Hi,
I use Dreamweaver 8.0.2 (no jokes please 😉 ) on Win10.
Since yesterday I have the following problem:
- I start DW
- the little windos shows what is loading ... at the end it shows: "Inilialisiere Farbdaten für Code..." (engl.: "Initialize color data for code...")
And then ... closes immediatly 😞
I tried to re-install / repair DW8, but the problem still exists.
What can I do?
Thanks!!!
Uwe
Code colors are stored in Preferences. By the looks of things, your Preferences file may be corrupted. Restore Preferences as described below. NOTE: to find the file, you must SHOW hidden files/folders from your Windows File Expolorer.

Dreamweaver 8 is not supported on Windows 10 and recent updates could have broken your installation. Your only option may be to run a virtual machine using Windows 2000/XP and see if you can get the old version of DW working in that. Otherwise, it may be worth upgrading or looking to an alternative solution for web development.

I don't think Dreamweaver 8 can be activated anymore. It's too old. CS1, CS2, CS3 and CS4 activation servers are dead. Adobe took those aged out servers offline quite a while ago.
Try using a modern code editor instead.

I'm glad it worked for you as a temporary fix. But keep in mind that Dreamweaver 8 is very old and should be replaced with newer software.
