Dreamweaver CS3 and Windows 7

We were just upgraded to Windows 7 from XP at work and althought my CS3 suite is not showing any signs of problems, Dreamweaver has this bug where when I am browins for a site folder using the Edia Sites dialog box, the settings don't save any folders deeper than one level, so for example, if I am locating the testing server location for a site, and that location is X:\devsites\sites\site4 and during the session I dorows to that location and open that site4 folder and click ok to select it, DW CS3 only takes the devcites folder top level as the desired folder. I have to manually type the path in the testing server folder field in order for DW CS3 to accept the location. Is there any support currently provided for bugs of CS3 since CS4 is already out?

Dreamweaver CS3 and Windows 8 Issues

I have Dreamwever CS3 and Windows 8 and I keep getting errors that can only be resolved by closing down DW and losing the work I have processed so far. I happens mostly when I use extentions such as Webassaist Data Bridge. I have visited their forum but they advised me to checkout you trouble shooting service.
Please advise

Hi,
If Dreamweaver is working fine without the extensions, I am not sure if we should be troubleshooting Dreamweaver. Just to be sure, Windows 8 is not a supported version for Dreamweaver CS3. It could possibly work, but wouldn't have been tested on Windows 8 as Adobe supports only the previous two versions of any software.
This is my best answer. You could wait for other experts for their opinion.
Thanks,
Preran

Hello,
what concerns your wish about an uinstaller, so you should use
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html >>> AND note this "Read before you download a CS3 product". And esp, "You need your CS3 serial number to complete the installation" but this shouldn't be a problem for you, because you had an official version and so you can use all these informations like https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

CS3 and windows 7.

I have cs3 and windows 7 64 bit. I was able to run cs3 in xp, but everytime I try 7 it hangs up right before it asks for my serial number. The installation is perfect, everything goes great, but when I open cs3 it opens up a blank cs3 window, and the curser timer starts and that is all. when I click anywhere it says "not responding".
I have heard of this before in this forum... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/377888
The guy was running vista and got it to work through this.... http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3750
But I am running windows 7 and vista doesnt work on here, is there a license thing for windows 7?
I have been looking for weeks!!!!
I reformated my pc twice!
Someone PLEASE help.
Thank you.

Little confused here. How can CS3 install perfect when the serial number is not installed?
When you install PS CS3 on Windows 7 you have to install the software itself as Admin. Put the disk in but don't install. Choose explore the disk or open and then look for the PS CS3 folder. Open the folder and locate the .exe file. Right click on the .exe file and select run as Admin.
Before you do the install ensure windows defender is turned off. Ensure any anti-virus is not running. If adobe reader is installed remove it. ensure no other adobe product is running in the background.
I do not have CS3 installe but when CS4 is installed on windows 7 it will hang around 90 percent complete and will take 10 to 15 mins to finish. Might not be true for CS3 though....
After install, reboot computer.
After reboot, go to start, all programs and right click on PS CS3. Choose properties, compatibility, and check run as Admin. Hit apply then ok to close.
Click on PS CS3 to see if it will start. If it runs update to 10.0.1
Now if you have any problems running CS3 after all this right click on PS CS3, properties, compatibility, and check run this program in compatibility mode for: Choose Vista SP2. If you have display problems then go back to this tab and check disable visual themes and also check Disable desktop composition.
Hudechrome, a regular poster on here, has installed CS3 on Windows 7 before so maybe he might chime in with his words of wisdom (or something like that). I am not sure if he did what i wrote to install CS3 on windows 7. I error on a caution side of things.

Dreamweaver CS3 and Mac OS 10.4.11 Incompatability

I have been using Dreamweaver CS3 under OS 10.4.10 for a few
months without significant issues... but after upgrading to 10.4.11
there is a significant problem.
I am unable to access any of my remote servers to upload
files to the sites I have built.
I was able to reinstall Dreamweaver 8 and it works fine with
all the same setups
I've read a technote on a noted problem with Dreamweaver CS3
and Mac OS 10.5 - but it also appears to happen on 10.4.11
You can read the 10.5 technote here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402780

I have not experienced this problem. Try removing the DW CS3
preferences file in your Library and then let DW build a new one.
BTW, what error you are getting when you try to FTP?

SWF problem in Dreamweaver CS3 and strange Script file

Hi folks, I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and tried to upload a
SWF file today. The SWF includes three buttons, one for video,
another for audio and one for text. Before loading up to DW all
three parts played fine. But when I uploaded to DW and my site, the
video fails to play. A Script file, and another file downloaded I
am not sure what I am supposed to do with this script file. The
script file is called The audio and text part works fine, but the
video will not play. I am not sure why this is, but when I uploaded
the file to Dreamweaver there was a Script file called
AC_RunActiveContent.js that automatically downloaded along with a
file called .htaccess
The other file is called called .htaccess
I uploaded both files to my server, but that did not help the
video play. I tried pasting the AC_RunActiveContent.js code into my
page and uploading, but that did not help the video play either; I
just got code at the bottom of my page.
I have viewed the page in Mozilla, IE7 and Flock, but still I
cannot play the video.
Does anyone have any idea how to make the video play in
Dreamweaver; what I am supposed to do with these two code files?
For those interested in the AC_RunActiveContent.js code, I
will post below. Please try to explain simply because I am not so
tech savvy.
I thank you all.

I have managed to fathom it out.

I have been trying to create a dependent drop--down menu so that when I select an item the corresponding information would populate the other field or fields. So far I have tried to use the tutorial posted on the link below by Waleed Barakat but I have had no sucess.

