Dreamweaver 8 and Windows 7

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.
