Dreamweaver CS5 won't load

I have been using Dreamweaver CS5 and now recently it will not load. When I try to open dreamweaver all I get in the menu bar is "Dreamweaver" under that "Services, Hide Dreamweaver, Hide Other, Hide All, Quit". Can some one help. I reinstalled Dreamweaver to try and fix this to no prevail.

I find no adobe folder in preferences. But i do find::
com.adobe.dreamweaver-9.0.plist
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Prefs
I tried trashing both, but it did not fix the problem. All it did was ask me to pick another browser.
Unless there's an easy fix I won't bother reinstalling. Regarding the comment from the Adobe salesman, I don't use DW enough to warrant buying a new version for $200. DW 3 works fine, it just won't load the help menu, which also works fine when I load it in Preview.
I know enough about computers to opine that there is probably a solution to this without having to reinstall. Like renaming the help file, or maybe someone telling me where to place it in the file hierarchy. Actually, I tried placing it in 4 other places. No luck.

  • Photoshop CS5 won't load since I installed Yosemite!

    Since loading Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 won't load and I get this window!
    I'm on an iMac 21.5 mid 2011.

    It seems a lot of people are running it without a problem, just seems to be me that has this issue at the moment, I have just got CS5, but I need it and can't afford the stupid leasing system they now have. I just want the product I paid for to work, or I will have to find a similar system that I can simply buy and use, not pay out for every year!
    I had this when Mavericks came out and it was sorted, something to do with Java, but can't remember what...

    Remove preferences on Mac OS
    Quit Dreamweaver.
    In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
    Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
    Navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences.
    Rename the Dreamweaver preferences file:
    Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs file to, for example, Old Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs.
    Try to re-create problem
    After you have removed your existing preferences, restart Dreamweaver. The application creates new preferences files, folders, and registry entries, as applicable, using the default settings.
    Then try to re-create the problem that you had before.
    If the problem was resolved, then damaged preferences was the cause.
    If the problem persists, then the preferences are not the cause and you can replace the original preferences.
    To replace the original preferences:
    Quit dreamweaver.
    Delete the new preferences folder and restore the original name of the previous folder.

    Hi, pmajor. Welcome to the Adobe user-to-user forums!
    I noticed that your error report indicates that you are using build 4909 of Dreamweaver CS5, which is the release version. There have been some updates since, so I would suggest that you install the latest, 11.0.4 (build 4993), and then see if the problem persists.
    You can get the latest update by going to Help > Updates in Dreamweaver, or by downloading it from the following page and then installing it: http://adobe.ly/DWUpdates

  • CS5 won't load on my New Windows 8 computer

    My computer was fried by lightening and I bought a new Windows 8 computer.  I have CS5, but it won't load.  The disc doesn't automatically start in the drive, and when I look at the files on the disc, I cannot locate a setup, install, or .exe file.  Any suggestions?

    I wouldn't count on CS5 working with Win 8 but in this case you may have
    a bad disk (or you're using the content disk). You can download the
    installer from here:
    http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    Follow the directions EXACTLY or it won't work. You can use your serial
    number to activate it.

  • CS3/Dreamweaver 9 won't load

    I've had the CS3 version of Dreamweaver on my computer for a while now, but all of a sudden the program won't load when I click the icon to start it. I'll get the hourglass for a second and then nothing, just a regular mouse pointer.
    I used the disc to reinstall it and fix any errors, but the same thing happens.
    Looking at the FAQ I've deleted a corrupted cache file and the only file that could be causing the 8KB bug is the 32KB HTML "Configuration Read Me" file.
    So the question is -- what can I do to get Dreamweaver to work again? Do I delete the read me since it's the only file that could be causing the 8KB bug or do I do something else?
    The system info: Windows XP-Service Pack 2, all the updates are current, firewall/virus scan is Kaspersky 8.0 (Dreamweaver and other Adobe products have full access/all permissions), 1GB RAM.
    Thank you.

