Help Please.  I am not able to open my (yes old) Dreamweaver CS5.5 (from the CS5.5 suite). I beleive it corrupted with a power hit while I was trying to shut it down during a storm.  I have tried reloading all the CS5.5 files from my external back up... but it still won't open.  PhotoShop, Illustrator etc seem to be working fine.  How can I get this working?

    Thank you for getting back to me.... I was able to get it back up using a "restore from previous version".  All is well.

    Did you try Restoring Preferences?

    Do you have your original installation disks and a valid serial number?

    If yes, you can wipe your computer of old files with the Adobe Cleaner Tool followed by a fresh install of DW CS5.5.
