You can close the dialog box and get the same information using the button next to the status bar. Please click on the button next to the status bar, select the "Command Execution" page using the combobox, copy everything there (Ctrl-A then Ctrl-C) and please send it to me.

You really need to send me the document you are trying to convert to HTML. But before doing that, please try to convert to HTML another DocBook document, such as XXE_install_dir/doc/user/userguide.xml, and tell me what happens.
