How/where do you print out the data?

The use of Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP indicates that you are probably using 
script in an ASP page, where does Microsoft.XMLDOM then come into place 
which is usually used on the client?


If you receive XML with MSXML on the server and want to send it to the 
client then use (VBScript pseudo code)
   Dim httpRequest
   Set httpRequest = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0")
   httpRequest.open("GET", "url", False)
   httpRequest.send()
   If httpRequest.status = 200 Then
     httpRequest.responseXML.save Response
   End If
do not try to Response.Write the responseText.
If you are doing server side transformation then you can use 
transformNodeToObject and use the ASP Response object as the output 
object. Don't use transformNode and try to Response.Write the result.

But I am guessing, explain in more detail what you are doing, show some 
code, I know you have said you have tried a lot but we will need to see 
a specific attempt to tell you why it went wrong and how to change it.
