Dreamweaver 8

[ecntrc]

So when i go to open/insert a file, image ect.. the folder will open and then just automatically close before i can insert anything and shut down. WTH? I downloaded updates thinking maybe it would solve the problem? but nope.

Im not sure why this is happening. Is anyone using DW CS 3?

help!! thanks for reading.

I do use dreamweaver 8,
but I never encountered this kind of a problem....Did you run a virus scan and alike? Maybe its an annoying virus shutting child windows....

And you could try contacting adobe maybe they have a sollution

I have both Dreamweaver 8 and Dreamweaver CS3 installed... neither of which have had the trouble you describe...

I suggest removing it from your system and reinstalling it...

I use CS3 now, but Dreamweaver 8 never gave me this problem! I would suggest you try reinstalling like notjustgraphics said, including a restart between installs, if you use windows operating system.

Before reinstalling you might want to try one (or more) of the following (copied from the Adobe Support site):

1. Re-create the Dreamweaver preferences file.

Re-create the Dreamweaver preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause.

Note: Re-creating the Dreamweaver preferences file restores settings to their defaults.

To re-create the Dreamweaver preferences file:

1. Quit Dreamweaver.
2. Do one of the following:
* If you're using Dreamweaver CS3, rename the Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Prefs file to Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Prefs Old.
* If you're using Dreamweaver 8, rename the Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Dreamweaver 8 Prefs file to Dreamweaver 8 Prefs Old.
3. Start Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver creates a new preferences file

If the problem continues, then the Dreamweaver preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, quit Dreamweaver, then delete the new Dreamweaver preferences file and restore the original name of the previous Dreamweaver preferences file.

2. Re-create the Dreamweaver User Configuration folder.

Re-create the User Configuration folder to eliminate problems that damaged configuration files might cause.

Note: Re-creating the Dreamweaver User Configuration folder restores settings to their defaults.

To re-create the Dreamweaver User Configuration folder:

1. Quit Dreamweaver.
2. Do one of the following:
* If you're using Dreamweaver CS3, rename the Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/Configuration folder to Configuration Old.
* If you're using Dreamweaver 8, rename the Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8/Configuration folder to Configuration Old.
3. Start Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver creates a new Configuration folder.

If the problem continues, then the Dreamweaver User Configuration files aren't the cause. To restore custom settings, quit Dreamweaver, then delete the new User Configuration folder and restore the original name of the previous User Configuration folder

3. Re-create the Dreamweaver Site preferences.

Re-create the Dreamweaver Site preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged Site preferences file might cause.

Note: Re-creating the Dreamweaver Site preferences file will remove all site definitions.

To re-create the Dreamweaver Site preferences file:

1. Quit Dreamweaver.
2. Do one of the following:
* If you're using Dreamweaver CS3, rename the Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/9/Sites/Site Prefs file to Site Prefs Old.
* If you're using Dreamweaver 8, rename the Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Common/8/Sites/Site Prefs file to Site Prefs Old.
3. Start Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver creates a new Site Prefs file.

If the problem continues, then the Dreamweaver Site preferences file isn't the cause. To restore site definitions, quit Dreamweaver, then delete the new Site Prefs file and restore the original name of the previous Site Prefs file.
