Dreamweaver 8 on vista
Recently updated to Windows Vista at work, we use have always
used studio 8 stuff and adobe
Ever since I upgraded to vista my dreamweaver 8 likes to
crash alot especially when i try opening a file and it really hates
it when i try opening a file from a mounted drive.. just closes
without saying anything... Is there anyone else who has had this
problem or know how to fix it? I have looked for 2 weeks online and
have not found anything to help..
I don't post much but I check out the forums quite a bit if I
have trouble with something. It always amazes me how a lot of
things turn into a big FUD-fest - especially involving Microsoft.
Vista is fine, there are a million apps out there... not everything
is going to work. Dreamweaver seems to use a lot of XML and such
for it's own conifguration - Vista does this now for basic
operating procedures (people will notice that Dreamweaver will
disable Vista help because it changes what program manages
text/xml. All this stuff will be worked out I am sure. BTW to fix
the Help feature search for Kristan M. Kenney + Vista Help - there
is a reg file that sets it back.
On to the original question:
Yah, having a similiar issue. DW8 seems to lock and close
when using dialog boxes to link to a file, open a file, etc. Mine
is running in compatability mode as well, but that doesn't seem to
help. Hopefully Adobe will come out with a fix soon (yes, its
Adobe's problem, Microsoft sets a standard for the OS that
applcations use to interact - that is the baseline and software
will have to be adjusted - I really doubt everything will be
changed on the OS so one Adobe app will work).
The number of Vista users will increase in Feb drastically,
that will probably spark increased demand for this particular fix
(100 to 1 that Adobe has somehting in the can and is waiting on
it).
Finally, to the above post: Vista is NOT Wndows ME

Dreamweaver 8, Vista 64 - login info keeps getting deleted
I'm using Dreamweaver 8 on Vista 64, but am having a strange
problem - the saved login info (FTP username and password) are
deleted for whatever site definition happens to be selected at the
time I close Dreamweaver. I have to go to Manage Sites and edit the
site definition to add them again. This always seems to happen,
every time I close Dreamweaver.
Login info saved for site definitions that aren't the active
site at the time Dreamweaver is closed appear unaffected.
Also, I downloaded the
updater
for 8.0.2, but when I try to run it a message says that the wizard
was interrupted, and my system was not modified. What gives
there?> OK, thank you for the information.

Dreamweaver 8 is not certified for Vista, but it should work.
When
installing, make sure you are logged in with an Administrator
account.
It might also be necessary to turn off User Access Control
(in the Users
section of Control Panel) temporarily while installing DW.

I am contemplating the purchase of a new computer, which
would be equiped with Vista, the exact version I'm not yet certain
of.
A big concern I have is if my Dreamweaver 7.01 is compatible
with Vista. Anyone know for certain?
Thanks.Given that DW8 is not regarded as fully Vista compatible then
DW7 will be in
the same boat. Having said that people are running DW on
Vista without
issues, while others have problems.

I buyed a copy of Dreamweaver cs3 with OS Vista, but when I
try to load the program, since the first time I tried, it remains
on "Inizializiong Files", until I stop the process. What can I
do?Maybe someone else can help you out with this because you are
going to need to do the following steps and I just don't know where
the log file is saved on the Windows side:
1. Get the log file that the installer makes
2. Come back to this website and click on Your Account at the
top of the screen.
3. Log in and click on Customer Support Portal
4. Open up a support ticket. When you do there should be a
way to upload a file to their FTP server for them to evaluate.
Follow their steps exactly and upload your log file (it would be a
good idea to rename your log file with at least your username).
Then once you have done that wait for a response. They will
be able to tell you exactly where the installer is failing by
looking at the logs. It normally takes about 1-3 business days for
them to respond though. It might not be as quick as a phone call,
but if they don't know where the problem is, it is best to give
them as much information as possible. -

Anyone,
I have a collegue who is now running non-beta MS Vista while
at the same time running DW8.02. To provide a little backgreound,
we are sharing files over a network using the check-in/out system
built into DW. It seems random that files (or the cache of them?)
are not being updated locally after files are checked in for my
collague. Remotely, the files are updated, but then locally the
files have been upwards of 2-3 weeks old. Anyone have similar
experiences?I am in the same configuration, and have not seen this at
all.
One VISTA (RTM) box, and one XP box, sharing files in a
single local site
(on the XP box).

Dreamweaver and Windows Vista Problem
Hello,
I ran into a problem with my Dreamweaver - 8 application and
cannot find a fix. I open up the Dreamweaver application, 2-3
seconds later, I get the following error message, “A problem
caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will close
the program and notify you if a solution is available.” I am
using Windows Vista and believe the problem is associated with the
Vista operating system. I am puzzled by the fact that I have been
using Dreamweaver with Vista and have had no problems up until now.
I uninstalled & reinstalled Dreamweaver to no avail. I
restored my computer to an earlier date, and updated Dreamweaver,
and still have the same problem.
Any help to resolve this problem would be greatly
appreciated.
Steve

TextHello Again,
I finally fixed the problem. I went into my network settings
and reset my network address. This did the trick, I went back and
opened up Dreamweaver without any problem.

What happened to dreamweaver file created in xp when opened in vista?
I created a dreamweaver site in CS4 on windows xp, but recently upgraded to vista home premium. After I downloaded dreamweaver on vista, and restored my files, the Design and Code view shows unreadable text or code on my homepage html file. All of the other html files are normal. Attached is a sample of what my home page file looks like in design or code view. What happened to my file?
Your attachment didn't attach. Not your fault; they frequently don't.
To check out this unreadable text issue, go to your Edit > Preferences > Fonts and make sure that the fonts that are chosen are available on your new vista system. That should help with errors in Code View. If you are having Design View unreadability (!) check the header of your page to make sure that there is a declaration like this one:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
It will appear right after the DOCTYPE declaration (in Code View).
It's pretty disappointing when a new system isn't actually BETTER right away! My sympathy.

