Dreamweaver CS3 no longer opens files

Greetings,
I am not sure where to post this, so I will post here - already have a question open on the Dreamweaver forums.
I have run into an unusual problem. I can no longer open files either on my local machine or remote server without Dreamweaver CS3 freezing. I am using OS X Leopard - 10.5.2 on an Intel MacBook Pro. A week or so ago I was able to open my .asp files just fine. Now, Dreamweaver simply freezes when I try and open them - either locally or remotely. I tried deleted the preferences file and removing site information from Manage Sites with no luck. I can create and open new files, but cannot open the existing files.
I copied the files in question to a PC and opened them just fine using Dreamweaver 8.02. I just don't know enough about the technical aspects to properly troubleshoot this problem. I already tried reinstalling also.
By the way, I am able to access, open and edit my files from the remote server using my PC and version 8.02.
Any ideas?

It seems this is a known issue with Dreamweaver. I was able to access the files just fine by deselecting "display external links" in the view menu. Strange that I did not have to do this before.
For anyone interested, here are some links about this: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=18 9&threadid=1262486&highlight_key=y&keyword1=design%20mode and http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401608&sliceId=1

DW CS3 no longer opens files from SourceSafe

Dreamweaver CS3 no longer opens files from Visual SourcesSafe
2005 when you right-click and choose to View with DW, even if DW is
the registered application.
DW receives the focus, but nothing happens.
This used to function with DW 8. I have tried it on two
machines, both of which were fresh installs, so could not be
conflicting with DW 8 in anyway.
Is this a known bug?

Thanks,

You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.

I have a problem - the program QuickTime player longer open files - gororit that codec for the opening of the program at all of the files that I opened have the extension avi. tried to remove a program, it is impossible.I tried to load the program from Apple, reinstalled. but I was wrong still going on! what to do?

before using for all entries in, u need to check whether the driver internal table is empty, if it is empty, u should not enter into select statement.
if u wont use this check means, when the driver internal table is empty, the second select will take all the entires from the tables.
SELECT AEBELN ALIFNR AKNUMV BVGABE BEBELP BGJAHR B~BELNR
        FROM EKKO AS A
        INNER JOIN EKBE AS B ON BEBELN = AEBELN
        INTO CORRESPONDING
        FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB WHERE B~VGABE = '2'.
if itab[] is not initial.
   SELECT EKPOEBELN EKPOMATNR EKPOTXZ01 EKPOWERKS EKPO~NETWR

      FROM EKPO
      INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB1
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ITAB

I hope this will help u.

Dreamweaver CS3 Stalling when opening html files

Hello,
I have Dreamweaver CS3 running Mac OS X 10.5.2 on a new Mac
Pro, and have had no problems until now. All of a sudden,
Dreamweaver hangs for between 5 and 10 minutes when opening various
HTML files. Once the files are open, generally it's fine, without
any delays or other problems.
The files are email newsletters, with some of the images
hosted on a remote server, and some hosted locally on my computer.
The only difference I can think of is that I installed Fireworks
and Contribute yesterday, but I don't know if this is related.
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be, or if
there is anything I can do to solve it?
Many thanks in advance, D.

I also work with Dreamweaver CS3 running Mac OS X 10.5.2 on a
new Mac Pro
and have had no end of grief... just need to glance at it and
it will hang...
Now I have read the following:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401608&sliceId=1
with a last updated of 06-18-2007 (boy people work fast
around here)
Have tried all the suggestions listed there... and some
more... even reinstalled Dreamweaver... removed all extensions...
even shifted some of our files from the server to the local
machine... still hangs... used IP nos in FTP addresses, Rosetta
mode (that is ugly), removed splash screen, stopped images being
viewed from Internet, reset config files etc etc
I'm not really bleating at Adobe, as CS3 was out long before
Leopard... or is it the Intel based Mac Pro? ...I really don't
care... I just want a service pack from someone that will fix this
nonsense. I have seen many forum threads from all over with people
complaining about this issue.
We also had a you-beaut Mac server installed for our local
files (also running Leopard) and our PCs could not lock/unlock
files (again people pleading for fixes from all around the world).
Now this was a real pain when working in a team environment with
Dreamweaver. Answer to this... install Tiger on the server and all
came good again.
The mess we have had with Leopard and Dreamweaver far
outstrips Vista issues on PCs... on that note... also we run a new
HP PC... CS3 products are running like a dream on that machine.
Even an old PC P4 266 we have chugs (OK slowly) with all CS3 Design
Premium.
So back in 06-18-2007 Adobe admits there is a problem with
the new Macs running Leopard and Dreamweaver... we even had our
local Mac folk admit there are problems (that was like getting
blood out of stone for that admittance)
We have lost a tremendous amount of productive hours over
these issues... can someone from Adobe please communicate with
Mac/Apple over these issues... or is it a case of "it is not our
problem, they need to come up with a solution..."

Dreamweaver CS3 quits when opening some .aspx files

Dreamweaver CS3 has begun suddenly quitting when opening some .aspx files - not all, just some. Other .aspx files open just fine. In most cases these files are virtually identical in every way from one to the next and still, one will open and the other will cause DW to crash. This problem just started about a week ago.
I have been running DWCS3 on the same Vista Ultimate machine for over 2 years now with Service Pack2 installed. Apart from these few .aspx files, the program is running as it always has... perfectly. Nothing has changed on the machine, nothing new is installed, and, as far as I know, no Windows updates have come through from MS.
I have tried bringing the files down from the remote server to see if my local copies were somehow corrupt but... same thing.
Any thoughts?

