Hi, Dreamweaver CS5 crashes each time I try LiveView also. Haven't figured out why.

Do you think it could be because I'm using the free download Trial Version of Dreamweaver? (It hasn't expired yet though.)

I had the exact same problem - iMac running 10.6.6. Dreamweaver CS5 had run with no issues then started crashing when any of the "live" functions were selected - live view, live code or inspect.

I had been pulling my hair out then stumbled upon your reply to the posting here Dreamerz123.

It then dawned on me that I had recently performed an update on my HP printer software and had mistakenly allowed the update to also install this photo editing or viewing software. I had intended to uninstall it but got sidetracked.

Anyway to cut a long story short - I unistalled the software, rebooted my mac, opened dreamweaver, loaded a file I'd been working on, hit live view and voilà - working again

So I can confirm that there is a software conflict between the free photo viewing/editing software HP offer (sorry I can't recall it's exact name) and Dreamweaver CS5.

And did you remove old preferences files, caches etc AND do all the updates to urrent version? And restart your machine BEFORE reinstalling and after reinstall and updating.

I´m having the same problem, I can´t use any of the "live" functions. If I click any of the buttons Dreamweaver crasches. Help me out, please!

Thank you Dreamerz 123, really, really pleased I stumbled upon your fix...My findings were also that it's the software HP Photo Creations that cause Dreamweaver Live View or Live code to crash the entire program.

Well spotted

Thanks

Thank you so much for the suggestion, it worked and gives me great pleasure that these discussions helps out a lot. And also its not only me but other also having the same problem.

Thanks

So happy - I finally found others that were having the same issue - any of the live view features made Dreamweaver crash on my system - I have Lion but has been doign thiis before I upgraded to LIon....

I uninstalled HP Photo Creation App and without even having to reboot - loaded a php page into Dreamweaver and finally I see what live view is supposed to do!  It works!   Thanks so much!!

Adobe really should post this in known issues would help a lot of people - anyone with an HP Printer - I just got one a few months ago when i bought a new macbook pro at the apple store.  They gave me this HP Wireless printer at a good discount to go with the new purchase.  The software installs when setting it up.  .......

Actual solution from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/914/cpsid_91421.html

Disable the RocketEngine plug-in.

The RocketEngine plug-in is included with HP Photo Creations. To disable this plug-in:

1. In the Finder, navigate to
   /Users/Your User Name/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
2. Move or delete the RocketEngine.plugin alias file.
3. Restart Dreamweaver for the change to take effect.

I think the Live View crash was resolved those people who upgraded to Lion by doing an Apple system update to 10.7.2. We had a separate thread regarding this issue, and both of us had the issue solved with this update.

Did you try using AppCleaner to uninstall the apps you added that started the crash? It's a pretty decent app and worth purchasing.

As for the second error. YEP! Very familiar with that one as well. I've actually started to get so sick of Dreamweaver that I use a mixture of DW and Stylizer for my CSS coding.

Just a follow up on this issue. I started noticing that other sites were just fine and began to wonder if I had possibly made an error just on that particular project.  A very close examination showed that in the site setup for the localhost, I had forgotten a second slash for my Web URL path. So instead of http://localhost/domain/,  I had errantly entered http:/localhost/domain.   Once I put in the extra / everything worked fine.  I apologize for any inconvenience from everyone, but report this just in case anyone else has a similar problem.

IM HAVING THIS PROBLEM..but i dont have any hp photo crap and i dont have any internet plugins.

its odd, live view works, until i try to go to safari or preview my site live in safari....live view, by itself works, but do much of anything in live view and dreamweavers going to crash. i will say at least i can use it to check stuff, but id like to work in live view...