Dreamweaver crashes on start up
There are three common causes of Dreamweaver crashing on start up:
Conflict with security program on Acer computers
A corrupt Dreamweaver file cache
The 8KB bug
The following information describes how to handle each one.
Acer incomaptibility
There’s a known conflict between Dreamweaver and Acer eDataSecurity Management v3.0. If you’re on an Acer, and Dreamweaver won’t start, download the patch from http://www.egistec.com/oem-acer001/program-update.html. This should fix the problem.
Corrupted file cache
Dreamweaver creates a cache file called WinFileCache-********.dat or MacFileCache-********.dat inside your personal Dreamweaver configuration folder (the asterisks represent a series of letters and numbers that might differ from computer to computer). This occasionally gets corrupted causing instability, unpredictable error messages, and even crashes.
To solve the problem, close Dreamweaver and delete WinFileCache-********.dat or MacFileCache-********.dat. Sometimes, deleting this file is not sufficient, and you need to delete your personal configuration folder in its entirety.
WARNING: Do not confuse your personal configuration folder with the main configuration folder in Program Files in Windows or Applications on a Mac. You should never touch the main configuration folder unless you really know what you're doing.
Locating your personal configuration folder
The location of the personal configuration folder depends on your operating system and version of Dreamweaver. For Dreamweaver CS4, it’s as follows:
Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration
Mac OS X: Macintosh HD:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Dreamweaver CS4:<language>:Configuration
In all cases, <username> is the name of your user account on the computer and <language> indicates the language of your operating system. The language is usually represented by two pairs of characters separated by an underscore, as in en_US (English), es_ES (Spanish), or fr_FR (French).
Earlier versions of Dreamweaver locate the personal configuration folder in a slightly different location. This is where it can be found in Dreamweaver CS3:
Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
Mac OS X: Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Dreamweaver 9:Configuration
The Dreamweaver configuration folders are hidden on Windows, so you need to enable the option to view hidden files and folders in order to locate them, as follows:
In Vista, select Start > Computer > Organize > Folder and Search Options > View. In Advanced settings, choose Show hidden files and folders.
In Windows XP, select Start > My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View. In Advanced settings, choose Show hidden files and folders.
Once you turn on this option, hidden folders are displayed as dimmed icons to remind you to treat them with care.
The 8KB bug
This is a very rare bug that causes Dreamweaver to crash during operation, and then crash repeatedly each time you try to restart the program. It normally affects only Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows, and is caused by the presence of a file that's exactly 8,192 bytes (8KB) or a multiple thereof.
The solution is to open the file in a text editor and add a few extra characters (new lines or a comment will do). Save the file, and restart Dreamweaver.
If the file causing the problem is an image or other type of media file, edit it so that it's no longer an exact multiple of 8KB.Try #12 and #4 and then go through the rest as necessary:

Dreamweaver CC:Files 0kb on imac using Synology server
Since half a year now and then all files within dreamweaver are displayed as 0kb, I cannot acsess them anymore.
Fortunately the files are not really 0kb, using my PC with dreamweaver CC everything is ok.
The solution I found is de-install Dreamweaver and re-install it later again.
This takes a lot of time, is there a way to solve this poroblem?Thats correct Jon I was
For Dreamweaver CC:
Vista, 7 & 8: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\<language>\Configuration
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\<language>Configuration\
MAC: MacHD : Users : <username> : Library : Application Support : Adobe : Dreamweaver CC : <language> : Configuration : -
Dreamweaver crashes when "initializing" Business Catalyst extension
Hi,
This was my first intent to use the the BC Extension for DW (CS4).
First I was able to open DW and to to connect to BC via the extension panel. I uploaded my website to BC as a trail site and then the problems startet. DW would crash with almost any step I took.
At least I was able to open DW again. But from the moment on, that I clicked "stay logged in" in the BC-Panel, DW crashes from the moment on, when "initializing" BC. That means, I just can´t use DW anymore, because the programme crashes before even opening.
Anyone any idea?
ThanksHi Ginoem50,
If you experience JavaScript error messages when using Business Catalyst extension with Dreamweaver clearing the cache of Dreamweaver almost always solves it.
So there are two ways of solving this issues.
The first one is to remove the extension through the Extension Manager and re-install it.
The second one is to clear Dreamwaver's cache. Its cache is kept in a file in its Configuration folder. That file name depends on OS:
For Windows it is WinFileCache-<randomString>.dat
For MAC it is MacFileCache-<randomString>.dat
Deleting of that file clears the cache. After restarting Dreamweaver is creating new one.Location of the cache file defers for each version and operating system.
Here is a list of locations depending on OS for Dreamweaver CS4
Vista & 7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>Configuration\
MAC: MacHD : Users : <username> : Library : Application Support : Adobe : Dreamweaver CS4 : <language> : Configuration :
Note that folders AppData in Vista and Application Data in Win XP are normally hidden. In order to unhidden them you need to:
For Vista:
Open new Windows Explorer window.
Press Alt to reveal the text menu.
Choose "Folder Options" from "Tools" menu. In the pop-up window go to "View" tab.
In the list of options find "Hidden fles and folders" section and mark "Show hidden files and folders". Press ok to Apply the change and to cloce the pop-up.
For Windows XP:
Same as for Vista except that you don't need to press Alt in order to reveal the text menu. It is always visible
