Dreamweaver CC crashes on startup

I run Dreamweaver CC on a Win 8 64-bit PC. I loaded a saved sitemap (.ste) file. After this Dreamweaver crashes as soon as I try to open it. I see the splashscreen for quite some time and then it will go all black... maybe come back showing the splash screen and go black again. After this I just get the error that the application stopped responding and crashes.
I have followed every single forum on the clearing settings etc and it makes no difference whatsoever. Most of the other bugs allows the users to at least get into Dreamweaver... I can't even do that!!

Try removing/ deleting all 'Sites' or just that 1 troublesome site from your harddisk (where DW usually stores it) and try opening DW. Follow these instructions:
On Windows, the site definitions for Dreamweaver CS6 are stored in the Windows Registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Common\12.0\Sites.
In Mac OS X, they are at Macintosh HD:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Common:12.0:Sites:Site Prefs.
In recent versions of Mac OS X, the Library folder is hidden. In the Mac Finder, select Go > Go to Folder, type ~/Library in the search field, and click Go.
The version may be 12.0 or 13.0 depending on the version of DW you're using. 12.0 for CS6 and 13.0 for CC.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 crash on startup

    I am using CS3 version 9 Build 3481 on a Mac running the
    current OS. It was running fine until the university changed the
    location of servers, where my site is. Dreamweaver now crashes on
    startup. The 1st message displayed is "An FTP error occurred-
    cannot make connection to host". I have to click OKAY, and then
    another dialog box appears that says, "Failed to create empty
    document". Again, I have to click OKAY and then Dreamweaver shuts
    down. I tried deleting the Dreamweaver folder and reinstalling, but
    the same thing occurs.
    Any advice?

    After the university changed the location of servers, did you
    update the FTP
    settings in your site definition?

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Crashes At Startup

    I installed the CS3 web premium suite and all the programs
    worked great, including Dreamweaver. After rebooting the PC the
    next morning, Dreamweaver CS3 would not launch anymore. I
    reinstalled DW but still the same problem. Startup gets as far as
    reading the site cache and then totally disappears. I've tried
    renaming/deleting the Configuration and the registry key
    (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9), and the DW8 site
    caches. The other CS3 programs work fine.
    What now?

    I can open Dreamweaver now but I don't think the problem is
    solved. Here's what happened:
    I took the steps in the article you referenced and some
    others, re-started the pc repeatedly with all start-up programs
    disabled, and waited in vain for the promised return phone call
    from a seemingly diligent guy in Tech Support. When I called Tech
    Support the next day, they said that the case number and customer
    ID had no reference to this problem so someone would call back. OK,
    fine. I'll wait.
    I did a "clean update" of ZoneAlarm, remembering that this
    had solved some other problems in the past. Later yesterday, I was
    cleaning up some experimental website file directories and renamed
    a few of them to make more sense of what they were.
    When I tried to re-open Dreamweaver later, it paused to tell
    me that it could not find the directory for the site referenced in
    the site definition and I should go to Manage Sites to fix it.
    Since Dreamweaver had crashed repeatedly before reaching this
    stage, this was a major victory. The site it was trying to open was
    one that I had set up to experiment with some of the new features
    in DW CS3 after the initial installation. Fortunately, it was one
    that I had renamed earlier yesterday.
    The offending directory contained a page with some of the new
    Spry widgets (Tabbed Panel and Accordian) and a short slideshow
    that I think I made using Bridge.
    So, I was able to open the Manage Sites panel and point
    Dreamweaver to another site definition. It opened fine and everyone
    lived happily ever after.
    Unfortunately, the problem is not solved -- just worked
    around by coincidence.
    Here is some info from the Windows Control Panel's Event
    Viewer about the last time that DW crashed: Faulting application
    dreamweaver.exe, version 9.0.0.3481, faulting module msvcr80.dll,
    version 8.0.50727.163, fault address 0x000142f1.
    Hope ths helps Adobe figure out what is causing this crash.
    Now that I can open Dreamweaver CS3 and use it, I'm really
    impressed with the upgrade.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Crashes on Startup  [ OSX Snow Leopard]

