Dreamweaver is randomly deleting my .css file and then crashing...need help ASAP!

I use Dreamweaver CS 5.5 at my job.  I just built a new website for the company using it and for a while, it was deleting the css file completely while in dreamweaver, but it had the little * next to the title like it hadn't been saved.  i would usually try to close it without saving or crashing it which is normally does after this happens.  So far, the css files have not been totally deleted...yet.  I'm not waiting around for that to happen before I try to fix it.  I've searched google and the forums and have found nothing or any related topics.  I had my computer completely reformatted and that seemed to have fixed it for a short time.  Now I'm on another web project and it's doing it again, but this site is bigger and more important than the last, and I don't have as much time to work on it.  Has anyone come across this bug at all?  I need to get this fixed ASAP...I would really hate to lose my files.  I tend to hit Ctrl+S instinctively these days and i'd hate to do that while it's been deleted.  not to mention the downtime of restarting Dreamweaver only to have it do it again 5 minutes later. 
Computer specs:
Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-Bit
Dreamweaver CS 5.5
24GB RAM
intel Xeon X5650 @ 2.67GHz/2.66GHz (2 processors - 24 cores)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570
Please let me know if there are any solutions to this.  Thank you!

Hmmmm....  When file content randomly disappears, it's usually a symptom of something much deeper -- like a nasty Trojan/Virus,  a failing hard drive, bad CPU or corrupt user account.
You can try the usual DW solutions below,  but I think you might want your IT guys/gals to run some diagnostics on your computer.
#1 Ensure your CSS & HTML files contain valid code.  Use the W3C tools below.
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
http://validator.w3.org/
# 2 When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
#3 If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences

#4 If all else fails, use the CS Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

  • I Tunes 9.0.2 installs ok but will not update music files and then crashes

    Installed the newest update for I Tunes and the install goes well but after rebooting computer as is required for the full update, try to start I tunes player and it tries to update the music files but crashes after it gets about half way through the update of the music files and then the computer wants to send this error message to microsoft: AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 9.0.2.25 ModName: uplaymeitunesplugin.dll
    ModVer: 1.2.0.5 Offset: 000030b1
    Then when you send this message to microsoft I Tunes closes. Tried to uninstall the new version but the older version will no longer update my music files and it crashes. Help!!!!

    it tries to update the music files but crashes after it gets about half way through the update of the music files and then the computer wants to send this error message to microsoft:
    It might be choking on a dodgy content file as it goes to do the library update.
    Is it always crashing when it gets to a particular song/video? If so, try removing that file from wherever you have it stored on the hard drive. With it out of the way, does the library update go through properly?

  • Itunes wont open/ file icon on ipod- NEED HELP ASAP!

    My itunes will not open at all on my comp. I downloaded the newest version, then nothing would open. I removed all versions and attempted to re-install again. Now, my ipod will not turn on. There is a file icon with an exclamation point. I dont know waht to do and I am leaving for a long trip in a few days and need my ipod! any help asap would be greatly appreciated!
    dell   Windows XP  

    OK-
    First, let's get your iTunes open.
    Click on Start, Click on Run
    Type msconfig
    Click on the startup tab (last one on the right)
    Click on "disable all"
    Click apply, then click close
    Go ahead and restart your computer when prompted to do so
    When your computer starts back up, you should be able to open up your iTunes. When it opens, close it again. Now that we know it is able to open, it needs to be closed in order to resolve the file folder with exclamation point error.
    Now, let's get that file folder issue resolved.
    Click start, click all programs, click iPod, click iPod updater, click iPod updater (again)
    Click OK when you see the dialogue that tells you what the application's capabilities are
    Connect your iPod when it tells you to
    Click on the "restore" button when it becomes available
    IF the restore button does not become available, and if the iPod updater fails to recognize the iPod, disconnect it. Reset the iPod by (making sure the hold switch is off) pressing the menu button and the select button at the same time for about 10 seconds, until you get the Apple logo. As soon as you get the Apple logo, hold down the select button and the play/pause button together until you get a check mark on the screen. You may have to try this several times to get it to work... and sometimes it helps to lay the iPod down on a hard flat surface, like a table or your computer desk.
    Once you get the iPod into disk mode, you can go ahead and try to restore it again. (Start > All Programs > iPod > iPod Updater > iPod Udpater) Click OK, Connect your iPod when it asks you to do so, and then click the restore button when it becomes available.
    If you're still having issues, try reading through some of the following articles:

  • Stalled Scrolling and Other Problems- NEED HELP ASAP! HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED/SOLVED, STILL NEED HELP.

