What program are you trying to open transcendence.xml with?
Looks like you are using a browser?...
Try using a simple text editor (notepad or wordpad) or an xml editor instead.

I have Windows XP, so I can only tell you how to do it with that:
1. right-click on an .xml file
2. pick 'Open with' from the menu
3. pick 'Choose program...' from the submenu
4. You'll get a window with a list of programs. Pick one. If the one that you want isn't listed, press 'Browse' and navigate to it.
5. Make sure 'Always use the selected progam to open this kind of file' is checked.

You can also change it in Tools->Folder Options->File Types too.

Now it's my turn to say 'What do you mean?'
How could you mess yourself up that way?

You can always change what you open a program with.

Goat_Not_sheep, I think there are a few characters in the XML that aren't in the accepted syntax for documents of that type. So, when you try to open the XML in Internet Explorer or another browser, it's going to throw fits at you. Anyway, you can't edit it from a browser like that.

Not actually related to this topic but `tis a modding error message.

Error message;
No binding for Symbol:gStation

I get this error when docking at my station, main screen. It's up there where the name of my station should be. There's also a weard chime sound everytime I access that screen.
Also, the "repair/replace armor screen works fine, my station name is there and I can access my cargo hold-but in the buy/sell screen, the station name is there as well but it displays both my hold and the store's hold as empty.
Anyone know what's causing this and how to correct it?

TIA!

No binding for Symbol:gStation means that gStation needs to be setq to something (most likely your station). If you show us the code we can tell use where and what to put to fix it.

Didn't I read that everything was using gSource in place of gStation now?

looks a lot like what I get when I try to open mod xml's in IE.. usually because they lack the entity references at the begining of the file.. but I think your problem is the # in &#0x96.. does it work if you take it out?
