Welcome screen displays less than one second and is replaced by another screen

Hi,

I checked that C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\14\resources\welcomeScreen\welcome.html is ok with IE11, but I start start Fm 2017 (in trial mode so far), the welcome screen flashes briefly, and is replaced with another pretty useless one, showing link on the top to White Papers.

Any idea how I can avoid that?

Thanks!

Thanks, that worked fine and upgraded to: 14.0.1.406

Unfortunately, that did not help.

I found out the problem: this happens when the firewall blocks Framemaker.

The part that was displayed is the right part of the welcome.html file with the links that were blocked.

This might be construed as a bug: FM should be able to display correctly the left of the start page where there is no Internet connection.

I guess that editing the welcome file to remove the live part could solve the problem, but I don't know how to do that.

Edit: I found how to edit the file, and now it works without Internet connection if needed.

Here is the new welcome.html file in case somebody needs it:
