Now when WinCC flexible starts it gives me error: Error : Final conversion steps failed. Save has been disabled by WinCC flexible. Please contact technical support. System.Xml.XmlException: The 'b' start tag on line 1 does not match the end tag of 'text'. Line 1, position 229. at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(String res, String[] args) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ThrowTagMismatch(NodeData startTag) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseEndElement() at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseElementContent() at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Read() at System.Xml.XmlTextReader.Read() at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Text.FormattedTextXmlReader.ReadFormattedTextXml() at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Text.FormattedBaseText.DoGetTextFragments(String text) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Text.FormattedBaseText.GetTextFragments(String languageName, Boolean synchronize) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Text.FormattedBaseText.GetReferencedHmiObjects(Boolean synchronize) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Text.FormattedBaseText.get_ReferencedHmiObjects() at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Text.FormattedTextReferenceInfo.GetReferencesFromFormattedText(IHmiObject o) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Text.FormattedTextReferenceInfo.InternalGetValues(IHmiObject o) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Common.Base.BaseReferenceInfo.GetValues(IHmiObject o) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Common.Base.HmiObjectIterator.IterateReferences(IHmiObject hmiObject, ObjectIteratorState state, Boolean childrenOnly) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Common.Base.HmiObjectIterator.Iterate(IHmiObject rootObject, ObjectIteratorCallback callback, Object[] data, Int32 startDepth, Int32 maxDepth) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Common.Base.HmiObject.DeleteReferences(Boolean root, ICopier copier) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Common.Base.HmiObject.Delete(Boolean root) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Common.Base.HmiObject.Delete(Boolean root, Boolean force, IHmiObjectHandleList handles) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Common.Base.HmiObject.Delete() at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.GraphX.RepairHmiTexts.Repair(IContext context, Boolean wasConverted, IList conversionInfo, IList openInfo) at Siemens.Simatic.Hmi.Utah.Database.DatabaseItem.HandleProjectOpened_RepairServices(Object sender, HmiObjectEventArgs args) I tried basic things like delete temporary files, rebuild all, save and optimize, save with reorganization slow, recompile. It didn't help. What can be the cause of this problem and how to get rid of that message. Regards

If I open my project with WinCC Flexible SP3 (without Update 3) it gives me error. After I updated to WinCC Flexible SP3 Update 3 theerror is gone.It looks like there was a bug in software and Siemens fix that with Update 3. Regards

Then I opened it on Windows 7, on WinCC 2008 SP3. Initially, I couldn't convert on Windows 7. Kind regards.
