Dreamweaver Crash

If you are like me, you run a number of applications at one time and have several client projects in development simultaneously Therefore, you might find it easier to place your system in standby when leaving your desk for the night rather than shutting down. In fact you might go weeks between restarts.

If that's you, and you use Dreamweaver CS3, you are about to find yourself in an unusual situation the next time you restart your system and open a file in Dreamweaver. When the mouse focuses on non-html code (php,cfm,jsp) Dreamweaver experiences a fatal error and crashes. the cause of this is because of some synchronization error that exists between the date that Europe goes on daylight savings and the date in which the United States does. So stop banging your head against the wall the fix is here.

Please fix this by
1. Closing Dreamweaver
2. Set your clock to the correct time if it isn't already so
3. delete WinFileCache*.dat from
C:\Documents and Settings\[Your username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
4. Start Dreamweaver and use it as usually

Enjoy!

Christopher Walker's Gravatar Not a problem. Keep a look out for my redbooks on ColdFusion 8 Multiserver Installs. It will be well worth it.

zzipper7's Gravatar Thank you! What a pain in the rear. I'm running Vista and CS3, so my .dat
file was located in
C:\Users\(my name)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration

When I re opened my files that were crashing Dreamweaver, they worked.
Not sure how you knew that but I was ready to call Adobe and scream.
Thank you, Thank you,Thank you,Thank you!
