Dreamwever 2021 Load failure

  • June 30, 2021

I have accessed Creative Cloud Desktop and attempted to Open Dreamwever 2021

 

Click on the Open tab,  Dreamwever 2021 starts to Initialise files and then just hangs

The next stage is for Dreamwever to flag "Not Responding"

This issue has been a problem for the past few days and I need an urgent solution -- particularly as we are paying for the service.

We have  a Windows 10 Pro machine less that 2 week old !!!!

Please advise ASAP how to resolve.

Thank you

Murray

    Try Restoring Preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver.html

     

    If that doesn't work, uninstalling/reinstalling from the CC Desktop App will usually solve the issue.

    Hi Jon.  1st comment -- how on earth could I restore preferences when the app doesn't load in the first place -- that aside 🙂

     

    I have uninstalled Dreamweaver and reinstalled via the Creative Cloud app but still getting the same error.  Just hangs and then throws an error. 

     

    So what next ??   This appears to be so flakey ??   Help - I need to get on and complete som design changes.

     

    Thanks

    Murray

    Did you actually attempt to follow the steps provided, to hold down a key combination while starting the program, or did you assume you have to open the program first to modify something in the Preferences menu? 

    If following the instructions doesn't work, you'll probably need to run the CC Cleaner tool to completely remove the program from your machine and start over: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
