i have been useing pokertracker fine for days and when i try to start load it up it says unable to open file to convert xml text to and it will not let me close the window what this all about
Are you using Windows Vista? If so were you always running all poker programs as administrator? See here: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1378
If that's not the problem then iPoker must have the hand history file locked somehow. You should try to delete the .xml file manually using a Windows Explorer window.
