When I tried to open the Microsoft Fix it Center report in one of my test systems, I across this little annoyance.
Microsoft Fix it Center stores the diagnostic results that you run, in a file named ResultReport.xml and displays results in its own window when you click the View report details link. Instead, the File Download window pops up and prompts to open or save the XML file. Selecting Open opens the file using Internet Explorer.
This means that the XML registration in that system is broken. And the fix is simple!
Open an elevated Command Prompt window. To do so, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
Type the following command and press {ENTER}
You get the output "DllRegisterServer in C:\Windows\System32\msxml3.dll succeeded."
Close and re-open the Microsoft Fix it Center to see if the problem is fixed.
If that doesn’t help, run the .XML file association fix from the following link:
(XML file association fixes for: Windows Vista | Windows 7)
