Wesley: YES, there are slashes ("\") in the PATH variable. My path was
fairly long:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\oracle\reports\bin;C:\oracle\reports9i\bin;C:\Program
Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.8\bin;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files\Dell\SysMgt\RAC


Nass: The installed version of MSXML is 4, sp2 from Windows Update KB927978.
The installed MSXML Parser is version 6.

Jay,

did you ever get an answer to this. I suddenly got the same exact
problem you have. It was after I reinstalled a clean install of XP
and SP2. I had the exact same install on exactly the same machine
before the reinstall. Previous install had become unstable after
about 9 months of use, so I was reinstalling.

Thanks,
