Error loading Windows Library msxml3.dll

Christine, when you install software that uses the msxml3.dll dependency, the software should automatically register the file for you. In some cases your DLL file may not register properly, and as a result, will provide a "msxml3.dll not registered" error. Fortunately, you can use a built-in utility called "Microsoft Register Server" (regsvr32.exe) to re-register your msxml3.dll file.
How to re-register msxml3.dll from an elevated command prompt (Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8):
Click the Start button.
Type "command" in the search box… DO NOT hit ENTER yet!
While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER.
You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
Click Yes.
Type the following command: regsvr32 /u msxml3.dll.
Hit ENTER. This will UN-REGISTER your file.
Type the following command: regsvr32 /i msxml3.dll.
Hit ENTER. This will RE-REGISTER your file.
Close the command prompt window.
Re-start the program associated with msxml3.dll error.

Thank you for you time. FYI the direct link is How to Fix the "MSXML3.DLL" Error

I ran register msxml3.dll and returned a successful message.  Restarted computer and tried AVG TuneUp > Increase performance 3 recommendations. Still received error message.

Then I ran sfc /scannow and received message Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.  Restated computer ran AVG TuneUp > Increase performance - 3 recommendations - received error message about msxml3.dll

I uninstall Tune Up and reinstalled - nothing changed.  I checked About page on Tune Up 2015 and "This product is licensed to" has nothing following it.  Tried to activate with AVG and no activation choose listed in the Help & Support menu per the help files.

Went to Zen to see if I could see the messages:

  1. NextPRV has not used.....has not been used.......may be slowing down computer  (I uninstalled)
  2. Bonjour Print Services has not used.......may by slowing down computer (I uninstalled)
  3. Toshiba System Settings has not been used.......may be slowing down computer. (I will not unistall)
How do we fix the dll issue?

I'm running Windows 8.1;
PC TuneUp 2015 ver 15.0.1001.403 ; Cleaning Definitions version 3
No update are needed

Running AVG TuneUp > Increase performance - 3 recommendations.  While programming was running received: Sorry an error occurred when loading the Windows library msxml3.dll  Increase performance – details running AVG Increase performance.

P.S.: cant load images because I dont have a url.  they are pictures of the error

P.S.S.: AVG has made me re-registeror all my AVG products on all my systems several times - VERY STRANGE.  Some reason my apps/proigrams are "gone" YES gone.  I have to reinstall ALL THE TIME
