If you tell me what that is, I might be able to look it up.

Use the Deferred Procedure Call Latency (DPC) checker from http://www.thesycon.de/eng/free_download.shtml and the sysinternals procexp utilities to verify that there are no driver-related problems on the slow system.

mmmhh ... my "system" is slow only with Flare 4 (now 4.12). And at compiling ...

Could you supply us with a screenshot showing that issue? Maybe it helps getting ideas.

... up to now I thought those buttons are for scanning browse sequences ... that's why they escaped my notice.
Thanks!

Just to clarify, you are talking about buttons that go to the Previous and Next TOC items, not the Forward / Back browse history buttons, right? (These are two separate functions that people sometimes describe as if they are the same thing).
Now I know why I didn't understand this problem ...

I'm not sure that HTML Help is that smart, unfortunately. M$ developed it back in the Win95 / 98 era and hadn't really figured out how to be web-compliant at the time. (That's RamonS's cue to say they still haven't, natch... which is true enough, but beside the point.) Since these buttons are ...

It has reached an even more remarkable stage, but I have found a workaround now:
I make a snippet out of such a shortcut, because we will need those shortcut links in a number of places. But if I insert that snippet I cannot see anything ... really nothing to see!

Luckily those shortcut links don ...

Funny that - I WANT my forward/back buttons to be inactive at launch but I don't get it ...
I know that it works, because I have seen it:

My Help (top left) and the Help of another software ... it works on the other help, but not on mine ...
How can I change ...

in the VSS database I can't see those topics anymore ... in the logs - no idea ... that takes time, right?
...
I'll post a bug report.

honestly, if I'd have to check each time I could do it in VSS immediately ...
And it is a "sometimes-I-do-the-job-function" of VSS or of Flare? Is it worth a bug report or do we have to live with it until at least the next version of VSS is installed?

isn't the checkbox Remove From Source Control supposed to do the job?

locally.

Code to standard and cite the W3C documentation when complaints arise. That is the way web design has to be done. Anything else is just bringing excuses for doing a crappy job.
Have you ever tried telling that to your customers or the head of your department?
Do you usually cross the street at ...

If you want to learn more about HTML, there are plenty of books out there. Plus http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp is a good learning site. I'll often go to W3's website, too, for reference ( http://www.w3.org/ ).
W3 is a nice try but

Hi there,
we are frequently angered by the following fact:
If one user deletes files, other users find them in their list with the status "pending add" - and that a lot more often than with the status "deleted" which is the correct status. That occurs with Flare 3.1, 4 and 4.1 ...

Is that a fault ...

Maybe a trick would work:
Create a gif with the bullet and insert a few pixels of empty space above the bullet: But I don't know, whether that works - never tried it ... maybe it just increases the line spacing ...

I want to assign a style to a snippet that has been inserted into a paragraph. I would like to assign a different style depending on where the snippet is used.
For this approach I assume: Your snippet is an inline one and that "depending on where the snippet is used" means in different topics.

This is your quote from the other post:

Alternatively, you can use a Related Topics control to open the second help file. Here's an example:
<object id="hhctrl2" classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11">
<param name="Command" value="Related Topics" />

what are your system specs?
Are you in a Active Directory?

Its hard to work with just the results if you do not know the things that are resulting to this output :)

Are you developer? That sort of enthusiasm for solving a riddle ...

I communicated all those pieces of information to the ...

reading my last post agian I think it might be misunderstood.
In my post in which I gave the runtimes on two different computers, computer X is the MadCap one and Y is mine (and those of my 5 colleagues).

Are you building web help or HTML help?
For a HTML Help there might be a solution:
Don't use the "glossary" but create a topic for each glossary term and build a separate glossary help. Build it with a skin without navigation pane. And start the glossary help via shortcut link:
program: hh.exe ...

It honestly sounds like there is something on the other computer thats bogging it down.
nope - we can reproduce it on all of our 6 PCs. The other PC was in MadCap support.

Apart from that: Flare 3.1 is on the same harddisk and on the same system ... how comes that with Flare 3.1 compiling is ...

What does that mean?
Is there a problem with our firewall?
Is sth wrong with the MadCap server?
Or do I get that message, because we bought Flare from a German reseller and we'll get our update via him?

There is (was?) nothing wrong with RH, not with "Classic" and not with "HTML". Not for nothing RH was the leader of the pack for years.
If you had used "RH HTML" Flare wouldn't be new to you - they are pretty similar. But I agree that working in Word and working with HTML or even XML and style ...
