Problem with XML file association.

Hi all,

I have been having problems running my accounts software (QuickBooks 2006
Regular) on Vista. Having visited the Intuit forums, I reinstalled the
program as advised but the problem still remains so I think that perhaps it
is an issue with Vista instead.

It brings up a dialog box that says "c:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks
Regular\Components\Sales Tax\SalesTax2523.xml" as the title and "This file
does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create
an association in the Set Associations control panel."

I've looked in Control Panel ---> Default Programs on Vista and XML files
don't seem to be associated with any program at all.

Does anybody know what program XML files should be associated with or is it
something that would be set by third party software when it is installed?

Many thanks!

Ali
