Hi,

I'm using Adobe dreamweaver cs6 trial. I open any file, then click View Code. The program is not responding. The error message "Adobe Dreamweaver cs6 stopped" and the program has closed.

I have reinstalled. It crashes DW to close again.

I'm running on Windows 7 x64 sp1 ultimate, cpu corei7 q2630 ,ram8gb ,nvidia gt540m

Thank,

Paul.

I just want to offer my two bits on how I personally seemed to have solved this issue.

Quick background; Dreamweaver would hang every 30 to 90 seconds for about a minute or two each time. It was possibly the worst, constant experience I've ever had with software; especially a piece of software I was using constantly.

This and other theads all seem to agree that the issue is with Dreamweaver "leaving this file" and getting data from outside of this file; like images, scripts, etc.

I turned off all the recommended settings, like not having it run java script, etc. Nothing helped.

Finally it occurred to me that a bunch of the sites I was working on were not defined as "sites" in Dreamweaver. I have been using filezlla for FTP and was simply opening them from filezilla. Dreamweaver was, I guess, treating them all as independent pages rather than part of a site as a while. I'm guessing that because Dreamweaver does not realize that that all the links on the page are local (which makes no sense because the images DO show up.... but whatever), it feels a need to scour the internet or something for these links.

But who knows, it seems to have solved my problem for now. (30 minutes in; fingers crossed).

TL/DR: make sure the page you are working on is part of a defined site by going to the "site" menu and going to "new site" or "manage site".

Had the same problem with CS6. I modified my registry as recommended in Nancy O's link to no avail.

Here's what worked for me:

The hang started when I switch sites and DW tried to update the site cache.
After numerous restarts, reboots, and the registry mod I got smart.
I went to C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\SiteCache
I deleted the cache folder for the offending site, as well as the corresponding .dws file for the site.
DW CS6 now works.

Hopefully this helps anyone else encounter the hang issue.

Yes!!! Thank you! It's been driving me insane and nuts at the same time and reading through all the threads of people experiencing the same problem and having to apply registery fixes, file dumps, changes etc... NUTS! Your solution worked like a charm! Al I did was go to "new site" and then added one called "someidiotnotdoinghisjobatadobe", FIXED... you can call it anything but I thought it was suitable at the time LOL

I am having this same problem trying to edit a wordpress php template ... I have gone into DW prefs and turned OFF (both either unchecked, or checked and in drop down 'disabled'); and it appears in CODE VIEW trying to edit the single.php template, DW hangs when opening ("not responding" error in Windows frame for app). I am running the full cloud license version of CS6 V12 bulid 5808, Win7/64, Core i7, 32GB RAM, SSD OS and WD velociraptor. It does appear to be a bug, as I never had this isssue with editing wordpress php files since 2005. This needs to be addressed in an update ASAP. I can edit in Textpad in 20 sec., it takes 5 minutes to deal with couple of copy-paste items in WD, which is annoying since I just paid full upgrade from CS5 to CS6 cloud; and uninstalled DW/CS5.5. ARGH.

Each time an edit is made there is a short buffer effect, as if the program is trying to do something. I first noticed this when trying to save something and the * stayed in file name, like it was thinking about the doc before letting me save. But today, it became a big problem with one file, as EVERY TIME I make an edit, it either immediately times out, or I can type in a couple of words ... then ... wait ... freeze ... wait ..... wait .... wait .... okay works again. Phone home making text edits? Very frustrating. Can't use DW to update my site today due to this bug.

It does appear that any php file with code that references javascript .,.. mine has calls to (1) addthis button, (2) twitter.com/share and (3) facebook (//connect.facebook.net) elements .... but hey... this is CODE view, why try to connect to those items in code view when trying to edit TEXT ?

BUG. BUG. BUG. Please fix. Make DW CS6 have complete *unhook* option from any "go out and look for stuff on web/net" ... options in DW6 panel obviously do NOT work in build 5808.

THANK YOU!!!

You might try commenting out the code to external widgets (addthis, twitter, etc...) as these are known culprits.

Also do the following:

Go to View > Display External Files and disable (remove check mark).

Use the instructions below and substitute paths to CS5 or CS5.5 with CS6

Hope this helps,

I'm having the same issue at the original poster, except if I wait a while it will end up loading. Any change I make requires a 30 second wait with the "not responding" message until it takes effect.

This is extremely annoying. I've been saving my money to buy CS6 Design Premium in a few more weeks.... now I'm hesitant to do so. Please fix this so I don't have to buy CS5

I'm running Windows 7 x64 sp1 pro, core i7 960, 12gb ram, nvidia gtx570, current updates and drivers.

Does this happen in Code View? Design View? Live View?

Some people have reported issues in Design View when their code contained links to external scripts like Facebook Badges, ADD THIS widgets, etc... Go to View > un-tick Display External Files.

Similarly, Live View can get sluggish when these same pages are allowed to execute external JavaScripts. What worked for me is going to View > Live View Options > turning off JavaScripts.

While I think you're on the right track, changing those options didn't help.

To help clarify on the issue I'm having, I'm using code view, and it locks up when I hit delete or backspace. I think it freezes for a while with other keys, but I don't recall now that I've stopped using it. It doesn't happen when I'm editing a new xhtml template file, but when I'm working on a file for my site that uses external CSS and scripts. It also doesn't lock up when adding new code, only when removing code.

Any more ideas?