Dreamweaver CS3 hangs on "initializing files" in Windows Vista Home Premium

Hi,
Anybody else encountering this issue? I noticed this7 error
in Windows Vista Home Premium. When you launch Dreamweaver CS3, it
opens the splash screen, displays “initializing files”
and thats it.
Necessary Troubleshooting steps we’re already done to
attempt to launch/fix the program but to no avails.
seems the problem happens on acer computers with 4 gigs of
ram.
You can check it from this
Thread
Thanks! I hope someone from engineering can take a look at
this issue!

A little more on this topic with solution ...

Numbers on iPad no longer opens files from iCloud

My wife uses her computer to update client files for work (running Mavericks), and her iPhone (iOS7). The problem now is that she uses the iPad during work hours while she is working with clients. We have the original iPad, which cannot update to iOS7, and so it cannot update to the newest version of Numbers. The iPad no longer opens any files that she edits on her computer or phone because they are both updated to the newer version of numbers.
The iPad is her primary need though for the files to work on, so how do we get files to open on the iPad and stay compatible even if edited on her phone or computer. This was never a problem before, but now that iOS7 has automatic updates, her numbers updated to the newest version and she can't go back. Even if we got the older version installed...I assume that the automatic updates would just update it again.
Is there anyway to get this sorted out so that the files just stay in the old format? Or so that the original iPad can open them?

It seems this is a known issue with Dreamweaver. I was able to access the files just fine by deselecting "display external links" in the view menu. Strange that I did not have to do this before.

Photoshop CS3 extremely slow opening files

Recently my Photoshop CS3 Extended has been taking an extremely long time to open files of all sizes as well as to create a new document. It takes several minutes to open files. While Photoshop is attempting to open, the program is unresponsive.
Photoshop version 10.0.1
OS: Vista 64bit
PC: HP tablet
Ram: 4G
Processor: AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-86 2.4GHz

That's good advice from John there Liz and if you really lose patience, uninstall the whole thing and re-install it. You should get your original speed back then - I'm assuming that all your other programs are running normally.

Bridge no longer opens files using ACR!

I do have ACDSee Pro Photo Manager and perhaps this mucked with my installation.
I can no longer open pictures in ACR -- it defaults all formats to ACDSee Pro. Even though the preference is set to use ACR, no matter what I do ACR will not open in Bridge.
I have same problem with JPEG, DNG and ORF
How do I tell Bridge to use ACR again?
Thanks

Nope, its Bridge
I have all the file types I want associates with Photoshop CS3.
If I double-click either a DNG or ORF, Bridge opens Photoshop CS3 first and then opens the file in ACR
If I double-click on a JPG, it opens it up directly in Photoshop CS3 and bypasses ACR completely even though I have the preference to use ACR set
Right now, the only way to open up a file I want in ACR is to right click on the thumbnail and choose open in ACR from the context menu. The ability to double-click and open in ACR is gone at this point.
Does anyone know how the context menu "open in Camera Raw" menu work? Maybe I can trick bridge somehow

Dreamweaver CS3 crashes on opening

I recently purchased the Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium,
and all programs work fine, with the exception of Dreamweaver CS3.
When I try to open Dreamweaver, either from the program list or
opening an html document with Dreamweaver, it shows the opening
page and then quits, either showing no error report or the window
"Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to
close", appears. When I click on "view technical info" within this
window, it says that the following file, located in the temp
folder, will be included in the error report: 5d67_appcompat.txt.
Each time the error comes up, a similar file is named, but with a
different letter/numnber combination before appcompat.txt. I THINK
I have done all of the obvious things, including
uninstalling/reinstalling, installing the trial version of
Dreamweaver, moving the appcompat.txt files from the temp folder
(though I think they are created when I try to open Dreamweaver. I
have also completed the suggested actions on the Dreamweaver
troubleshooting page (
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15481&sliceId=2),
through step 17. Unless someone suggests something else, I will try
uninstalling/reinstalling Dreamweaver in safe mode next. I also
should note that I previously used Macromedia Dreamweaver 2004, and
had trouble uninstalling it, and thus went through the steps
recommended on Adobe's technote "Uninstalling Dreamweaver MX/MX
2004 on Windows". Any further suggestions on how to get Dreamweaver
to work?

That technote refers to the Site Cache. The Dreamweaver file
cache that
normally causes problems is described here:

Dreamweaver CS3 Crashing on XML files

I've been having this problem for quite a while now...
Basically whenever I try to open any XML files on our
webserver, there is a very good chance DW will crash. These files
are our framework's configuration files, so they need to be opened
and edited quite often, so this crashing problem is very annoying.
I haven't done enough testing to know for sure if the problem
is specific to only certain files (there are about 20 of them), but
I know for sure that I have only see the issue when opening one of
the XML files. They are all stored in the same directory.
I have already tried deleting the sitecache folder. I opened
DW, it rebuilt the cache, and then crashed again when I tried to
open the file.
I have also completely reinstalled Dreamweaver, and even the
operating system. BTW this is a faily new iMac with OSX on
it.

You are fast!

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.
Mary

I have managed to fathom it out.
