Dreamweaver Slow To Open New Site

Hi Guys
I have recently installed DW CS3 and everything appears to
work fine except for when I either create a New Site or try to
Manage a Site. When I choose these options it takes over 30 seconds
to bring up the New Site or Manage Site Box.
I checked DW 8 that I still had on my system and that too had
slowed drastically on the Create New Site command. I uninstalled DW
8 in case that was causing the slowdown but made no difference.
I have trashed the Configuration folder in the My
Docs/Dreamweaver 9 folder location but that made no difference.
Has anyone got any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks
David Roberts

I did try the safe mode and didn't work. I did make iexplorer my default and then back again to foxfire and it somewhat worked. It was work not bad (but not as good as before) until I rebooted and it seemed the more I used it the better it became. Go figure :)
Well I just did another firefox update to 4 and it works perfect and maybe even better than before. (or I got use to how slow it was :) )
Thank You for you quick reply and I'm very happy for the new update... So far so good.

  • Very slow to open new window

    How to fix very slow opening window. I have vista 64. Since the last foxfire update it is very slow to open new windows. It can take some windows opening over a minute to open. (yes minutes not seconds)
    Once a window is open I can open in new tab with no problem, but not with new window. (I like to have many windows open at a time)
    When l click to open a new window either from a link or new window, it seems that nothing is happening. Then clicking to open another one which seems to open faster. Then all of a sudden the first window decides to open after about a minute or so. Sometime it seems to hang longer than other times.

  • Opening new site in dreamweaver

    I am trying to open a new site in dw but I already have an icon/folder for "desktop" under "Files". How can I delte it and only keep the new site folder? Thanks a lot.

    Huh?
    Are you trying to DEFINE a new site in DW?  All you need to do is to create a folder on your hard drive, and browse to and select that folder while in the Site manager's New Site dialog.
    Or are you puzzling over the fact that your site list dropdown contains icons for your desktop, local disk(s) and mapped drives?  Just ignore them at this moment, and follow the suggestion above.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 crashes on new site

    My Dreamweaver CS3, working under Vista, normally works fine
    and I have successfully created new sites. Today, however, it
    continued to crash when I tried to establish a new site based on
    existing files a folder. Only after removing a large portion of the
    files was it successful. Once created, once I moved the files back,
    all worked well. Something is happening to the 'site scan'. I
    suspect it is a file it does not like, but I would rather not have
    to test them one by one. Does anyone have any ideas?

    You are fast!

  • 8800 Very Slow At Opening New Messages

    I have a 8800 running the 4.5.0.124 version of the software and it is very slow when opening messages.
    This only happens when opening unread messages and can take 1 minute+ to open. Once an email has been opened once it is instant. (Even messages that have only been read in Outlook). When it is 'opening' the message the device is completly unresponsive then will suddenly either open the message or if it has been longer it will lock the device.
    I have also tried using the 4.5.0.55 software and this still has the same issue.
    There are no entries being put into the error log while this is happening.

  • Open new site in same tab?

    Every time I open a website it opens in a new tab! How do you open websites without adding new tabs?

    You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (1)
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
    Some extensions that you can look at:
    * Tabberwocky: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/14439
    * Tab Utilities: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/59961
    * Tab Mix Plus : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1122

  • Doubleclick opens new site after about 60 seconds delay, IE OK

    Specialy long time to upload after clicking on links in Outlook Express

    Does this occur in safemode?
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in Safe Mode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • Freezing when opening new site

    Hi
    This is driving me mad. Im DW8 and recently when Ive been
    swapping between my sites in the 'files' window it freezes. Just
    stopps and thinks FOR AGES, sometimes it eventually works, after
    1/2 an hour or more, sometimes I have to leave it overnight. Is
    this happening to anyone else or is there something I can do, Ive
    reinstalled which changed nothing. Please help because I need to
    get some work done.

    Did you install or change anything on your system recently?
    If so something else may be causing the problem.
    Are you using the Mac version or Windows version? Are you
    receiving any errors.
    There is a possibility that the site definition file might be
    corrupt and not re-caching when you flip between sites. Have you
    tried re-creating the site files?
    Have you scanned your computer for viruses (I am assuming you
    have a program always running in the background if Windows)?
    Have you checked your computer for spyware?

  • Latest version of firefox is sluggish opening new tab

    This has been an ongoing problem on last several updates and definitely intermittent ,but seems worse in last two updates.Mostly when opening new site locations.

    See Help > Troubleshooting Information
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Using+the+Troubleshooting+Information+page
    *Extension List Dumper: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/extension-list-dumper/
    You can also create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    That will allow you to revert to the original profile if it didn't help or you are able to identify the cause.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Compared to google chrome, when using firefox with fb, it is choppy and so slow to load new tabs and general info. Google is by far superior wish you could make ff the equal as I use both simultaneously

    I use google chrome and firefox at the same time, logged on to different accounts in fb, google chrome functions smoothly, opening new windows or tabs or even just loading is quicker, firefox fills like it is working to hard, like pulling teeth, new tabs are slow to open, new windows are slower, just loading fb is slower, the whole experience is extremely choppy. Even when just using firefox alone, it is extremely choppy, not really sure how to explain it. It used to be the equivalent to goggle chrome and my browser of choice.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • I want to make a new site in dreamweaver and host it on business cstalyst

    I want to make a NEW site in Dreamweaver CC and host it on the Business Catalyst platform.But it seems the only way to use dreamweaver in business Catalyst is to import a BC template into Dreamweaver then upload it to BC. I want to create an original site and use the BC platform, is that possible? This seems like it should be simple and automatic, even encouraged. But as of now the only way to create an original site is to use Adobe Muse. Which is weird, seems like Adobe missed this one somewhere...

    I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

  • 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.
