Dreamweaver CC keeps crashing!!!
Randomly, Dreamweaver CC pops up error message.
"Adobe Dreamweaver is not responding" with 3 option.
1. "Check for solution and close program" or 2. "Close program" or 3. "Wait for the progeam to respond". I selected the "Wait" option a couple times. Waited for over 15 minutes and it never recovered. The best option left was to "Check for solution and close program". The program closed and I lost all my unsaved work. This happens all the time. At least 2-3 times in a 6 hour session. About 6 pages open and doing nowing out of the ordinary. Long time Dreamweaver user.. Nothing much else running in the background. 6 month old laptop and it used to happen on my last laptop.
I'm only working with standard html files with arial font, not {}, not Fluid Grid, and no media queries is css.
Been working on this for over 6 months. Thought CC would get it fixed. The msvcr100.dll is the original version. Double checked. Been deleting the DW cache regularly..

Hi Preran,
Thanks for your reply. I haven't changed anything on the the boilerplate.css. It seems to be happening when I work on it a little fast. I was using bootstrap few weeks back and it worked fine expect for a little slowing down to render output when there are changes in any of the css files.
Dreamweaver also crashes while working on CSS file generated by Edge Reflow.
Regards,

The reason is:
a) incompetence
b) ignorance
c) laziness
on behalf of the Adobe team.

I have been using DW since CS3, and I"m on CC now. I'm on a MAC and I have the entire Adobe Suite. Without a doubt DW is the most buggy of all the Adobe Apps. It's sync is broken completely, it's search is broken, and it crashes randomly. Sometimes it crashes when I'm typing for no reason. Changing from design view to code view can cause crashes. Switching from one website to another can also cause crashes. Yes, it crashes a lot, for no reason. I've kept hoping that with each version there would be an improvement, but it never comes.
At this point I use it as a coding window, but not much else.

Second is Adobe InDesign. It crashes often when I put the macbook pro to sleep (by just closing the lid). Dreamweaver crashes every time I do that!

Yes, that's always been the case for me too, across many version of DW. I've got Mac Pros, and an iMac. On all three machines DW crashes on wake. Never sleep the computer with DW running. It'll crash hard.

We just purchased CC Dreamweaver and cannot even get it to open at all. Before I request a refund and return this useless product I'd like to understand if anyone has ever gotten this fixed. it doesn't seem like it from this thread.

Hi Mark (and all those that are having crashes with purchased versions of Dreamweaver CC),
Please send me your Adobe ID, location, and phone number over a private message. Click my picture and use the message option. We will get in touch with you for investigation.
Thanks,
Preran

My Dreamweaver CC keeps crashing, not responding. It has just crashed 3 times and all I am trying to do is upload two lousy files. Upon a click, or multiple file selection - every session DW CC hangs and crashes. Please Adobe, fix this mess of an application. I have been using DW since 1997 version 1 and for the past couple of years DW constantly not respond and crash. WHAT'S GOING ON ADOBE?

I have the exact same experience.
Adobe is not the same anymore.

DW CC is alarmingly extremely unstable on my Mac as well.
It crashes completely a couple of times a day, but frequently locks up for a minute or two with workflow-shattering results.
Scrolling in Design View is like some form of torture, especially with complex layouts, like fluid layouts that are supported by mobile devices over a variety of email clients.
(And speaking of mobile devices, the briefly-awesome Device Preview stopped working months ago, and I haven't gotten it to work since.)
Is there any possibility of Macromedia taking over again?

Fourth time crash in bast 15 min. I go to connect and it is NOT RESPONDING!!!! PLEASE HELP!!

Yep, it's crashing constantly when trying to upload files now and doesn't appear to be staying connected to the server since the new windows 10 and cc updates for me. I'm not sure which update caused it... but it's VERY annoying. The twitter account didn't know about this issue yet... but windows 10 is so new and maybe it's a windows 10 glitch. I hope they fix this soon. If not I'll cancel. I LOVE dreamweaver and have been using it for a decade, but I'm not sure how much more I can take. 30-90 minutes to upload 1 file? and if it crashes you have to alter the file in order for it to upload correctly? seriously? Ugh.

