Dreamweaver CS4 fails to start - Macromedia Dreamweaver

After reading a few post and google search this solution seems to fix your
problem

It is a corrupted file called WinFileCache-[random_numbers].dat. You will
find this file on vista in

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration.
Where 9 could be different depending on your version.
Simply delete the file and restart Dreamweaver.

Hope this helps

Thanks for looking into it Frenchy, but still no good.

I have looked in the adobe roaming folder, the only dreamweaver folder there
was the CS4 folder, so marked that up as old (after I had uninstalled it...
again)

Also rolled back with a system restore to before Studio 8 was installed.

Unfotunatally I am still getting the same problem. Windows gave me the
"useful" message the the program is not working!

Any more ideas?

here is another post on CS4 crashing on vista. Maybe this one will help

It's seem that GFX card could be in fault. This post is really not that
clear Anyway here is the post
http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?p=309357

And this part of it. But you know what. it woudn't surprise me at all if
the video card was in fault.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX
GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
Radeon HD 4850

CS3 runs fine on 2 computers, never an issue, but it crashed the 6700 with
the 9800 GTX card. So I swapped out that card with a GeForce 8600 GT and CS3
works fine now, on all 3 computers. I'd figure I could stick the 9800GTX
back in once I installed CS4, but wow, crashes galore.

Ok maybe you bought a collection and not just dremweaver. But maybe my fix
is still good. In the CS4 folder is there a folder call configuration with
the file I have mentionned before. If so try deleting it anyway. If not
then sorry. Will still look more.

I am just waiting to get the trial version of CS4 master collection when it
comes out and will installed on my Vista test PC. Then i hope having some
kind of problem so I can start begin to troubleshoot. Until now I will keep
looking in others post to try and help.

I guess I should be more precise. If I had the same problem you are
encountering I would do a full search in CS4 folder for the file
WinFileCache*.dat and delete it. You have nothing to loose.

Plus here is a post if you have an Acer computer
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforu...&enterthread=y

And last it could be a conflit with another program, but the video card
seems to be a good avenue, if all of the above failed try disabling
everything that is not related to Vista operation with MSConfig, and restart
dreamweaver. I know this should be done by Adobe tech support, but hey.....

Still just rying to help

It is an Acer Aspire.... We have updated the eData Secure Disk software from http://www.egistec.com/oem-acer001/program-update.html and it has cleared up the problem.

A very big thank you!

Good catch Alain!

Dooza

Sometimes if Dreamweaver crashes during loading the SiteCache becomes corrupted. This can be fixed by deleting the SiteCache file at the location mentioned above. I have found that sometimes even this does not work in which case if you re-name the folder that Dreamweaver was last trying to load, then CS4 throws an error during loading which in turn stops the endless loading. Simply re-define the folder you are trying to load to the new name and you should be up and running

hello in the house ,

can i get someone who is willing to give me a Dreamweaver software which i can intall on my pc for u? .
