Help!! DW keeps crashing

Question

Please help! Since end of September Dreamweaver has been constantly crashing. It doesn't seem to be caused by anything like saving or opening a file although it does happen occassionally when I do this, It's just happens randomly. The IT guy at work has tried everything suggested on the forum already and also reimaged the laptop and reinstalled everything, but it's still happening. I'm only creating HTML emails, so nothing too technical going on.

I've tried sending a crash report to Adobe using the pop up that comes up when it crashes, but never get anything back!

The IT has now got me to try alternative softwares, but none even come close to DW so really want to get it working without crashing. PLEASE HELP!!!

When I work on HTML emails, I create a Site Definition for each client. I then make sure all files necessary to create the email are stored in the Local Root Folder of that "site" so DW doesn't get confused. A lot of weird stuff will happen with the progrm if you use it without setting up Site Definitions...

Even if you never add server information, DW still wants all files being accessed by a given page to be within that page's "site". I link all images to local copies, then as a last step, before uploading to the mail service, I do a quick Find & Replace to add in the absolute paths to the images used.
