      <div>If you haven't already had a reply, I would be willing to try
        on my computer if you can zip your shapefile up and get it to me
        (e-mail, Dropbox, etc...). </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>You might also add a field and populate it with a single
        value (e.g., "1") for all records and then try a Dissolve based
        on that field. <br>
        <br>
        What version of QGIS are you running, from what source
        (standalone installer or OSGeo4W), on what OS and x86 or x64?</div>
