Some have reported that simply re-registering the MSXML3.DLL seems to fix the
problem.
1. Click Start.
2. Choose Run.
3. In the Run box, type: regsvr32 MSXML3.DLL
Press okay

Thank you. That worked. Is there a cause-and-effect (affect?) that I should
be aware of?

Just put it down to a glitch in the system, hopefully you won't have the problem
again.

Hey and thx for the response...
The steps that is described below didnt help, this is what fixed it for me:
1) Controlpanel
2) Remove/add programs
3) Windows components
4) Run the program without marking anything

After these steps I didn't have the problem anymore, and it was these steps
that helped, I tried everything else