Hi Georgev63,
I followed the instructions to the link you sent me and it did not produce the results I had hope for.
The directions are pretty straight forward and I attempted the steps several times with the same results.
Basically the field that supposed to be the detail field is blank rather than having the ID of the master field.
Any further suggestions would be much appreciated.

Dreamweaver CS3 and using keyboard shortcut to preview in browser

Hello,
I am currently using Dreamweaver CS3 and the shortcut to preview work in the browser is Command - F12. The problem is, I'm using the Apple keyboard and when I click that, the volume of the system changes.
I've tried Control, Command, Command+Control, etc, and F12 and nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks.

fnOptionF12 will work.
fn tells the keyboard to send the F-xx instead of the special function.
And like I said there is an option in the System Preference to reverse the use of fn and make the F-xx keys work as F-xx instead of the special function.

Vista-64 CS 3, all install but Dreamweaver cs3 and Encore

Hi My OS is Vista-64,
I'm trying to install the Creative suite 3 master collection.
All installs fine, except Dreamweaver cs3 and adobe Encore cs3. I get the same reason
"Component install failed"
Any ideas what i should do?

Temprorarily disable UAC (Universal Account Countrol). Also, temprorarily diable your Anti-Virus app. This may then solve your install issues on Win Vista 64. It worked for me...

How can I syncronisch my allready bought dreamweaver cs3 and adobe photoshop cs3 on my windows surface pro tablet

hi there,
how should I sychronize my allready exsisting adobe photoshop cs3 adobe dreamweaver cs3 from my home computer on my windows surface pro tablet 8.1@@

Was this from disc or download?
If from disc, you'll need to connect an external disc drive via USB to the Surface.

I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows 8 it says "The Installer Database is corrupt"

I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC and when I run SETUP.EXE it says "The Installer Database is corrupt" on both my original CD and backup I made.

The error is here:
Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC
This will most likely never work. CS3 wasn't even fit for Win 7. Delete the caps.db in the respective caps folder (info here) and then take the usual steps of running as admin, turning off UAC and security tools and possibly using compatibility modes, but as I said, be prepared that this may be futile and you spend a Sunday afternoon without achieving anything...

Thumbs Up To Upgrading To CS3 and Windows Vista

Hi Folks,
After several years of using Dreamweaver 8 on my antiquated,
10-year old, 700MZ DELL (upgraded from Windows 98SE to Windows XP),
I finally bought a new HP with Windows Vista. Then I upgraded from
DW8 to CS3 ($199) and couldn't be happier. I used to have the old
XP "login" issue (remembering the login) and was never able to
resolve it, despite using the recommened fix I found here, so it
was something I just lived with.
But that's all behind me now. This new DW works great with
Vista and so far, I have no issues whatsoever. Looking forward to
learning more about CS3 and all it's features.
I'm a total novice... (you can tell by viewing my website:
LBIBeachRentals.com ... LOL), but if I can do it, anyone can. Many
thanks again to everyone who has helped me in the past,
particularly Peggy and Murray from OC.

disc to reload onto my new computer. Here's my question. Do I need
to have the old version of dreamweaver 8 uploaded before I can use
the CS3 or CS4 version? Or, is the CS3 or CS4 a total package with
the old program being obsolete? I appreciate your answer!
I did much the same recently - (upgrade) from MX to CS3. I
was using a boxed set but all I needed were the qualifying serial
numbers of two MX programs for an upgrade. The applications were
self standing and I never had to install the old ones.
I would suggest turning the Vista Aero interface off -
particularly if you also have Fireworks - after that it is great.

Dreamweaver CS3 and Athlon 64

I just installed Creative Suite 3 Web Premium on my computer.
When I run Dreamweaver CS3, PerfMon shows the processor spiking to
between 80-100% every few seconds. Avg. pages/sec and disk queue
length don't seem to be affected. This happen when I'm actively
working on page(s). If Dreamweaver is idle, the processor does not
spike.
My computer is running:
Windows XP Pro - 32 bit
AMD Athlon 64 3400+
2 GB of RAM
55 GB hard drive, 20 GB free
Dreamweaver is using around 76 MB of ram, and this remains
constant as the CPU spikes.
Are there any known issues with running Dreamweaver CS3 on
Athlon 64, or has anyone else experienced this problem?

Spikes in cpu usage by itself is not a problem. DW does some
processing
(such as updating remote file lock status) during "idle" time
to give
user more cpu to complete tasks.
Are you seeing lags trying to complete a task? That would be
a problem.
If so, please provide more details.
Thanks,
Randy

Using Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows 8

Installing Dreamweaver CS3 with Windows Xp Sp2

Hi, I'm having trouble installing the Dreamweaver CS3 trial
in my Windows XP SP2 machine.
I dont know if I have an adecuate processor, that seems to me
its the only one of the requirements I might not complete.
I have an AMD Athlon 2500+ processor with 1Gig of ram... the
last Dreamweaver runs smoothly.
Can someone tell me if this processor is P4 compatible, Xeon,
CoreDuo, etc. compatible.
If so, whats the problem with the installation, because it
begins but shuts down automatically.

Just like danglyfury said, it decompresses, then a progress
bar appears, and suddenly it disappears and that's it.
You guys aren't the only ones having problems. I'm having the
same exact problems myself. If you take a look at this forum
thread,
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?14@@.3bc3b755/57
they offer possible solutions for Photoshop CS3 - because the
installer is the same, the solution works for dreamweaver as well.
Unfortunately for me, I've tried all of their possible solutions,
no luck. It baffles me why Adobe would package all their new
software with such a buggy installer. Anyhow, if anyone has any
other suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
