Hi all,
Over the weekend I installed Windows 7 (on a clean new drive). I then installed Dreamweaver 8.
Everytime I tried to create a new Site or Import an old site Dreamweaver would crash.
I upgraded from version 8 to 8.0.2 but this made no difference. I don't think there is any need to run the CS3 clean script as this is a new/fresh install of DW8 on a new/fresh OS.
Can anyone advise, please?
Thanks,
Killian
Dreamweaver 8 was released three years ago, so it's perhaps not surprising there are problems on an operating system that still hasn't been officially released. Does Windows 7 have a compatibility mode? Try running it in XP compatibility mode, as that is the version that was current when DW8 was released.

Hi David,
I ran DW in XP SP2 compatibility mode and it's working fine so far.
The strange thing is that I have been running it on Vista for some time now with out any problems. I thought that if it works under Vista it should work under 7. Not the case.
Looks like I should bite the bullet and upgrade to CS4.
Thanks for your help,
Killian

I wouldn't jump to it. I'm running DW CS4 on Windows 7 Ultimate RTM and it's running horribly. Every 10 seconds or so the CPU on my dual-core gets pinned at 50% with dreamweaver.exe chewing up the entire 50% (or 1 full core of my cpu) for a good 20 seconds or so before it releases it again. As such, while I'm working now I'm constantly waiting for the CPU to be released so I can take my next step. Very frustrating.