    I would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding the problem I am finding below.
    For some strange reason all of a sudden Dreamweaver crashes everytime I open the application. I have recently upgraded to OSX Snow Leopard but have been using Dreamweaver without any problems since upgrading. I have tried uninstalling the full Adobe CS4 suite and have reinstalled from scratch but this hasn't made any difference. I have also removed the preference files, to no avail. I am not sure if this is a Apple problem or a Adobe application problem. All the other CS4 applications open without a problem.
    The error I receive is as follows:

  • Dreamweaver CC crashes upon startup

    Hi,
    I'm on a Mac, OS X Mountain Lion, and CC.
    I've been merrily working away on a site and have not had any problems with Dreamweaver at all until this evening.
    Upon opening DW, I got a messages that read "The cache will now be re-created because the cache file is missing or damaged."
    Then if I continued, it would start trying to rebuild the cache and get hung up at around  "Counted 2121 HTML, 2740 total." It's not always at the same counter, but always freezes
    I had renamed the configuration file within Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC, and that got rid of the first message, but it is still getting hung up. I uninstalled Dreamweaver completely, still having the problem. I reinstalled the OS X, still having the same problem.
    Now I can't even find the Dreamweaver folder within that path anymore: Library/Application Support/Adobe/....
    I'm stumped. Help? I'm supposed to go live with a site today!
    Thanks for your help in advance,

  • Dreamweaver CS4 crashes on startup

    I have Dreamweaver CS4 running on Windows.  I am running it on a Mac with the Parallels program.  It was working fine for a long time and then started closing itself whenever I tried to open the program.
    I have tried some of the things mentioned like changing the name of the configuration folder.  I have several files that are right around 8kb - 7.98 and 8.07...how close to 8 does it have to be for the 8kb bug?
    Anything else I should try?  Screw it all and upgrade to CS5?  Dreamweaver still works on my crappy old laptop, but not on my much newer computer - very frustrating!
    Thanks,
    James

    Actually it's not comparing old to new.  It's comparing a real environment vs a virtualized environment.  You can cross-grade from CS4 Windows to CS5 Mac but that is something you have to do directly through Adobe because they end up sending you a full version of CS5 Mac since the upgrade installer would not work.
    It could be tied to the OS installation or it could be tied to Dreamweaver.  Hard to really say without knowing more about the error.

  • Dreamweaver Crashes on Startup

    After many months of Dreamweaver CS4 on my Mac working fine, it suddenly started crashing on startup. Just before this problem started, I was working in a file based on a template. An error message came up, and unfortunately I didn't write down what it said. I do remember pieces of it. It was regarding a javascript error and had the following parts that I remember, onblur, description.htm, and line 69 (I think). Dreamweaver soon crashed, and now it just gets past the Welcome screen and crashes. I have searched the Dreamweaver forum, and based on suggestions have done the following:
    deleted the cache file
    added more text to files that were 8kb
    deleted the configuration folder
    renamed the file I was last working on before the crash
    deleted Dreamweaver CS4 Preferences file
    Disabled the Welcome screen
    At one point in all this, I was getting a message when Dreamweaver was unable to read preview in browser preferences, and please remove all browsers form the list and add them again--but I am no longer getting that message.
    After hours of trying to solve this I got so frustrated I even tried to call Adobe support, knowing that I would have to pay dearly for help. I was on hold for 45 minutes, and finally gave up.
    I would be eternally grateful if someone could help me with this.

    I dont have an answer to your problem, but I do know that the best way to get through to adobe is to NOT press the button for customer support, but to go to techincal support.  I had an issue, twice, if I recall correctly I was on hold for way too long, went back, pushed the TS button, live help (his name was Bob with a foreign accent...nuff said) and problem was solved in 10 minutes.

  • DW CS4 Crashes on startup

    Custom machine / Windows XP pro / SP3 updated / Core2 Duo Quad 2.8 / 4 gigs ram / plenty of HDD space
    Out of the clear blue sky, DW CS4 (build 4117) is crashing on program startup. I cleaned the registry and restarted the machine, which did nothing to solve the problem.  DW CS4 on this machine is part of the Design Premium Suite. Other programs are working fine.Any clues? I'm dead in the water.

    There is an an item in the Dreamweaver FAQ entitled Dreamweaver crashes on startup.
    In all probability, you have a corrupt file cache. Details on how to delete it are in that article. In some cases, you need to delete the personal configuration folder, but try the file cache first.

