A bug has been confirmed in environments where IntelliPoint (a Microsoft-manufactured mouse driver) is installed. When using this development tool in DirectX mode, re-rendering a page window illegally overwrites menus and windows.
| Sample Case |
 |
To run TWL ManualEditor, you must install the following libraries, provided free from Microsoft, on a computer running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2.
To run TWL ManualEditor, you must have .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.
Note that operations are not guaranteed if you are using a version of .NET Framework before .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.
Download and install .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 from one of the following sites.

TWL ManualEditor uses DirectX for rendering the page windows.
TWL ManualEditor has been confirmed to work with DirectX 9.0c (June 2007).
For this reason, we recommend that you install a DirectX version newer than 9.0c (June 2007).
Download and install DirectX End-User Runtime from one of the following sites.

Q: Rendering is slow with TWL ManualEditor.
A: Confirm that Rendering Mode is set to DirectX in Environment Settings.
Q: I cannot select DirectX Mode as Rendering Mode in Environment Settings.
A: Check that DirectX 9.0c (June 2007) or a later version has been properly installed.
Q: I have DirectX 9.0c (June 2007) or later properly installed, but I still cannot select DirectX Mode in Environment Settings.
A: Check that your graphics card supports DirectX 9.0c (June 2007) and later versions.
Q: During previewing, an error occurs, and the preview stops.
A: Check that .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 has been properly installed.
Q: I can preview on my computer, but I cannot see the same data on the debugger. What is the problem?
A: There are restrictions on the TWL-DEBUGGER (software) version.
Check whether the version you have for TWL-DEBUGGER is later than 1.0.2.
TWL ManualEditor must run in DirectX mode to run fast enough to make manual-related work practical.
(Running in DirectX mode makes use of DirectX, which allows the program to render the data quickly.)
The performance of your computer's graphics chip has a significant effect on DirectX operations.
Due to the variety of hardware that is available for graphics chips, we have not been able to verify operation in all environments.
So far, we have confirmed that the following graphics chips allow for practical operation of the software.
This graphics card supports hardware vertex and lighting operations.
This graphics chip is mostly used in graphics cards that are separate from the motherboard.
This chip is mostly used in the integrated graphics that are built into the motherboards of business computers.
Click Start → All Programs → Accessories → System Tools → System Information to display the System Information dialog box.
From the tree view in the System Information dialog box, select System Summary → Components → Display, and note the value that appears for Adapter Type.
Note: This method requires that DirectX be installed.
From the Start Menu, choose Run, type dxdiag, and press ENTER to launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. Select the Display 1 tab and note the value that appears for Chip Type.