    Hi Jessica,
    Can you check the Help menu and sign in information?
    If your Adobe id is shown there, then please try below steps once
    1. Sign out from DW (Using Help menu > sign out)
    2. Quit Dreamweaver
    3. Wait for 1 minute and restart Dreamweaver
    See if this helps. Also share Help > About Dreamweaver snapshot and error snapshot as well.
    Thanks,

  • Dreamweaver CS5 suddenly not loading my flash bits locally..

    I am sure this is a setting tweak that either I messed up or ... no I must have messed it up but...
    Suddenly when I go to edit XML pages it won't display the flash properly in Live View.  Initally it was giving me the Adobe Flash Security Alert,
    Loads fine on the site servers but now won't load locally.  Holds true with all XML sites.
    Suggestions?

    Do a clean re-install. Export your site definition settings and backup your preferences before you run this utility.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 won't open any files from a project

    Hi,
    I'm working on a simple website. I work on it from 2 different locations (home and work), and the files are stored on a removable USB disk. The problem is that for some reason Dreamweaver won't open any files made on the other computer. It shows the sitemap, eveything. But when I click on a file, nothing happens.
    I've tried a couple of things:
    1. recreate the site in the site manager - still the same problem
    2. remove the preference folder - still the same problem
    The only solution is that I have to copy the files to my desktop, recreate the website in the sitemanager and then it works. But only if I copy the files to my desktop, any other location on my HD (not the removable USB disk) simply doesn't work.
    Does anybody know why this happens? Or even better, does anybody have a tip of how to workaround this problem?
    thanks!

    The D600 was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and later - not CS5 unfortunately.

    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all D600 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS5

  • Dreamweaver CS5 won't open on Windows 7

    Hello all. I installed CS5 Web Premium on a Windows 7 machine. Every CS5 application works except for Dreamweaver. I tried replacing, renaming and removing the "updaternotifications.dll" file and the application still won't open. I also disabled the registry key that gives Adobe CS5 the ability to automatically search for updates. Please help.

    Hey rcshield thanks for your help.
    I managed to find a solution in a different adobe forum:

    "Windows 7 users' possible fix
    Hi all Win7 users of DW CS5 that dies after the splash screen.  You might want to try recreating your DW preferences as described here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/839/cpsid_83912.html#main_Restore7V
    It worked for me.  I think the problem was caused by running CCleaner which deleted the wrong registry key.  Bad CCleaner!  Be careful running those "helpful" system cleaners, folks.  They can royally screw up a computer if you trust them too far.
    Anyway, DW CS5 is back in action for me at least.

  • HELP! Dreamweaver template won't load in Chrome !

    Hi guys,
    I'm VERY VERY new to web design and to Dreamweaver! I've managed to somehow put together a template and connect to a remote FTP site trhough Dreamweaver. The site already had an index page using a different template. I created a new template then applied to the index page so now I have a newly design index/home page. It opens fine in internet explorer however not in Chrome! It looks like the template isn't loading in Chrome or something!
    This is my site www.sweetpeanz.com
    Can anyone help me?!?!
    THANKS!!!

    Two things for you:
    1)  why is template uploaded on a remote site?  Templates are to enable you to work on your desktop and then upload the completed site/page to your server.
    2)  Looking at your source code, it is still linking to css and js files on your desktop.  the links in question are:

  • Photoshop cs5 won't load, start or open

    I have a 32 bit windows vista os. I used to have Master collection cs3. I installed photoshop cs5 stand alone on top of it. It worked for about a month then one day when I clicked the Ps icon I was asked what program I wanted to start photoshop in, The same thing happened for dreamweaver cs3 and photoshop cs3.
    I ran a malware scan and when I tried to open photshop it said my license had expired.
    I took ps5 and all the cs3 programs off and did a clean install of ps5. Photoshop said it was a successful install. Now when i click the ps5 icon the hour glass/circle spins for a couple seconds, then stops and no program comes up.
    The adobe bridge and lightroom 3 work.
    I can't open the ps cs5 by file association or through adobe bridge either. It's like everything is there and ready to go but adobe doesn't want me to use the program that i bought a month ago.

    how do i get an event log for the event of not opening
