Line b problem parsing xml: 'null'?

Question

hi every time i open up ie i get this message (Line b problem parsing xml: 'null') is anyone else getting it how can i fix this ? thanks in advance

Answer 1

My ISP told me to go to settings or Tools -then to Internet options - delete files / history/ cookies ( remember to take note of saved account numbers etc as this will delete them from your computer and will need to be re entered when logging in to internet banking etc) then click OK. Next go to settings and check newer version of stored pages every visit to page then click OK. It worked for me Good Luck

Answer 2

I got the same "line b parsing" message too! It started last night with me. The thing is, I have two computers and one runs on Windows Vista while the other runs on Windows XP...and guess what??!! Both have AT&T Yahoo as my home page (without me being logged in help me feel safer even though all that has changed now), but only the computer that runs on Vista gets hit with this "null" message, and I haven't even logged into my AT&T Yahoo account yet! This means that the possible solution that John M mentioned won't work. I've tried it even after I logged in. I'm in Ohio. I wonder if this might have anything to do with Microsoft wanting to own Yahoo, or maybe the government spy program that shouldn't be legal. Oh and by the way, deleteing all of your temp files and browser history doesn't work. I've tried it to no avail. Anti-spy, Anti-virus, even if you have software that scans for errors and repairs them for you... none of them will find anything on you computer related to the "line b parsing" error message. From what I can tell from reading other postings about this nasty little bug, the sorce of the problem is coming from AT&T Yahoo themselves. You are not the problem, and there is nothing wrong with your computer! I guess the only thig you can do to stop the problem on your end is to simply choose another home page not related to yahoo. I hope this helps.

So i am not alone, i thouight it was my computer at first. Good to know that this is a Yahoo! issue and not something with my computer, i hope it will be resolved soon.



Was it really bad for anyone earlier? After i quit I.E this morning i got a lot of odd error pop-ups...Now i am just getting this message when i open my I.E AT&T Yahoo! homepage.



Edit: I deleted all temp internet files and cookies, i still get the message.....

Answer 4

I have checked with AT&T, DELL, MY BROTHER THE "I.T." GUY. I have two laptops on my table. One has vista, the other xp. From every computer I've been on since Friday morning, the yahoo homepage displays that message. Change the homepage to ANY other webpage and it won't happen. I have been waiting for the postings myself to see if anyone knew anything. It has nothing to do with anything you could have done, no add-ons, no software, no spyware. AT&T just has to catch up. The customer service rep asked if I could explain what parsing is and maybe he could help. I have never heard something so stupid. I am waiting for the website to "heal thyself". Good Luck to us all!

I got the same problem, I deleted all files and cookis, diod not work. Cleaned up the disk, did not work. De fragmented, did not work. Ran Norton antyspyware, did not work. I think this is a ATT/Yahoo problem that needs to be adressed by them, I believe theres something sinister going on here. I tried contacting the ATT/Yahoo tech support via normal avenues and could not even get connected when entered my ID and domain, what,s going on here, Yahoo and ATT ?????

Answer 6

Yes I've just started getting the same error message. It started yesterday 21 Feb. I'm using Vista (XP's better - by the way)

Had just downloaded aim update and got the new games and chat. Then I started receiving that message. Just deleted all and now the problem is gone. Hope this helps. It might be something you recently downloaded. Try and see if this does any good.

Yep, I'm getting it as well. It's weird because it just started happening all the sudden yesterday. I'm just glad I'm not the only one having this problem.
