Re:'Not Enough timers available' + System Error. Code:_11

Unread post by pcdata »

Hi

The suggested items offer no solution to my problem, I regularly use a registry scanner to keep the registry clean and I use Norton AV which is also up to date.

I am also now getting errors of

'Not Enough timers available' when I try and compile the chm.

I am now totally unable to unable to use 5.5 , if I uninstall this and return to a previous version, which worked fine before the upgrade, will there be any problems?

Thanks in advance

Further information on problem of timers

Hi

I think I have isolated the cause of the problem but I am perplexed as to why. I have tried to illustrate the following in the attached word document.

I use embeded topics a lot, as a convention all my fields are documented as f_fieldname. One of these, which represents a collectionof address fields, is f_add1.

In the attached document, Figure 1 shows the embeded topic address as being incomplete, i.e. just [Embedded Topic rather than the 4 line narative which is held in f_add1.xml

If I remove references to f_add1 from the Main Topic (see Code 1 - Main Topic highlighted in red) then the help compiles OK. If I add back the reference to f_add1.xml then the help file compilation just stops.

Any other reference to field f_add1.xml stops the help compilation.

In the word document is the contents of f_add1.xml in the section Code 2 - File F_ADD1.XML. Even if I have a blank f_add1.xml file, any reference to f_add1.xml stops the compilation dead.

Hope the above makes sense.

Regards

pcdata, you may have hit an undocumented reserved word. Are the problems the same if you globally change the name f_add1 to something else, e.g., mary ?

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion - I have removed all f_add1's for now, but will try your suggestion in a couple of days time when I next need to recompile the help.
