    Help My dreamweaver just went crazy

    mohnkhan Community Member
      Hi all,

      My dreamweaver suddenly went crazy. I mostly use ASP model, however.. whenever i double click any server behavior which is addt specific not the recordset one..
      dreamweaver can free for up to Max of 10 mins on average.

      i tried the reinstall, repair..
      then un install completely and then reinstall... of course reinstall of ADDT too

      current problem
      now after 3 cycles of uninstall.. most of it is working fine except for..
      when i try to copy a record set from an existing page, into a new page..
      i get a weird error....

      bla bla bla... java script error something XML...
      clip.copy() function....
      and still the freeze of dreamweaver is happening in some random pages..

      I will again try deleting cache, persistence info, and now possibly delete adobe folders from my laptop.
      My patience is about to expire this is happening past 2 days now..

      I though i was an expert but if somebody knows how to solve this..
      please help..

      thanks

          mohnkhan,

          Have you deleted the actual cache file located(in XP) at:

          \Documents and Settings\Design\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration

          Look for a file like this: WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat

          Close Dreamweaver, delete file and restart Dreamweaver.

          Any time I have wierd ADDT errors, I delete the cache and persistance info in the ADDT control panel AND I always delete the actual Cache file also.

          This seems to fix most of these java script errors/problems. You may already know all this, so I'm sorry if it's redundant.

            Hi Shane,
            I really don't know what was the issue.. and yes like you rightly pointed out.. I did a complete white wash of my cache and user persistence... etc..

            now mostly everything is working ok...

            but only after a clean re install I was able to weed out..

            C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MRP\z_XDel\ResentActivationTestHangsPC.asp

            this is the stupid file which if i open in dreamweaver it hangs my PC
            dreamweaver on my laptop developed allergy to this file, it happened suddenly some 3 days back i think.
            ___________________________________________________________________
            I rename folders or prefix to them to "Z_" which are classified as test server only, to check my concepts. so that even by mistake they don't land into production environment.

            __________________________________________________________________

            What i don't understand is that, why dreamweaver gets so slow when i open this particular file, i thought its a windows permissions issue. then i even created a new file NAME TESTActivationAttempt2.asp
            and copy paste all the contents from it.

            even this goes crazy....
            whatever be the case i am still investigating the matter.

            I don't want to panic on this bcos DW is working fine and 100% normal except for that file...

            There is something in that file which it does not like...

            Whatever be the case i will report back here...

            I am trying again copying contents parts and transactions, recreating each section just to see how it goes..

            Thanks for caring..
