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
Barry

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.

Dreamweaver won't launch

I have Dreamweaver CS3 running on Vista. When I go to launch
the app the green Dreamweaver background appears then a dialog pops
up in front of that. The dialog has the alert icon (!) and an "OK"
button. No other text or information. Clicking OK closes everything
down. This problem might be related to the latest Vista
update...

version 8.02
This was an older computer that I had to switch back to. It
had DW Studio 4 on it but used to work fine. I loaded Studio 8
without removing studio 4. I have since unistalled both and started
over with a fresh install of 8 with same errors. Thanks.

Dreamweaver won't launch anymore.

It worked a few weeks ago. When I double click the application, it does not start at all. No splash screen either. I have Windows XP, and Dreamweaver CS5.5. I have not made any changes to any webpages that could have caused DW not to launch. I have been using DW for updating download files only lately. The only thing I can think that may have caused DW to stop running is my recent update of Adobe Flash Player. This failure to launch is cutting into my productivity and hope to resolve this ASAP.

The first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences

If all else fails, use the CS Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

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 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 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 in 10.7.5 won't launch

I upgraded to 10.7.5 and now my CS3 apps won't launch.

OK, that seems to have resolved the issue. Apologies for the panic! I'm not sure what the problem was as I had already restarted and repaired permissions before the problem manifested, and DragonDrop works fine on my other computer running 10.8, and I have successfully restarted the program now on 10.7.5 without a recurrence of the issue. But if it happens again I'll update this thread.
Whew.

Yahoo Pagebuilder won't launch

Ever since I did the security update in early March I can't launch Pagebuilder anymore. It worked fine previously to that.
As best I can tell, something in the update prevents yahoo from accessing it's cookie on my mac.
It's NOT a browser issue, it's NOT a compatibility issue- all system requirements are met, it's NOT an individual user issue. It is definitely an issue with mac computers themselves, but what?
And, I'm not the only one with this pagebuilder problem, or with this app:
aol users are having trouble accessing their e-mail, too.
Something Apple did is messing things up for us mac users!!
PageBuilder works fine on pc's still, but I have a mac!
Thanks,
Julie

Photoshop CS6 won't launch and when it does it's really slow...help?

Hi,
So my copy of Photoshop CS6 sometimes won't launch and when it does manage to launch fully, it's really slow. I mean ridiculously slow. The only times when I can get it to run even remotely quick is if I shut down my computer, and then restart it and then start up Photoshop CS6 as the first program. Even then it slows down after a while. (And I only have a firefox browser open usually, never more than a couple of tabs at once, so it's not a bandwidth issue)
Here are my comp specs:
Samsung
Processor:
AMD A6-3420M APU with
Radeon (Tm) HD graphics 1.50 ghz
Installed Memory (RAM) - 4.00 (3.48 usable)
64 Bit operating System running on Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1
I also did just recently install the new update Adobe had for Photoshop, so that's up to date.
It's getting really frustrating! I have another program I'm using in the meantime (Paint tool Sai), but I'd really like to use Photoshop CS6.....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you updated the drivers from AMD's website, not Microsoft.
Make sure you are running the 64 bit version of Photoshop, not 32 bit.
Disable all third party plugins, and try disabling system utilities (we've seen font managers, antivirus, disk backup software, etc. cause slowdowns due to bugs in those utilities).
