Opening a file opens welcome screen

This sounds silly and is not stopping me from working but is starting to get annoying.
When i right click or click to open a file in Dreamweaver, Dreamweaver opens and shows the welcome screen. The file is not loaded so i have to go back and click again where it is loaded after a seconfd attempt. This only happens if Dreamweaver hasnt already been open.
I have tested this with other Adobe applications and files open on first time around - what is the issue with this? I know its a small issue but is really starting to annoy me!
I am using CS6 if this helps.
Thanks,
Charlie

The effect is called 'the recurring welcome screen syndrome' and is caused by the friendly gremlins that constantly affect our daily computing lives.
My apologies, but I couldn't help laughing at your predicament while still sympathising with you.
On a serious note, have you tried clearing the DW cache?
If that does not work, you may like to try renaming the Configuration (e.g. Configuration-1) folder. In this case you will have to re-configure DW including re-installing your extensions. A bit of a bummer, but it helps me on many an occasion.

    Consider adding more memory. Be sure you have adequate free space on the hard drive - 15 GBs or 10% of the drive's capacity, whichever is greater. Do not run too many applications concurrently. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on resolving the SBBOD.
    Do some maintenance:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior.  Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

  • How Can I set QT to open ALL files in Full Screen Automatically?

    Am I missing something obvious here, or is this a major option missing in preferences of QT? I know that you can set this option for EACH movie in the Presentation tab in the movie's Properties, but I have 1000's of clips on my computer. I just want EVERY movie to automatically open up in full screen mode. This seems like it should be an obvious universal option for QT rather than handled individually for each file (with the option to over ride it per file if you wish for some reason).
    Plus setting the option per file is not even practical, because in order to save that option in a file that is not .mov file QT wants to convert it to .mov and save copy of the file...

    I am still pretty sure, say 95%, (do not recall perfectly - to many things on my mind... hihi) that the settings in Quicktime in the Preferences DID work before.
    QT Player "Preference" settings only control how the content is displayed in the "Full Screen" mode -- not how it is activated. Pop-up options include:
    1) Half Size,
    2) Actual Size,
    3) Double Size,
    4) Fit to Screen,
    5) Fill Screen,
    6) Panoramic, or
    7) Current Size
    The options are available individually for "widescreen", "standard", or "other" aspect movie formats. The only other method of I can think of using the QT Player to automatically open in the the "Full Screen" presentation mode would be using a QTL file linked to your original source file but it setting the "Full Screen" option is "boring" for you, then creating QTL files would be even more so.

  • Just installed this. When I open it a blank welcome screen comes up and when I try to delete it freezes my computer.

    Just installed Photoshop - blank welcome screen comes up and freezes my computer. Any help?

    Wait a minute or two for the screen to load the content, scroll to the bottom and checkmark "Don't show welcome screen again"

  • What is the difference in PS E12 between 'File Open' and 'File Open in Camera Raw' ?

    Both routes launch a screen saying Camera Raw 8.3 - Canon EOS 5D Mark III?
    Likewise on this screen there is 'Cancel' and 'Done' Buttons', what is the difference both close that screen.
    I am assuming the 'Done' Buttons saves any manipulation of exposure or colours you may have made? and the 'Cancel' just forgets them?
    Is there a manual for this product; that one can reference, screen by screen? explaining what each option actually does.

    Chucky-Tiger wrote:

    If you are opening a raw file (.CR2), both routes are identical, because you have to convert raw files in ACR anyway.
    If you are opening a jpeg file, you can open the file directly in the Elements Editor (Open),
    or
    you can open it the the ACR module. The dialog is the same (or nearly) as for raw files, with the same sliders and features, including some you don't find in the editor : clarity, advanced denoising...
    There are advantages in opening jpegs in ACR, especially because ACR works internally in 16 bits and in a wider color gamut. Very important for me is the fact that the ACR modules saves its edits as 'recipees' in the metadata section of the jpeg files, without changing any pixel value of the original.
    Likewise on this screen there is 'Cancel' and 'Done' Buttons', what is the difference both close that screen.
    I am assuming the 'Done' Buttons saves any manipulation of exposure or colours you may have made? and the 'Cancel' just forgets them?
    Cancel does cancel every edit you have started. You are back to the original file.
    'Done' saves your edits, as you rightly assume.
    'Open' saves the edits and send them to the editor for further editing if you want, for local retouch or using layers for instance.
    'Alt Open' does not saves the edits, but sends the edited result to the editor.
    'Save' is only used if you wish to convert the raw files to the DNG format.

