Thanks to everyone that gave help. I have found a free product called Kompozer that does what I need.

I will not say that you are a glutton for punishment, but are you sure that you do not want to fall into the same trap as with an ancient version of Dreamweaver?

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

Thanks for your concern. We are nearing retirement so just need something to last us a few more years!

@lindap92910171,

Do you really mean DW4 released in 2000.  Or do you mean Creative Suite 4  from 2008?

Either way, compatibility with a new computer is unlikely if not impossible.

 

Besides, discontinued & outdated web authoring software is no value to anyone in 2021.  The web has changed too much. Best advice is to get modern software that's compatible with your new computer.

-- Adobe Dreamweaver CC - https://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver.html
-- Atom (free) - https://atom.io/
-- Codespaces (free, browser-based) - https://github.com/features/codespaces
-- Nova (Mac only, formerly called Coda) - https://nova.app/
-- Pinegrow - https://pinegrow.com/
-- Sublime Text - http://www.sublimetext.com/
-- Visual Studio Code (free) - https://code.visualstudio.com/
-- Wappler ~ Visual Web App Builder - https://wappler.io/

Hope that helps.

Dreamweaver 4 is over 20 years old and unfortunately will not run on any modern PC that I am aware of unless you run virtualization software and run an older OS (Win ME/2000/XP or Mac OS 9/X (10.0)).

DW4 has workd fine for many years on win10 machines until Adobe decided it should not. My Dreamweaver Ultra4 has worked GREAT until a few days ago. Not on cloud, refuse to do so.

@Theodore G226967344g5h,

Adobe hasn't DONE anything to DW 4 in more than decade.  🙄

It's End of Life.
