Dreamweaver "low on memory" error (yes, again)

Question

Hi all,
I'd like to re-open discussion on a problem that's been
highlighted on these forums a couple of times already:
Here...
...and
here...
...and
here.
...but as yet, no solution.
I have a new Dell Inspiron 9400 E1705 with 2GB of RAM running
Dreamweaver v8.0.2 that throws the error "Your system is low on
memory" (as shown in those other posts) when clearly I have a stack
of free memory.
I can make this error occur even when I'm running no other
apps. No other application gives me memory errors, including
Fireworks when it's stacked to the gills with big PNGs. Just
Dreamweaver, and, it seems, almost always when working on CSS
documents.
The other threads have been relatively exhaustive on what's
occurring, so I need not repeat much of it, but this error message
is annoying the hell out of me. After reading the other posts, I'm
fairly convinced this is a Dreamweaver bug.
What do you think?
I'd like not to get the standard plethora of "IS YOUR VIRUS
SOFTWARE DOING REALTIME PROTECTION" and "HAVE YOU GOT LOTS OF OTHER
THINGS OPEN" etc -- I've been using Dreamweaver for years and years
and I'm not a n00b, so I wouldn't be posting here if I didn't think
this was something bigger than just my PC.
I suspect, from reading the other threads, that there might
be a problem related to working on CSS files (particularly large
ones) combined with perhaps 2GB of RAM (because this .problem never
happened on my much lower-specced previous machine).
Would love to hear your thoughts, preferably constructive,
though humorous wouldn't go astray... ;-)
Cheers!

Answer 1

No answers but same problem... DW8, Dell Dimension 3100 with
2GB ram. I get
the same error, but my css files are not particularly long
nor my pages
large. Error usually seems to occur when uploading files.
Check of task
manager shows plenty of ram available.
Does not occur on my Compaq laptop with 1MB RAM running
MX2004, same sites.
