have you checked the hang isn't caused by this?.... I've just posted this
Dreamweaver cs5 has a major flaw
When 'related files' is turned on (a feature we are paying for!) and a webpage has code similar to the following in the header
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
At first launch after quitting, it takes dreamweaver between 1 and 2 minutes or more to open one web page.
This is EXTREMELY annoying and unacceptable for software which costs so much money.
Many designers use jquery now and may of us link directly to the latest file or jquery library.
What's the point in having a related files facility if we have to turn it off in order to use Dreamweaver with jquery or any other external files!!!!!?
Adobe?
Hi,
I've the same problem that Deon Kumara has but I don't have file vault activated. This problem started yesterday after installing an update suggested by the program.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, contact Adobe Technical Support. Even if the support agent can't solve the problem immediately, it's important that you report these problems directly to Adobe. That's the only way that Adobe can gather the information needed to solve a problem that affects some people, but not others. This is a user-to-user forum, where users share their knowledge to help each other. It's not an official support channel.
I know that it's little consolation to you, but I installed the Dreamweaver update on my MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) on Friday, and Dreamweaver continues to work without problems. I always keep my version of Snow Leopard up to date with all the latest security patches.

We checked Dreamweaver CS 5 Trial on PC Intel Core 2 duo 6600, 4 GB Ram, Nvidia 7600 graphic card, with Windows 7 Professional 32 bit and 64 bit.
It works perfectly on 32 bit. It hangs on 64 bit, we uninstalled it on the 64 bit computer.
I haven't tested it on 32 bit Windows, but Dreamweaver CS5 is working perfectly on my Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. It should install into C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.
I can't explain why it failed to work on your 64 bit machine, but I've been running Dreamweaver CS5 without problems in 64 bit Windows 7 for nearly six months (both in beta and the final release).
Hi David,
thanks for the hint. It actually does install into the below mentioned
directory. But unfortunately it hangs when the image appears. For us
that doesn't matter too much. We'll use it on the 32 bit machine. We are
happy that some annoying CS4 / Windows 7 bugs are gone.

I ended up doing a bug report here, https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
and am going to call also.
Both Photoshop and Illustrator were installed with the wrong permissions for the Preferences - fixed those by correcting them. It was NOT the problem with Dreamweaver. While Adobe may have tested a lot, they certainly didn't test enough.
Good stuff, the more people report it the sooner its solved.
I found the hang on start was partly solved by downloading the jquery file and saving locally. Probably better practice anyway.
However things like google analytics etc still have to link remotely.
The biggest hitch for me is the related files. When using live view with stuff like wordpress which adobe are touting, take a look at the links to the related files, it thinks some are in a different folder to the one that site is saved in! So it then says it doesnt exist when you try to edit!
Like you say, not enough testing. Or should i say, not enough testing by those who actually use it for business!

Here is how i fixed it on Mac OS:
This fixed the problem on mine.
Note: I also deleted the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4 folder. I'm not sure if it's related.
This solved my "dreamweaver cs5 forgetting ftp passwords " issue!
It imported them again (I think from cs4 still installed)
If you have workspaces saved you must remember to copy them back in though when dreamweaver creates a new en_US folder.
thanks russ man!

If you have FileVault turned off and you're unable to launch Dreamweaver, instead of deleting all of your Dreamweaver CS5 user config files, try recreating just the DVADialogPrefs.xml file as described below.
1. Quit Dreamweaver.
2. In Mac Finder, browse to this file:
Mac HD/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5/en_US/Configuration/DVADialogPrefs/DVADialogPrefs.xml
3. Drag DVADialogPrefs.xml to the Mac desktop and rename it to DVADialogPrefsORIGINAL.xml.
4. Restart Dreamweaver.

Sadly, quitting Dreamweaver, removing the en_US folder from DW's Application Support, and re-launching does not work for me. Still no username and password Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I have several sites defined.
Same with repairing and removing references to the servers and Dreamweaver via Keychain Access.
This is certainly frustrating!
Best wishes,
Steve

Ah, found a solution at last.
It seems that after deleting the Keychain entries and the en_US folder, I needed to uninstall/reinstall Dreamweaver, then fix the permissions on the Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5 folder.
The uninstall/reinstall seemed to be a vital part of the "fix," and now my ftp server login name and password are saved across launches.
Happy once again..
Best wishes,
Steve

This worked for me too (not using file vault):
Here is how i fixed it on Mac OS:

Note: I also deleted the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4 folder. I'm not sure if it's related.
Yippe..this fixed my Dreamweaver hangup!
I am running a new iMac Snow Leopard...but I did NOT have the vault turned on..so all you running with the vault..this may or may not work for you.
Good Luck!

This worked for me, Thanks so much!
Try this solution: http://christierney.com/2011/01/06/dreamweaver-cs4-hangs-at-initializi ng-extension-data/
It is for CS4, but i worked for me. Delete the cache located here: “C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration\SiteCache”.