  • DW CS4 crashes at startup - initializing files

    I have been using DW CS4 for a while now without any issues.
    However, as of last night whenever I start DW CS4 DW goes through
    the startup procedure and then stops as soon as the screen says
    "Initializing files". At that point, windows Vista takes over with
    the crash message and the program stops loading.
    I have unistalled and reinstalled DW several times as well as
    deleting the preferences (which I dislike since my DW is highly
    customized) No luck so far.
    As a background, I should add that last week a client was
    nice enough to help me buy the Adobe suite premium (the one with
    almost all the goodies) at the partner price. So I installed it,
    all of it minus Dreamweaver. DW worked fine with the suite for
    several days so I don;t think that's what's going on, but I feel I
    should disclose it.
    My system is an Intel quad core with 8gb of Ram and Vista 64
    bit.
    Dreamweaver CS3 thankfully still works fine so I will be able
    to use that for work until I figure this out. I hope someone can
    help me out because this is a real big problem for me. Thank
    you.

  • DW CS6 Crash On Startup, MMDocumentTypes.XML problem

    On Dreamweaver CS6 which I just installed today, I keep getting the following error on startup,
    "No document types have been found in the Configuration/DocumentTypes/ folder. The MMDocumentTypes.xml may be missing or corrupted. The application will exit now.
    I've tried the cache deletion method found in the FAQ thread for crashes on startup with no success as well as reinstalling Dreamweaver once. I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    I just revisiting my problem today by doing yet another uninstall then reinstall. I think the issue I had was in the configuration files (although I'm not sure why it happened) as the second time I uninstalled, I made sure to tell the uninstaller to delete User Preferences Data or something of that sort (it's the checkbox over on the right when you choose what to uninstall out of the suite. Try uninstalling with that checked and then reinstall againm, worked for me.

  • Boum! DW8 crashes on startup

    Hello! Since yesterday, my dreamweaver crashes on startup but
    my others Studio products still working!
    I read that the configuration folder may be corrupted so I
    renamed it...
    Dreamweaver creates a new one but still crashing!
    What else can I try, please? By the way, I work with a xp
    pc...
    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Could be. The 8K bug is a crash that happens when you have an
    external
    stylesheet that is exactly 8K in size. Try adding an empty
    comment to the
    stylesheet, and see if that helps.

  • CS5 Fireworks crashes on startup (XP)

    Hi guys,
    I've just installed CS5 web premium, put the serial in, installed all programs, no problems. 
    Tried running each program, whihc was going fine, until I got to Fireworks.  I get the splash screen for about a second, and then the program completely disappears.  Sometimes the process stays running using 100% CPU power, sometimes it just completely dies.  I've tried completely removing all adobe programs and re-installing, and I get the same issue.  Everything works fine except Fireworks.  I've searched online and on these forums for hours, some people have mentioned conflicting fonts, conflicting site IDs from Dreamweaver, and dodgy permissions, but nothing seems to be helping.
    This was installed straight on a clean XP install, nothing but XP and Office were already on the PC.
    I've done everything as local admin, so I'm sure it can't be a permissions issue.
    PC Specs:
    AMD Sempron 2.2 GHz processor
    1GB RAM
    150GB HDD
    Running XP SP3
    Any ideas anyone?  This is driving me mad.

  • DW6 Crashes on Startup

    Just migrated to a new computer. Deauthorized old computer, authorized new computer.
    DW6 crashes on startup, giving the following error: "Failed to Parse Eve: /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Dialogs/Eve/SiteScanDialog.eve"
    Tried replacing preferences and SIMBL and got the same error. Suggestions?
    ETA: Just checked that location and there's no such folder in the Configuration folder. On OSX10.8. Huh?

    Perhaps you should rename the entire configuration file and then restart
    DW to see if it runs smoothly this time.  The configuration folder is
    damaged beyond repair and the only way out is to recreate a new one.  By
    renaming the old folder(s) you will get new fresh ones when you launch
    DW again. Make sure DW is closed before you rename anything.
    The folders in the old MACs were at this location:
    MAC: MacHD : Users :  : Configuration :
    Substitute username with your correct username for the machine, xxxx
    with the version number
