Dreamweaver CS5 slow startup

I am using Dreamweaver in the CS5 Web Premium. I am using Lion 10.7.2. I am using a Early 2011 MBP 2.2 i7 with 8gigs ram and 120g vertex3 ssd with 28g free. It takes more than a minute to open Dreamweaver. Is this comparable to others' systems? I was having problems cutting and pasting and many of the message windows had buttons labelled "undefined". But after the last uninstall, adobe clean tool and deleting all user and system prefs and configuration files and folders, I re-installed and don't have those problems. However, the long start up time continues. Is there a log file somewhere that might reveal something? Thanks.

It has been several weeks and I am still having the problem. I have also discovered that my site won't remember my ftp user and password when I restart. I also have a long rainbow wheel wait time after closing the site setup menu. Maybe these are related?
Followup: I just deleted the key from the keychain access tool and rebooted. Dreamweaver now remembers the user/password. Dreamweaver now takes less than 20 sec to start and about the same for the spinning wheel to disappear after exiting the site definitions dialog. It isn't as fast to open as most programs. But I would suspect that the problems have been solved.

Dreamweaver CS5 slow to open or update all files

Hi all,
I'm experiencing slowness when i open my webiste in CS5 and it seems take forever to save when i make any changes. It used to take place instantly and now i cant get any work done on my website due to the load time. Yet, many times it also stop responding and close out on me when i try to do a live view of the changes that i just made.
Any help and suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks SnakEyez02 for the quick response.
I've not change any setup on dreaweaver, yet i have start working on a new website. I'm relative new to dreamweaver cs5, and i'm in the process of re-learning this program all over again. I wonder could that slowness partially caused by some of the rss feed or embeded javascipt on this particular website (www.maxdailydeal.com). I mean it's extremely painful to get any work done when dreamweaver takes forever to open files and save changes, yet the worst part when it crashes on you piror to save the changes.
PS. using Win 7, network setup to update website on save via ftp setup on dreamweaver.
Many thanks,

Dreamweaver CS5 slows to unusable and stops responding with small project.

Hi,
Version: CS5
Operating System: Windows 7
Processor 3Ghz Dual core
RAM: 4GB
I've recently developed a problem with my Dreamweaver CS5.
I have a very small project (currently 1 html file, 1 css file and some assets in folders) but opening this project makes Dreamweaver run at a crawl. Any time you click on anything you have to wait at least 10 seconds for it to respond. It also displays not responding at the top of the page.
However, if you manage to navigate to another project then it speeds right back up again! I have tried clearing all of the cache files from User>AppData>Roaming>Adobe>DreamweaverCS5>en_US but this made no difference. I've restarted the computer too. Nothing.
Any ideas how to fix this, because it makes this project unworkable.
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Anthony

Hi Curtis,
Thanks for your reply!
After trying what you suggested I initially had complete success, everything worked fine. But when I moved my assets over it slowed to a grinding hault again. However, in doing so I managed to find the cause of what was making it so slow.
The background image for one of my divs was semi-transparent .png file that was 1px by 1px. I think that the Dreamweaver crashed trying to render the div because it was having to render so many copies of this pixel. I'm going to try making an image in photoshop that is maybe 10px by 10px or bigger and tile that instead. Hopefully this will solve my problem.
I'm not sure if this is the same issue you that you were having, but I figured it might be useful to know anyway.
Thank you again for your help.
Regards,
Anthony

Dreamweaver CS5 Slow to Open File... Enable Related Files

Hello,
I have a page that uses the Fancybox script and it takes Dreamweaver 50 seconds to open this page.
This script requires jQuery, so in the head of my page I have this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
If I comment that line out, the page opens immediately. Also, if I disable "Enable Related Files", the page opens immediately... neither option is a good one of course.
It's my guess that dreamweaver is retrieving and parsing the remote jQuery file which is what is slowing things down. How to I stop dreamweaver from going after remote files???
I was hoping setting "Discover Dynacially-Related Files" to "Disabled" would do the trick, but trying that has led me to another problem that I posted in a different topic which is that Dreamweaver won't save the selection for "Discover Dynamically-Related Files". That option always returns to "Manually".
Any ideas how to stop dreamweaver from retrieving remote files?
Thanks!
Peter

Im on a mac with CS5 and I have started getting an issue with one of my sites where it is slow to open the files. I tried following the steps in the article you attached here but I can not find that preference file at /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences. In fact, I don't have a library under /users/my name.
I can open files fine on a different site, but for some reason just this one is giving me trouble.

Dreamweaver CS3 slow startup on MAC

Dreamweaver takes 5-7 minutes to startup on my mac while on
the PC it is more like 5-7 seconds. Why the drastic difference? The
server it is opening has a lot of files, but why the speed
difference between the PC and the MAC?

