Please retry opening the XML file after clearing or disabling the XML Schema/DTD cache (Menu Options|Options, Open tab). You probably experimented with several successive versions of dbxxe.dtd and the XML-Schema/DTD cache ``captured'' the first one. If it still does not work, please send us a copy of your config/docbook/ directory and a sample XML file and we'll try to make it work.
