Error loading XML


Question

I have been using Arcsoft Photoimpression 6 for many years. I got it on a disc with an old printer I bought years ago, but it is very simple and I love it. Anyway the past few months when I click on the icon on the desktop to open the program I get  ERROR LOADING XML.  Then underneath that I get the following.  Error oxccoce502 on line 1, position 26.  Reason:  A string lateral was expected, but no opening quote character was found.   If I click on OK, the program does open, but I have had issues with it. The program is  on my main computer running Windows 10., but I also installed it on two other computers at home here, also running Windows 10. and it runs great. I never get that message when opening the program on those two other computers. I have tried removing the program from my computer, and then running CCleaner to remove all traces of the program, and then I reinstalled. I have done this at least four times, and I continue to get the same error message. I have tried using the Photo program that is included with Windows 10. I even have a copy of Paint Shop Pro, but that is way to complex for me. Photo Impression 6 has been discontinued many years ago, so I can't even buy another disc. But Like I said earlier, I have a disc with the program on from when I bought an Epson printer many years ago. Any suggestions ??  I really like that program. Now I find myself copying the pictures I want to edit or print to one of the other computers so I can use Photo Impression 6, but that is stupid. Arcsoft replaced Photo Impression 6 with another program. I downloaded a trial version of it, but do not like it. Suggestions please.  Thanks,  Mike

Are there any config.xml or settings.xml type files inside the applications directory structure? If so, pop them open with Notepad++, and using the XML Tools plug-in for N++ run the "Check XML syntax now" feature. It'll throw up any formatting issues (non-terminated comments are the usual kind of thing to trip apps up) 

 

The top of every .XML file should also have something like 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

 

If there aren't any config files in the directory or sub-directories of your application, then they might be in the Windows folders. You can use something like this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 to see what files are being accessed when the application loads.

    • Apple iOS 26 beta has a hidden iPhone ringtone by Aditya Tiwari If you're waiting for a new iPhone ringtone to attend your calls, Apple might be baking something for this year. The recently announced iOS 26 update hides a new ringtone for iPhone, discovered in the source code of its first developer beta. Details about the new iPhone ringtone called "ReflectionAlt1-EncoreRemix" were posted on the social media platform X by @8810cfw. It was later re-shared by known Apple leaker @ShrimpApplePro and confirmed by @aaronp613. Looking back a few pages in tech history, Apple's ringtone journey began with the first iPhone in 2007. The Cupertino giant included the classic Marimba ringtone as default, which became a signature for Apple fans. Since then, Apple has continued to release new ringtones and system sounds over the years. However, it exerted more control over iPhone ringtones during the initial years. In addition to the ringtones preloaded on iPhones, Apple also allows users to buy new ringtones from the iTunes Store app. Users can also create their own custom ringtones from an audio file or a song from Apple Music using the GarageBand app. Not just Apple, tech companies have long used ringtones as a way to differentiate their devices from the rest. This includes the fallen warrior, Nokia, and newer competitors like the Google Pixel, which got a new Sound Matters collection last year. The unreleased iPhone ringtone isn't directly available to users in the Settings app as part of the developer beta. It's an alternative version of the Reflection ringtone that has been present on iPhones as the default since 2017. While it's being speculated that the ringtone could be exclusive to this year's iPhone 17 series, it's unclear if Apple will include it in upcoming iOS 26 beta releases. Apple will release the iOS 26 update later this year, featuring a range of new features, including a revamped Photos app, new iPhone wallpapers, and the Vista-like Liquid Glass design. Its public beta is expected to arrive sometime during the next month.
    • This article is about the start menu not the start button
    • This is why I wasn't really annoyed with Windows 8's full screen Start. Since Vista I launch programs by quickly pressing the WIN key and typing first few letters of whatever it is I need. Honestly, my personal equivalent of the Start menu is the WIN+X menu - it truly contains some useful things I do not feel like typing into Search.
    • No and no. Didn't read the article but my take is they should remove the start menu altogether and replace it with Powertoys Run
