I still cannot reproduce the problem and the log file you sent me contains no useful information. Let's suppose XXE silently ``crashes'' during the conversion: You need to run XXE (V2.11) in a console. The basic idea behind that is that XXE ``crashes'' during the conversion and that a stack trace (many cryptic errors messages) is printed on the console. [1] Open a command prompt. [2] Go to to the directory where XXE has been installed (C:\Program Files\XMLmind_XML_Editor) [3] Then go to the bin subdirectory (C:\Program Files\XMLmind_XML_Editor\bin). [4] Here you'll find xxe.exe and its companion xxe.jstart. Edit xxe.jstart with the notepad. Change ---- start jre\bin\javaw.exe ---- to ---- start jre\bin\java.exe ---- [5] In that directory, run: --- C> xxe.exe --- [6] XXE should start and another black window, its console, is opened near to the main window of XXE. [7] Open a DocBook document (userguide.xml is fine) and convert it to another format (HTML single page, No TOC to make it simple). If XXE ``crashes'', you'll have many messages printed on the console. I need you to send me these messages; *all* these messages. --- PS: To minimize the problems, I would recommend to download and install xxe-std-211-setup.exe from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml. This distribution includes it own *private* Java Runtime. You can keep your Sun Java 1.5.0 if you want. It will be ignored. ----- PS 2: Please disable your anti-virus software while you are doing all these experiments. Just in case... ----- PS 3: Is your machive heavily loaded? Near to be out of resources? The conversion process does not work because something seems to kill its thread.
