Has Your Dreamweaver CS3 Been Crashing Lately?

Dreamweaver CS3Since we changed our clocks for daylight savings time, my Dreamweaver CS3 would crash when I would open a page and click on the code area or design area. There is an alternative to reinstalling your copy of the software.

According to a thread on Adobe’s Dreamweaver Support Forums, the problem has to do with a bug in the time modification and editing functions.

The solution is to delete the WinFileCache.dat file and everything will work as it did before. Here is the fix, and I can confirm it works.

  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

Hope this fix helps!

My pirated version of PhotoShop is crashing, can you get me a fix for that too?

That explains a lot. I thought you were just using MS Paint for your site images.

Huh, I haven’t had this problem yet. I better knock on my desk now.

My CS2 or version 9 (whatever it was) had lots of issues that were quite irritating.
