When you double-click on the icon of XXE, Windows assigns a current
working directory to XXE (right-click on the XXE icon and select
Shortcut Properties). If this current working directory is something
like \\server\share (S:\foo\bar is OK), then you should see error
messages printed on the console and after this the XML catalog resolver
(which is not the work of XMLmind) is broken.
I'm sorry but given this report, I have no clue on what could happen on
this particular PC.
