Dreamweaver 2004 Won't Launch

Tried installing again and again but no luck getting
Dreamweaver 2004 to launch on my E-mac. Worked just fine prior to
installing Tiger, at least that's what it seems.
Thoughts?

Good morning ArtieTet,
I had the exact same problem and came across your post. I've since solved it on my computer. I'm not sure what your level of computer expertise is and whether or not you're comfortable editing your registry, so I've dumbed-down the following instructions a bit - forgive me if they're too dumbed-down!
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type regedit
4. Click the OK button
5. Double click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key (folder) on the left
6. Double click the SOFTWARE key
7. Double click the MACROMEDIA key
8. Right click the DREAMWEAVER MX 2004 key
9. Click Rename
10. Type a new name for the key, such as OLD DREAMWEAVER MX 2004
11. Press Enter
12. Try to start Dreamweaver again
If all goes well, Dreamweaver should open and re-create that DREAMWEAVER MX 2004 registry key from scratch. There's likely some corrupt data in it, though I haven't been able to figure out what. If I do, I'll let you know.

  • Dreamweaver CC won't launch - Mac OS 10.8.5 - No Crash Logs Created

    Dreamweaver CC won't launch at all on my machine anymore.  All the other Adobe CC applications work just fine. 
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled all my CC applications and done it again for good measure.  I've uninstalled all my fonts and reinstalled the normal Mountain Lion fonts and the fonts installed with the Adobe CC apps.
    Creative Cloud desktop is installed. It has update Dreamweaver to version 13.0.0.6391.  I'm aware that there is a version 13.1 out there, but Creative Cloud tells me I'm up-to-date and I have no more requests.
    When launching Dreamweaver, It bounces in my dock for a brief second, then disappears.  No crash log is created. The Console app shows the following entry after a number of attempts to launch Dreamweaver:

  • Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch on Mavericks

    Hello,
    Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch on Mavericks.
    I've tried reinstalling Dreamweaver. I've tried removing Java. I've read the online suggestions.

  • Dreamweaver CC won't launch

    I've downloaded Dreamweaver CC, but it won't launch. The icon bounces and then that's it. I've uninstalled, reinstalled and I get the same result. Any ideas?

    Hello,
    There could be various reasons behind that.
    1. Corrupt or insufficient Permissions at the Disk
    To fix this Repair permissions using Disk Utility.  Mac OS X Tutorial: How To Repair Disk Permissions - YouTube
    2. Corrupt Preferences Folder.
    Please go to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe and Rename Dreamweaver CC to Dreamweaver CC_Old and then try to launch Dreamweaver.
    Please go to ~/Library/preferences/Adobe and Rename Dreamweaver to Dreamweaver_Old and then try to launch Dreamweaver.
    3. Corrupt Profile.
    Create a new Admin User profile and try to launch it there.
    Please try the 3 suggestions above. If it still do not fix the issue please let us know.

  • Dreamweaver 2014 won't launch in Mavericks... has anyone experienced this problem?

    I downloaded the new 2014 version of Dreamweaver today & it won't launch in Mavericks... also dowloaded it to my PC & that works OK. Has anyone had this problem?

    Hi Harald,
    Looks like this is happening because of some issue during installation of the product.
    Can you try the following:
    1. Un-install DWCC 2014. Note: Before un-installing, I would suggest you to backup any user preferences files, extensions or site settings.
    2. Log out from your Adobe ID login in creative cloud.
    3. Log-in back again and then download and install the product.
    I am suggesting it since the same process helped one another user. Hence seeing if you are also encountering the same issue.

  • Dreamweaver MX 2004 won't launch.  Please help!

    My old laptop running Dreamweaver MX 2004 is dying, so I installed it on my new Windows XP laptop.  I have installed it several times before and never had a problem.  On the new laptop, when I launch Dreamweaver, it does not start.  In Task Manager, I see a Dreamweaver process start, then two ~e5d141.tmp processes start, then they all disappear.  One Macromedia Licensing.exe process remains for a few seconds or a minute, then it disappears too.  Technical support said my license and registration are all okay.  I installed the 7.0.1 upgrade but that had no effect.  There is nothing the event logs.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling in safe mode, launching it in safe mode, disabling the graphic accelerator, and lowering my screen resolution to 1280x1024.  I also tried several "Compatibility mode" settings.  I cannot find any log or dump files, although I might not be looking in the right places or for the right file names.  Can anybody please help me?
    Thank you.

  • DW MX 2004 won't launch ...  authenticate loop

    I'm on OS 10.4.9 and suddenly Dreamweaver MX 2004 is asking
    me for my system password at launch. When I enter it, the
    authenticate window disappears, then comes back again. If I enter
    the incorrect user name and/or password, I get a message to that
    effect, but the right combo just brings back the window again. All
    other Macromedia/Adobe programs launch fine... it's just
    Dreamweaver. And this is a new problem... DW has worked fine in the
    past, I can't think of any new installs or changes that would
    account for this.
    To be clear, it's asking my for my computer admin user name
    and password. And it won't accept them.

    Never mind. Although the instructions clearly state that one
    will not have to reinstall the software once the patch is
    installed, since it still didn't want to launch, I de-installed MX,
    then reinstalled. This time, the installation was successful, and I
    was able to go through the activation process, and finally launch
    the software.
    Perhaps the instructions should be changed to read
    "de-install software then reinstall once the patch is installed."
    Or something like that so that the process will work.
    Thanks for replying though.

