Has your Adobe DreamWeaver application begun crashing on startup? Mine started last Thursday. I finally had a few minutes to figure it out today. It’s the good old Daylight Savings Time bug from CS3 that is causing the crash! Yep, a year has passed and Adobe even released CS4 without fixing this annoying bug!
Problem: Computers are very sensitive to time issues. Remember that Y2K thing…

Solution: Delete your Application Support directory for Adobe DreamWeaver. See the path below; replace your username where it states “yourusername”. Launch Adobe Dreamweaver and start working!
/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4
Yes- The folder will be automatically re-created.
Cheers!
