XML Parser does get itself into trouble every so often,
especially if you've had to add/remove programs that use
its services. Sometimes shared components get pooched
during an app un-install.

You can try doing a repair on it through add/remove programs:
MSXML Parser 6.0 offers a detect and repair option.

If you find that the parser is not installed: Microsoft
KB933579, KB936181, KB954430 should lead you to the Parser
and XML sutff.

Repaired but but not working
I found 79 MSXML packages for download available @ms but I am afraid it would lead me further from home if I install them . . .

I see MSXML 3 times appearing in add/remove programs:
MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB936181), MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB941833) and MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB954430)
No idea which other programs on my pc uses this MSXML otherwise i could check if more programs have problems. PEP2 might be the only one . . .

Find MSXML4.dll on your hard drive. Open a command prompt
to that directory and enter the following:

regsvr32 MSXML4.dll


To reregister.

There were also some issues earlier for some using LargeFonts
settings or something like that. Something about the
software only liking 96dpi. This could have some affect
as a different character set other than 'Symbol' might
be selected for large fonts.

Re-registering didn't solve the problem.
DPI setting was already set to 96

Does the problem happen when you create a new config from scratch?

The Philips Pronto team didn't respond at all on my email regarding this problem within a month.
I reinstalled Vista and the problem is gone. But I don't like the idea PEP2 can get unrecoverable corrupted due external influences. I have decided to switch back to PEPv1.1
Another reason for downgrading is the "Prontodataservice" which can consume hundreds of megabytes after a few hours of use. Very bad design to start this as system service.
But I really liked the resizing of buttons and images . . .

My system gets real sluggish if I'm developing and debugging for long periods of time. I have to stop and restart the service. They should have it dynamically start only when the PEP software is running as it is a resource hog with a bad memory leak problem!!

I suggested this to the Pronto team immediately after release of PEP2 and my idea would be sent to the develop team.
But ofcoarse they knew about this effect at develop stage so if they still decide to do it this way I don't have much trust they will change it. I guess they assume every PEP2 user has a dedicated PEP2-only pc . . .