  • MX 2004 won't launch-help, please....

    Install of Macromedia Studio X 2004 (dreamweaver, fireworks, flash) stopped opening all of a sudden. Happened on two different computers at roughly the same time. Have read all related support forums at Apple and Adobe, have tried many suggested fixes to no avail. Have dumped prefs, tried the Hot Fix install, permission fix, the Quicktime update, etc. I can't do a software reinstall b/c it won't accept my admin passowrd. A possibly related problem is that I can't print either. Have a feeling it is a bizarre permissions/licensing issue but I can't nail it down.
    Running 10.4.9 on Intel MacBook Pro and a PowerPC Dual G4, both experiencing the same problem.
    Is there any reliable help out there? Thanks!

  • Dreamweaver 8 won't launch

    This is probably a simple problem, but any help would be
    hugely appreciated.
    I've been working successfully in the older DW 8 on a iMac
    20" Dual core, but suddenly
    having uplink issues to my server, and when attempting to
    restart, I get a consistent
    "...application has quit unexpectedly." Now, I can't even get
    the app to launch! With my other Adobe apps, like Illustrator, I
    would tend to go and throw out the preferences file, to get a fresh
    start, and that would solve it.
    Are there similar prefs or ? that should be trashed?
    Reinstalling the software got no results...
    Thanks for any help that could be offered!...

    I am using Dreamweaver 8.0.2 on a PC. A couple days ago, my
    DW 8 wouldn't start-up. When I do start it, I get the green opening
    banner, but no flashing in small fonts as it loads the various
    parts or functions of DW 8. Eventually I have to force close
    (right-click on tab>Close on tab at the bottom of my screen) or
    do a Ctrl+ALT+Delete. Sometimes if I wait, after SEVERAL minutes,
    DW starts. I don't know how reliable it is though when it does
    start.
    I don't know what happened or changed. I saw online somewhere
    that if I go in and make a copy of the 'Configuration' folder of
    DW, then delete the old 'Configuation' folder, when DW restarts, it
    will make a new 'Configuration' folder. I did that and it works
    great, but I have to reset my palettes, which is fine.
    But I also noticed that ALL my DW extensions are turned off
    in 'Extension Manager'. So I go through them all and turn them all
    on. Now my DW is back to hanging and not restarting. I tried just
    loading a couple extensions I really need and it still starts
    properly, then I turn on another one and it's back to hanging.
    This is really frustrating and I really need to get some work
    done. Help!!! What do I do so I can get DW 8 up and running again
    with ALL my extensions like it was for many months/years???
    Please get back to me ASAP. You can send e-mail response to
    wildbarry[at]shaw[dot]ca. Thanx

  • Dreamweaver CC won't launch. All other CC apps work fine.

    I have been through the forum logs and have seen the notes about reinstalling Dreamweaver and installing Java. I have done both (uninstalled Dreamweaver, reinstalled/downloaded Dreamweaver CC from iCloud. I have downloaded and installed Java. Rebooted my machine. The icon bounces longer, but never gets to the splash screen.
    I am running OS X 10.9.2 (Maverick) on a 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac with 16GB of ram.
    Can you help??
    Thanks,

    I just spent over an hour on the phone with Adobe's support. It is finally resolve. It was a permissions issue. Basically, what the tech had to do was create a "root user" account, sign out of my account, sign into root user, uninstall Dreamweaver, then re-install Dreamweaver in the root user account. Since the root user account has full permissions, it worked. I definitely would not have figured that out without calling support and having a rep walk me through it. I didn't come across this solution on any forums I searched.
    I also had a duplicate Macintosh HD drive apparently in the root user account that caused some confusion with install, so he had to pull that out onto the desktop also to avoid confusion with the install, but my guess is that wont be an issue for others.
    If you can't solve it on your own, try calling the same # I called: 800-833-6687 Mon-Fri 5am-7pm PST.
    Hope you get it resolved.

  • After migrating to new Mac Pro Dreamweaver won't launch, says missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

    After migration to a new Mac Pro Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch. It says it is missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

    Hi rustyg12,
    Go to Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Menus/menus.bak
    You'll see a menus.xml there - it is a backup copy of the actual menus.xml file that DW uses.
    Copy it from that folder, paste it 1 level above (in Menus folder).
    Fire up DW. See if it works.

    I spent a lot of time trying to find a solution before buying.  I did not try the launch terminal solution....
    I will check back so I can find out what to do should this happen again.
    More possible bad news.  If you had followed what fane_j had asked you to do you might have found out it wasn't microsoft's fault for your problem and wouldn't have had to spend $150.  Because while you may have an Office that works, fane_j was not suggesting a solution but probing for a trojan (google "flashback trojan") that has been crashing powerpc code which is what Office 2004 is.
    So if you do have the trojan, while you can run a version of Office, the trojan may still be in your system since installing a version of Office isn't going to remove it.  So I'll make another request.  Launch Terminal (in your Utilities folder) and copy/paste the following line into the terminal window and hit return:
    defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment
    If you see anything other than a "does not exist" error message you almost certainly do have the trojan and post the results in this thread.
    The choice is yours.  You can ignore this and take the risk.  Or do what has been requested.
