[<Cha...@Al...>]

Thanks for the quick reply...

i'm confused.. isn't minidom under  _xmlplus? how would i uninstall 
_xmlplus then?
(i should mention i know nothing about python).
also, i checked and i have the latest version of python.
any more suggestions would be really helpful...

Thanks,
Chad

Probably nothing -- the backtrace shows that the error happens in 
_xmlplus package. That last call made by OpenVIP was "dom2.toxml()" 
and this is correct, so it looks there's some bug in that package. 
You may want to try to either uninstall it (OpenVIP doesn't need it, 
Python's buitin dom.minidom satisfies it) or upgrade to newest 
version.
