Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 7 Compatibility

When using CS4 (Dreamweaver and Fireworks) the "Properties" panel does not display correctly when running in Windows 7. The bottom half of panel is out of site no matter screen resolution and the input boxes "Title" etc are cutoff vertically.
Is this a compatibility issue, and if so, does anyone know of a work around?
Thanks for any help--Patrick

Try
CS4 Property inspector fields truncated (Windows)

Workaround
***Goto Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Display
***Select on the left "Set custom text size (DPI)"
**Set whatever scale percentage you want (DPI)
***Uncheck "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling"
Click "OK"
When you load up Dreamweaver you should see the whole Properties pane.
In the case that you don't after changing that setting restart your computer and try again.

Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 8

I have recently purchased a new laptop running Windows 8. I am a private individual who runs three websites using Dreamweaver CS4, one for a school and two a non-profit organisation.. The local view shows every file on my drive instead of only the files in the in the folders belonging to each website.
Is this a compatability issue?
Can anyone offer assistance?

When you set up the Local Root folder, make sure DW is putting the right path in. I know there is a glitch in DWCS4 that would put basically "on directory up" as the folder even if you browsed to the right place and hit OK. (up until a couple weeks ago, I was still using DWCS4 and fought this issue every time I made a new site)
Go into your broken site definition using Site > Manage Sites > Edit
Click the Advanced Tab
Look at the Local Root Folder text box. This is where DWCS4 likes goofing up. If your site's root folder was supposed to be C:\Users\yourname\Desktop\Folder1 it will likely show C:\Users\yourname\Desktop instead. You should be able to change that manually by adding in the correct folder name at the end.
Otherwise, the way to fix it when you're making a new site is to browse to the correct location twice when adding the local root folder during the Site Definition process. It will usually pick up the correct location on the second attempt.

CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility

Has anyone successfully installed CS4 on Windows 8? I am currently using Windows XP and received a pop up saying Microsoft are no longer releasing updates for XP after August and I am entitled to a free download of Windows 8. I am trying to decide whether to do this but risk losing my use of CS4 which I really don't want to do. Any advice much appreciated as not sure whether to just continue with XP. Thanks in advance.

If you search Google using the terms "CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility" you can probably find various results from both Adobe and Microsoft that should give you some idea of how much of a gamble you might face in changing your OS.
In my own experience, a change in OS has yet to be a positive experience... while most people loved XP in its day, I suffered years of poor performance with it as an upgrade from the moment it was installed and regretted doing it. Maybe you've had better experience and aren't as shy of it as I am.

HELP!! Photoshop cs4 and Windows 8 - Printer Not Found

Can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7. Setup error

I can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7. I get a vague error that says Setup error, sontact Adobe Customer Support. Adobe Customer Support refuses to help me. That really upsets me.

First of all I would like to thank the people that responded to my post. I am extreemly impressed with your eagerness to help and your concern for my problem. Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
I did not see a way to get a transcript of my chat. I should have printed it at the conclusion of my chat. Overall though, I think my concerns are with Windows itself and also how Adobe as a company handles a call from someone who gets an installation error that says "call Adobe Customer Support". I purchased this program to run on Windows 7 and I am installing it on a Windows 7 computer. I feel that if Adobe is going to give a vague error message and tell you to contact them, they should give me more assistance than "your product is too old, good luck on the forums". I could see if I am calling and asking them how to do something, maybe my product is too old for that, but I think their responce was unacceptable. I hope enough other people complain so that Adobe changes this policy.
Wow, this has taken an enormous amount of time to deal with. I imagine this is mainly a Windows file permissions issue, but I think Adobe needs to take some ownership for a client having to spend many HOURS trying to install their program on the original OS they purchased the program for.
I definitely do not like the way the Adobe Dreamweaver installer deals with errors. Here are the facts as I know them.
When the installer would fail on install, the subsequesnt install would fail, but it would give a VERY cryptic error stating that the install failed and I need to contact Adobe customer service.
In order to re-install I had to un-install. Naturally my un-installs failed every time, too. After lots of trial and error and checking the forumns, I found   the program install folders under c:\programs. I deleted them, re-booted, unistalled again with no errors. Then I could re-install without the vague "contact Adobe customer support" error. Note that I had to re-install several times to get to the bottom of the installation problem so this took a long time to figure out.
In the end, I had to manually delete files from C:\Windows\Installer in order to get Dreamweaver to install. This took a long time to figure out, too. It still installed with errors, but it said Dreamweaver would work with limited functionality. So far this is good enough for me and I am tired of spending non-billable time on this.
Following is one of the main erros I got during the first failed install. IF ANYONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHY MY INSTALL WAS FAILING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO ACCESS THOSE FILES, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE AS THE PROGRAM IS INSTALLED AS ADMINISTRATOR. Any thoughts???
Thanks again everyone who helped!

Go to this guy's profile, where you will see his blog address. Go there and you'll find links to old versions. Very handy! Make sure you follow the instructions about logging into Adobe etc first to the letter or it won't work.

Dreamweaver cs4 and css

I was using Dreamweaver MX2004 befor and now am trying to use Dreamweaver CS4. and not very familiar with it
My question is:
Is there is a parameter or option that I hsve to set in the Dreamweaver preferences so that I can modify attributes
to text without having to create a CSS rule? Because actualy, everytime I want to modify the appearance of text I am asked to create a new CSS
Tank you for your attention
Bert

I'm afraid that you will have to tough this one out and learn some CSS. There is no way to retrograde DWCS4 so that it works like a version that is 4 years older.
Once you spend a few minutes on this task, you'll wonder what all the angst was about. It's really very simple. And you will have to get beyond the old (and BAD) habit of styling your content using the Property inspector....

Trouble opening dreamweaver cs4 on windows 7

Hi, i couldn't open my Dreamweaver software cs4 on windows 7. I have tried to change the compatibility of the software to windows vista or windows xp, but each time after i click on agree for the rules and regulations nothing happened. Is there anything i can do to open the software?

OMG SnakeEye - you are my hero!
Here's what I did - I right-clicked the parent folder of my site in Explorer, selected Properties/Security and edited the permissions (some of the were Read-only). At first it wouldn't "stick," but I diddled a bit and was able to make the change and update all my files. I guess I'll have to do this for all my sites.
Before I diddled, I thought I'd check the computer administrator permissions, but it sounded too complicated:
"You must change the permissions to give the IUSR_computername account the correct permissions so the web server can access the database file. In addition, the folder containing the database file must also have certain permissions set to write to that database..." from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-79f 0.html
Is there an easier way to do this?
Thank you again! My migraine is gone!

Dreamweaver CS4 and Win7--Will There Ever Be An Update?

Since getting a new computer last November and having to use Windows 7 64 bit (which I hate), Dreamweaver CS4 will not show the properties at the bottom of the screen without it being cut off. Many of the features that are needed cannot be accessed at all because they are hiding below a solid panel.
The Microsoft Win7 compatibility site mentioned some time ago that Adobe was working on a fix for this. Where is it or is this going to be another Adobe fix that requires an upgrade which is usually the case? Anyone else have this problem?

As if I'm not already going blind. I had to set it to 100% because Windows 7 will not let me go below that even if you uncheck the box that says something about Windows XP.
Thanks, but this is no solution except if I change it every time I use Dreamweaver. I guess maybe Adobe will get their act together by the next version otherwise I'll find a better program.
How come I don't don't have this problem with other Adobe products?
