Spent three days dealing with this BS. This is the answer. http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/articles/SLN41780. Save your files to an outside drive, let this program fix your msxml and a host of other issues that will pop up and then restore your files. Super easy to do if you have the CD to install with. Oh and put your CD in BEFORE running this. Worked so fast I was furious I wasted three days. I do not know why intuit doesnt state this is the answer for msxml problems.
Thanks for the info, Pam. We changed our link to Intuit’s KB article to an article similar to the one you suggested. Glad you got it working.
