    I used the instructions on using Adobe cleaner. This seems to have worked for now. Thanks for another idea though.

    Can you try logging in as another user on the computer to rule out user profile corruption? If DW works in another user profile you might have to consider migration to a new account to clear an OS issue.

    Try restoring preferences.

    Failing that, contact Adobe technical support.  It might be something specific to your system.