Dreamweaver CS5 slow to open CFM files

Carey, All,
Our whole team has problems when opening our (.cfm) files. Like the original poster (peterallcdn) we think it's because of related files...? In our case, we think it's our includes (fyi - we're using ColdFusion). When we remove all the includes the page opens quickly but with the includes the page takes over 30 seconds. We're working with only local files over a network as compared to peterallcdn who was using remote files.
Our includes have various elements in them including sql queries, javascript, other includes etc.
We've tried the Preferences tweaks and the registry edits listed in th is thread but our problem persists.
Again these same files, when opened up in Notepad, open instantly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jake

Hello, Jake. Welcome to the Adobe user-to-user forums!
30 seconds is definitely too long for opening files. Since the files are local, it is not likely the same issue discussed in the original thread, so I have split off your message into a new thread.
We are investigating internally to see if we can determine a cause.
To help get this sorted, would you be willing to share one or more of your files, and perhaps some Dreamweaver/server configuration details?

Dreamweaver CS5 - extremely slow performance over VPN

I work for a company in Ohio but live in Virginia, and I have to use VPN to access our company's network drives. I am running Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows 7, 2GB of RAM, reasonably fast residential internet connection. Dreamweaver is so slow over VPN! It takes forever to cache a site, to open, save or close a file, or even just to refresh the document if I leave the window and then come back to it later. Sometimes it's upwards of 3 to 5 minutes (or more!) of the program hanging while I wait for it to wake up.
I realize that some of this is affected by the connection speed at the office in Ohio, but is there anything I can do to make DW run faster over VPN? Copying the files locally is not really an option because a) it would take too long to copy the sites we work on to my computer, b) I don't want to mess with multiple copies of files and c) I'm not savvy enough to run a .NET site locally on my computer.

b) I don't want to mess with multiple copies of files and c) I'm not savvy enough to run a .NET site locally on my computer.
Not really sure about these points. Personally if I were in your situation I would have a copy of the files locally for editing and then set up a testing server in DW that connects to the VPN for testing and then one remote one to push to the live server. And are you using subversion with multiple copies of files? Is that what you are trying to say? Are there other developers besides yourself?
And 2GB of ram is not a lot on a Windows 7 machine. Windows 7 requires 1GB (32-bit) or 2GB (64-bit) out of the box and that's not including your VPN program, Outlook, Anti-Virus, Firewall and any other software you have. With the price of memory right now and I would personally recommend asking the company to double the memory up to 4GB for smoother DW operation. I don't believe that will help the internet connection, but it will make editing in DW a little bit easier.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 Slow down when minimising and loading pages.

Hi there
I'm having a really strange problem with Dreamweaver CS5.5
I'm currently in the process of building a CMS for a client and I am experience slow down in Dreamwever when opening and closing certain pages, it also causes slow down/hanging when opening and minimising Dreamweaver itself if these certain pages are open at the time. Which starts to get very annoying when you're swapping between Photoshop and Dreamweaver all the time...
I narrowed it down to a CSS file causing the slow down/hanging. This being the main stylesheet for the CMS... admin.css
When I comment out the CSS file Dreamweaver minimises and maximises quickly, and the page in question opens fast.
The stylesheet is about 900 lines long at the moment, but I've got php and javascript files (and also other CSS files) which are much longer and none of them cause slow down/hanging.
I've looked myself but from what I can see all of the CSS is valid.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks in advance

I can't explain this at all, but I've solved it.
I changed the style below:
@media only screen and (min-width: 35em) {
.ir { display: block; border: 0; text-indent: -999em; overflow: hidden; background-color: transparent; background-repeat: no-repeat; text-align: left; direction: ltr; *line-height: 0; }
.ir br { display: none; }
.hidden { display: none !important; visibility: hidden; }
.visuallyhidden { border: 0; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; margin: -1px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0; position: absolute; width: 1px; }
.visuallyhidden.focusable:active, .visuallyhidden.focusable:focus { clip: auto; height: auto; margin: 0; overflow: visible; position: static; width: auto; }
.invisible { visibility: hidden; }
/* Clear Floated Elements + Fix */
.clear {clear:both; display:block; overflow:hidden; visibility:hidden; width:0; height:0;}
.clearfix:before,.clearfix:after{content: '.'; display: block; overflow: hidden; visibility: hidden; font-size: 0; line-height: 0; width: 0; height: 0;}
.clearfix:after {clear: both;}
.clearfix {zoom: 1;}
/*END DONT CHANGE*/
To this:
@media only screen and (min-width: 35em) {
.ir { display: block; border: 0; text-indent: -999em; overflow: hidden; background-color: transparent; background-repeat: no-repeat; text-align: left; direction: ltr; *line-height: 0; }
.ir br { display: none; }
.hidden { display: none !important; visibility: hidden; }
.visuallyhidden { border: 0; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; margin: -1px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0; position: absolute; width: 1px; }
.visuallyhidden.focusable:active, .visuallyhidden.focusable:focus { clip: auto; height: auto; margin: 0; overflow: visible; position: static; width: auto; }
.invisible { visibility: hidden; }
/* Clear Floated Elements + Fix */
.clear {clear:both; display:block; overflow:hidden; visibility:hidden; width:0; height:0;}
.clearfix:before,.clearfix:after{content: '.'; display: block; overflow: hidden; visibility: hidden; font-size: 0; line-height: 0; width: 0; height: 0;}
.clearfix:after {clear: both;}
.clearfix {zoom: 1;}
/*END DONT CHANGE*/
Moved it outside of the media query. It was put there by mistake by the looks of it.