I updated my CC again last night and haven't had a crash since. *fingers crossed*

I'm late the the party, but wanted to jump in. I get the same thing as an earlier poster did: working for just a few minutes, with 2 or 3 files at most open in code view (I never use live or design view). Simply click one and the screen gets the white washout and hangs for several minutes before the "close or wait" option box appears. This is DW CC 2015 and a relatively new installation. But this has happened in the past with other machines/installations.

Hi,
I'm also late for the party it seems. Lately I've been getting "Dreamweaver not responding" and have to force quit the program and restart. Plus sometimes in the template file one is not able to edit in the .DWT file. ????? Is it still true that the templates can only manage 50 docs under it?!!!! I thought this was supposed to be a professional software. You don't expect people to just create max 50 pages on a website, surely????

As far as I know, there's no hard limit on the number of pages that can be children of a .dwt Template, however, long before you reach that point, the use of server side includes is a much simpler proposition with fewer drawbacks and potential failure points.
In all honesty, if you're using .dwt's for anything over a roughly 10-15 page static website, you're doing it the hard way. SSI and PHP includes take out most of the monotonous work involved in .dwts and they're extremely easy to work with once you understand how they function. "Change one file, upload it and done" rather than "change the dwt file, hope you don't have a code error anywhere that cause the parent-child propagation to fail, upload all of the changed files".

Thanks. That will have to be the next project. Does it mean diving into PHP as a separate subject rather than an extension of Dreamweaver? Any tips for tutorials?
Thanks.

Oddly enough, you need to know next to zero PHP to use PHP includes. You just need to make sure PHP is installed on your server. To use php includes there are 3 main things you need to know and they're all pretty simple.
1. The actual include file is only the repetitive html you want to insert on each page, not a fully formed html page in and of itself. For example, unless you're using an include to insert <head> contents into your pages, that tag won't be in your code. Here's an example of the complete html of an include file...
<p>Copyright 2015 All Rights Reserved</p>
That would be the entire code of a file called copyright.php (typically your includes will be longer than a single line).
2. The include snippet that goes into the pages of your site (and is replaced by the insert file's html) could be formatted like so:
<?php include 'includes/copyright.php';?>
3. Pages that have php includes in them, by default, need to have the .php file extension. Servers aren't normally set up to parse php in files without the .php extension.

Thanks a bunch! Will look into that.

Just thought I chime in here since I am also experiencing issues similar to previous posts. Dreamweaver CC 2015 falls into a non-responsive state for 5 - 10+ minutes when I close it after it has been open for awhile. It closes right away if it has only been open for a couple of hours. If I kill Dreamweaver while in the non-responsive state, it then takes 5 -10+ minutes to open. If I wait for Dreamweaver to close on its own, it opens up right away. It surprises me that this continues to be issue since has been around for many months and has been reported by many users.

My problem had disappeared until recently. And now it is back again. This is what I know:
It has helped me alot when I realised not to touch it for a while. Even if I switch screens to other applications.
Hope this helps - So I suggest: *** start the search and use that time to take a break maybe ***
Let me know if it works.....

Hi Everyone,
I thought I would post that I had a similar issue with Dreamweaver. When I would open and scroll HTML files, Dreamweaver would lock up for a short period of time. It would than also seem to lock up randomly for short periods of time while I edited the file. I ended up switching the design view to "Design" and not "Live" (even though I never use the view). Also, under "View" > "Live View Options", I unchecked "Highlight Changes in Live Code" and "Automatically Sync Remote Files".
I'm not sure if my fix applies to others within this thread, but I thought I'd share anyways.
Thanks,
Andrew

I have the same issue and Adobe is in complete denial, i finally spoke to support on the phone and they say there is no known issue of dreamweaver crashing.
it has become completely unusable.
if you try to call support you get attitude and transferred back and forth endlessly.

I found only one solution.
1. Open Dreamweaver file (index.html - for example)
2. Work on it, modification etc.
3. Save it
4. Upload on project server
5. Close page (so, now dreamweaver is open, but with no page open inside)
6. Check how the page looks in browser, for example
7. Open again the page, make modification, save, upload an close again.
If I keep the page open and change to chrome browser or something else, when I come back to dreamweaver it will be "not responding".
I have this kind of problem with some projects, not with all my projects. Usually, if I work with some templates bought from the internet I have this problem.