  • How to open a File open In forms6i

    hi ,
    Forms 6i,oracle9i
    I have a table like this
    image(sid number,pics blob)
    and in forms 6i i have a display item namely Filename and besides a small button is there , when the user presses the button then File open dialog should be displayed and the user should select the image file and that path should be copied into display item. then automatically the Image file should be reterived in pics( as my Image block is db block).
    and when the user reterives the data, the existing images in the table should automatically come.
    I have searched in the forum, but very much confused about the WEB util package.
    IF possible send me the steps to configure the WEB UTIL for 6i or 9i or 10G.

  • Firefox on Ubuntu Linux won't open PFD files (opens blank tab)

    Running Firefox in Linux (Ubuntu 13.04).
    When I click on any file (or email attachment) that is in PDF format, Firefox opens a blank tab and will not display contents.
    I saw a similar question for Apple PCs but it doesn't work on Linux and neither does the Windows fixes. This has only begun with the last udate to Firefox.
    Unfortunately like most people, I did the dumb thing and update then went nuts loading add-ons so it could be an add-on and not just the update.
    The same issue is occurring on thre PCs (AMDS and Intel) - one on Mint and the rest on Ubuntu

    Problem solved - it was caused by an add-on called "PDF Download 3.0.0.2)
    To fix - in Firefox :
    Click on '''Tools''' command (top of screen)
    Select '''Extensions'''
    click on "'''disable''' button beside '''PDF Download'''
    Close Firefox and restart it.
    Clicking on any pdf file should open a new tab now and the document will appear there.

  • EA2 right click to open SQL file/opening file creates new connection

    EA2, win XP pro, sp2
    1. Right click to open an existing SQL file missing from the context menu.
    2. Even after I set my default path to look for scripts, it opens in Documents and Settings\USERID\Application Data\SQL Developer
    3. When I open a new file or script, it creates a new tab in which I have to pick the connection. In 1.2, it used the connection of the tab I was in. Am I missing a setting for this?

    1 I suspect the Open File item might be missing because it is integrated with version control and they have left that outUse the main toolbar / menubar Open. Ctrl-O also works.
    The local context menu "Open" was removed not due to version control but to reduce the clutter on worksheet's toolbar & menubar.
    Though it might have been convenient, I think when you get used to, you'll appreciate that we want to save the space for other really context sensitive menu's for worksheet.

  • Crashing if opening from welcome screen

    Hello,
    I have this issue pretty often. I will open Premiere Pro CS6, select the project(Project A), it loads and opens the premiere screen. The media is currently yellow at this point and then it crashes. Sometimes premiere crashes at a different point, such as before I see the yellow media screens.  However if I open premiere and open a new project, or a less intense project(Project B) that doesn't have any effects - that project loads. Then once inside premiere I can open the project(Project A) that was previously crashing. But to add more mystery, if I get project A to load using that method and then close premiere. Open premiere to the welcome screen and try loading Project A again, instead of it crashing with a crash report and no prompt, I get the prompt "Premiere pro has encountered a serious error and will attempt to save your project."  All of these seem to happen if opening the project from the welcome screen. And this has happened on two different projects.
    To give a little background on the projects, they are multicam projects - I am unsure if that has an effect. And the crashing only seems to happen on projects I have applied effects to. Typically just 3 (2x three-way color and RGB Curves) effects per clip.
    Lastly: this might be completely unrelated, I have gotten the corrupt project file 2 or 3 times now. These have all happened randomly where I have worked on the project for an hour or so, save it - and close everything down safely. Come back the next day and it's corrupt. I've started to just save all my .proj files to dropbox to combat this. But this amount corrupt projects and crashing when opening projects is frustrating.
    I have reinstalled premiere as well. I have deleted my preferences and I have started premiere holding combinations of Shift, Alt, and Control.
    Here is a crash report I get after recieving the prompt "Premiere pro has encountered a serious error and will attempt to save your project." If you need a crash report where I don't recieve that prompt at all, I'm sure I can get it to crash again lol.

    What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).6.0.2
    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)Yes
    What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".10.8.2
    What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".Apple ProRes (Proxy)
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?Multiple Error Messages, See above
    What were you doing when the problem occurred? See Above, Full Description
    What other software are you running? These errors occur when running other software or just freshly booting into the machine
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? None
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).iMac (Late 2009), 3.06 ghz Intel Core2Duo, 8GB DDR3 1066mhz Ram, nVidia 9400 256mb, 500gb HD. No third part hardware
    Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration? I believe so
    Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?No
    Here is another crash from recently. I can pretty much make Premiere crash whenever I want. For example if I just switch back and forth between a project (Without changing a single thing), it will cause the "A serious error has occured, we will attempt to save your project". This is an error report from that.
