Dreamweaver Crashing Bug
Recently, I started to experience Dreamweaver 9 crashing frequently when doing specific actions on specific pages. For instance, highlight text in the index.php file may cause Dreamweaver to crash, while highlighting text in another file it wouldn’t. Actions like typing a curly bracket “{” seemed to also trigger this, but I could copy and paste it into the file without a problem.
Recalling having this happen with Dreamweaver 8 in the past, but not exactly remembering the solution I resorted to the BEST TOOL OF ANY WEB PROGRAMMER, Google. Doing a quick Google search, I found the solution.
In Vista, Navigate to:
C:\Users\{#username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
In XP, navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\{#username}\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9
And delete:
WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat file
This file will be generated again when you launch Dreamweaver, but whatever corruption or memory bug that was causing Dreamweaver to crash previously will have disappeared.
