Hi experts,
I'm facing problem to view MSN's logged XML history file that I transfer from another computer.
I have a laptop and a desktop, both using MSN messenger and both register the same person. Hence I ended up with 2 logged history XML files on both machine.
I'd like to view both on the same machine (i copied one over to the same machine) and concatenate them together, but I failed to open them with other tools/programmes like IE6, Words 2003, FrontPage 2003, etc ...
When openning with IE6, i ended up with this ERROR msg :
==========================
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
--------------------------
The system cannot locate the resource specified. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/schong/Desktop/Me
==========================
When openning with Words 2003, it became NON-formatted, hence looks very ugly and pretty unreadable (and all the mandarin words I typed are unreadable)
Same thing happened when i used FrontPage2003.
(1) Can experts pls advise me on what should I do in order to view the copied XML file ? and so that I can view & copy & paste & safe (including the mandarin words) ?
(2) Any 3rd party software that I can use for this purpose ?
thanks !!! :)

MSN install this file "MessageLog.xsl" with the chat...but maybe it didn't in your case...copy the contents and save the file as MessageLog.xsl and when you want to view the CHAT Scripts...make sure that the chat XML and this XSL are in the same directory...
I'm posting the XSL file
