Cannot view XML file in IE6

[Guest]

When I click on an XML file, Internet Explorer opens, but the page is blank
and there are no error messages. The page is just plain white.

My OS is Windows XP Professional SP2 with IE6 SP2. I have checked the
option in tools>internet options>advanced>allow active content to run in
files on My Computer. I have also checked the file association and it
showing as XML editor. I changed this to IE and this did not make a
difference, so I changed it back to the default. I have checked the settings
on another computer with the same OS, etc., and the settings match. Maybe I
need to reregister a .dll file?????

Any ideas on how to get the file to display in IE?
Thank you!

I'm having this same issue.
Have you been able to resolve this yet?

Post an example if you need help.

Here's one you may have.
Does your symptom happen with it?

<example>
%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\plug_ins\PictureTasks\OLS\Locale\ENU\description.xml
<example>

Notice the encoding in it?

<extract type="View Source">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
</extract>

Is your Encoding set to Auto-Select?
Is it picking Unicode?
(Keystrokes: Alt-V,d)