Dreamweaver CS5 fails to open XP-Resolution Here!

Hi,
We had an issue with Dreamweaver CS5 opening under a standard user on XP Pro SP3.
The resolution....
Open msconfig and disable everything to do with Adobe. Simple! Don't mess with config files, re-install; it doesn't work! Stopping Adobe things from running seems to so far.
Before Dreamweaver will show the green startup box and then completly close, no error, warning, crash, etc.
The proceedure as follows:-
Start > Run... type msconfig
Startup Tab
Untick anythings that has Adobe in its program line/path
Click Apply/OK
Restart
Tick the box for the msconfig window to not show, then click ok if it shows up.
Open Dreamweaver, worked a treat on ones I tried. This solution also works for Bridge CS5 not opening and crashing (Bridge has stopped working) under Windows 7 x64; even after Adobe looked at the issue and were clueless!
If you want any more info, let me know.

Sorry I can't be more help. This is a user to user forum, and I'm a designer rather than a technician. How about contacting Adobe Technical support?

Why would Dreamweaver CS5 become inaccessible on a Vista 64/SP2 system after install and reboot?

Here's the scenario:
1) I install a purchased, valid Dreamweaver CS5 instance on a machine running Vista 64/SP2
2) The installation goes perfectly -- no errors or warnings whatever. The proper startup menu items are created
3) I successfully launch Dreamweaver after install -- it works perfectly
4) I reboot
5) I try to re-launch DW
6) I get a bizzare system message saying 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.'
Note that my virus checker is Avast, and I cannot see that it has touched any of the Dreamweaver files, and further note that every other of the dozens of applications i have installed have installed and run perfectly.
What the heck is going on with Adobe Dreamweaver (Which, by the way, installed perfectly on another machine using this exact, same OS image -- i upgraded my hardware a while back)

I'm surprised you've never experienced this with other software installations. It's so typical of Windows' annoying UAC introduced in Vista. The first time you run software after reboot, you have to right click to run with admin level permission status so you can write to and save files on your HD which are necessary for the software to run on your system. Afterwards, Windows remembers and usually permits you to start the software normally.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 Crashing multiple times per day

Hi All,
Can someone please help me with this.
Dreamweaver has been crashing about 1 or 2 times a day and I can't pinpoint why. This debilitating my working day. I've never has problems like this with the CS5 version.
I am runing Dreamweaver CS5.5 as a part of the masters collection. reciently purchased from the adobe site. and have updated fully post install.
setup:
macbook pro 15"
Os X 10.6.8
8g ram
132gb free harddrive space.
I've submitted crash reports every time it has happened with comments and my email and no one at adobe has contacted me whatsoever. This crash report system is starting to feel rather pointless.
I don't know what else to include, but if you have questions just ask.
thanks!

NYTimes app is crash-prone for me too, even after the latest update to it and also updating my iPhone to 2.1. I had thought/hoped the crashes and slow updating of content on it were due to me being a long way from their content servers (as I am normally in Australia), but I have been in New York for the last couple of weeks and had the same issue there, even using the (quite fast) wifi in the Apple Store there.
Something I have noticed with the crash reports from NYTimes (which I have looked at on my iMac after they have been submitted to Apple by the sync process) is that in every one I have looked at, the memory usage by NYTimes at the time of the crash seems relatively big, so perhaps some data structure within it is running it out of room or overwriting part of itself during the updating - invariably my NYTimes crashes are during its (lengthy) updating.
Safari has always been pretty stable for me, but my browsing on my iPhone is fairly unadventurous (ie just a common set of sites I can check quickly every day); I read a lot more content on there via the NetNewsWire RSS reader (which syncs with my Mac) rather than really "surfing" a lot with Safari.
I'm afraid I've never used the Pandora Radio app (it isn't available in the Australian app store as far as I know). I did buy the "Tuner" application by Nullsoft though, and that works reliably for me.

Problem with Dreamweaver CS5.5

I have a proplem with Dreamweaver CS5.5 CSS panel. When you in the css panel box when you select and add a property, and then tab over to enter the values, all it does is highlight the box. In all previous versions when you tab over, you would be automattically able to start entering values without having to click in the fieild. Any suggesstions? This is becoming very frustrating, and slowing down my workflow that I have used since Dreamweaver CS3, CS4 and CS5.

Every Time I Use Command-F to "Find" On Dreamweaver CS5.5 on Mac OS X It Crashes

I never had a problem until about a week ago but now every single time I try to use Command-F to "Find" on Dreamweaver CS5.5 on Mac OS X the program crashes.
I've also gone up to Edit -> Find And Replace to try to do it manually and it crashes too. So basically I can't search and it's making it very difficult to edit a big CSS file that I'm using on a website.
I've already submitted like ten crash reports and can't find any info on Google. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update:
I cleared my Application Support Folder, Preferences, and I held the Shift key on startup. It cleared the glitch and I seem to be back in business.