    Hello,
    Ever since I downloaded Firefox 25, I have had an issue with scrolling. If there was some way to record this, I would, but at this time I cannot, so a description will have to do. If someone knows a way to record what is happening, I will gladly do it to make what I am saying easier to visualize.
    On some sites I visit, scrolling will be what can only be described as "choppy"- I will attempt to scroll down, but there will be a small delay before the page responds and scrolls down. Thus, the scrolling does not go smoothly. This mostly happens on sites (tumblr pages especially) with non-scrolling backgrounds (ie backgrounds that do not scroll with the page) on them.
    First off, I do not think this is a problem with any extensions, my computer, or the sites themselves. When I open the same pages in Chrome, the issue does not occur and the issue does not occur in all pages.
    I have tried clearing the cookies and cache, resetting my browser, disabling hardware acceleration, checking the plugins (problem still happened even when all plugins were disabled), updating my graphics card, and disabling website colors. The first few produced no lasting result/fix, and while disabling website colors did fix the issue, it made the rest of the site/other sites (ones that were working fine) difficult/impossible to use.
    One interesting fact of note is this: If I downgrade to Firefox 24, the issue not only disappears, but stays away, and does not occur.
    Another fact of note: I have written a previous thread on this issue, but ended up not getting an answer to a second question I had. In the first thread, I was given this possible solution, referring to a bookmarklet I could use/try: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/976244#answer-496960
    So my questions here are these:
    1) What is going on in Firefox 25 that makes scrolling choppy in that version, but not in version 24 or any other browser except version 25?
    2) How exactly do I use that bookmarklet I linked to? Where do I need to place it? How do I get to where I need to place it? How would it work? Is there a way to/Can someone make it into a Greasemonkey (I have Greasemonkey) userscript, if it does work?
    Also, is there a way to "bump" my thread without actually commenting on it?

    Bumping this. Are my questions showing up for anyone else? Because usually I get fairly prompt answers, but have gotten nothing on my last couple of threads.
    I'm sorry if I'm coming off as demanding, but I would like to have this answered, and it's frustrating to not have things at least replied to.

  • Itouch stolen and computer crashed - need help recovering

    Hope someone can help with this. My touch was stolen at the beginning of the week. Followed up by a motherboard crash on my Dell.
    I've pulled the hard drive and put it into an external case and attached it to my netbook which is an authorized computer. I can't deauthorize the old computer.
    So now I've got an iPhone4 and would like to get all my music, purchased and otherwise onto my netbook and synced with my iPhone.
    I did a search on restore from backup but didn't really find a solution as I don't have the touch any more.
    Any help on figuring out how to work through this would be appreciated.

    Copy the entire \Music\iTunes\ folder from the old drive to \Music\ on the new drive.

  • I deleted all my music files and then emptied the trash.. I didn't know that I wouldn't be able to play those songs in iTunes anymore.

    I deleted my music files and then emptied my trash bin and later realized that I can't play the songs in iTunes anymore if the files are delted. Is there anyway I can recover all the files?

    1) If you bought them from Apple you canprobably download them again.
    2) If you back up your computer as you should, they will be on the backup.
    3) If you stop using your computer this instant (because as you use the computer it overwrites deleted files even if you have lots of space), buy recovery software ($100+), there is a  chance you can recover some of them, though they may have lost filenames and will be in quite a mess.

  • Uninstall the application does not delete all new files and folders.

    If the user decides to uninstall my Air app, it does not delete the created folders with files in AppData. Another problem is that if the application creates new files in the folder Program Files/AirAppFolder, then uninstall of the app are not deleted these files.
    How to solve these problems, help please?

    Hi,
    AIR shouldn't be creating additional files in your program files folder, is this something you're doing programmatically?  If so, you might want to consider using File.applicationStorageDirectory instead given permission problems you'll have on newer operating systems.
    As to uninstalling all files (even the data created in the user's storage folder) this is something you might consider using a native installer to take care of.  Since the AIR installer is unaware of this data, it won't know to delete it on uninstall.  Instead, you'll want to create a custom function in a native installer that deletes these folders/files and then sub launches the AIR install/uninstall.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • ITunes deletes my iPhone 4 apps, then crashes and doesn't work

    Yes, my music library contains 70 gb of music, which I've spent years collecting, rating and making playlists with etc. Everytime I try and synch with my iPod it tells me the L: drive is not available, but after a few attempts it synchs everything. I try the same with iPhone 4 and iTunes deletes all the apps and then crashes.
    When I reopen iTunes it hangs my PC. I reboot again and it attempts to reload all 70 gb by reading the XML file, which is corrupt by this point, and has to go through each track to reassociate it to iTunes. Then the procedure starts all over again - I attempt to synch my iPhone and it breaks again. AAAAAARGH.
    I'm at the end of my tether. I've spent too many hours attempting to fix this problem.

    i should've also mentioned that none of these problems occurred until after in tried syncing up to itunes on my pc. I've tried normal stuff like turning off/on, etc. have not done a hard reset for fear of losing everything on my phone. Don't really know what to do.

    Hi, EJ13. 
    I see you are having issues with backing up you iPhone and have tried a couple troubleshooting steps.  There are a couple more steps I could recommend in the article below.

  • I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes and the other Apple programs wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system

    I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes (and the other Apple programs) wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system? Does someone know of some proprietory block (I think it is related to Quicktime)? Also, once I re-downloaded everything, cleaned everything up, and deleted duplicate files, I closed down my computer. When I re-started it, iTunes was "brand new" -- all of my music, organization, tagging, etc. was gone and had to start over. Idea?

    Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!
