Upgraded to Dreamweaver CC 2017 - crashes every few minutes

[Guest]

I upgraded and now dreamweaver crashes after a few minutes constantly. I can't even use the application anymore

How can I fix this?

Have you restarted since installing the program?

If so, what do your crash reports say?
Are there any error alerts coming up?
What OS and version?
Have you tried anything from the DIY troubleshooting section? DIY troubleshooting kit for Dreamweaver

If you have it, uninstall Lavasoft's Web Companion.  It's a known conflict with Adobe software.

Your Windows Event Viewer or Mac Crash Logs will tell you exactly which module is faulty.

Faulting module name: VulcanControl.dll

Update your graphics driver.  That's what's causing your crashes.
