Is very wierd so I dediced I would try a clean reinstall of XP. Unfortunately, now the XML code showing issue is gone and has been replaced by huge oversized text in the menu fields.

I will try the parser tonight and see if there are any improvements.

The XML parser was the first thing I tried and didn't work. Then I realized I've installed it before long ago and there's this little blurb at the bottom of the page about it. Seems like it's not compatible with the old XML parser and the two lines that I typed below fixed it! Thanks for all the help!

Excerp from the page:
Important notice: You must read this if you previously installed the April 2001 Technical Preview of MSXML 4.0. Because version-independent ProgIDs existed in the April release, but have been removed from MSXML 4.0, installing this release will make them non-functional. To avoid this, run the following two commands from the command line before installing this release.

regsvr32 /u msxml4.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
