RE: Problem with validation against Schema.

Henry gave you a valid answer to your question and was quite patient. I'd take his advice about reading the primer or some other material to make yourself more familiar with W3C XML Schema if you plan to be authoring schemas by hand. 
 
In any case, Henry has told you what to do. Remove the xsi prefix from all the elements in your instance document and only place it on the noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute.

 Thanks for directing me back to the start.
 "Go get your self a book" is the best explicit advice I could have gotten.
 
 The Instance is exactly as you say it should be, but still the schema fails
 to validate.
 
 Does the Xmlschema-Dev team have less busy person to consult with ??
 
 Thanks
 Shay.

 I didn't say to remove the declaration, or to remove the prefix from
 the attribute.  Your instance should begin:
 
   <proposals xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="file:///C:/My
 Documents/proposal1..xsd">
 
 I encourage you to look at the Primer [1], or get an introductory XML
 Schema book -- you seem to be a bit unfamiliar with how namespaces and
 schemas work.
