Well i have been using Dreamweaver for a long time now and no problems. I tried to install it on my new laptop and it ran fine until i opened a document. When i opened a file in the split or design mode it has this error:



It does this with every file this error does not come up with code mode only the design and split. Can someone please help because it always says this two times and it says it 2 times EVERY time i click on the design mode when i am checking if it looks right. It's so annoying. I can't even check my pages without having that come up.

I reinstalled it. Rebooted my comp. Tryed to repair it. Installed the trial version. Looked in preferences to turn off the error. Installed the 8.0.2 patch and still no luck. Please some help here.

wow this has never happened to me b4. maybe your laptop doesn't meet the requirements. what are the specs of your laptop, maybe that could be the cause.

100GB HD
1 GB of RAM
T2300 @ 1.66 GHz

The specs are fine. The issue was on the install on the certain type of system. I have a VAIO notebook.

I am having the same problem. Did you find an answer or fix? It's not the computer I believe. I ran MX 2004 for a while then upgraded to Studio 8 and things were fine. Problem came after had to replace HD & Win XP, then reinstall MX2004 so I could reinstall 8 upgrade. All works fine on another machine. This must be something simple.

yes i did. All you have to do is delete a file.

Hope this helps

I have DW8 and I got the same problem started two days ago. I have tried all solutions I ran across from this forum and others as well but NOTHING worked! (of course I avoided de-installing and re-installing the software from scratch).

Here is what i did and worked perfectly for me (and it makes sense):

I renamed (for the sake of recovery) the folder "translators" and run the setup of DW8 and selected "fix" instead of "remove". The installer took a bit of extra time checking the validity of all installed components. Once the setup finised, DW8 worked with no problems.

Aparently, the "x.htm" files in the "translators" folder got corrupted. "Fix installation" forced the installer to recreate the "translators" folder and all of its contents.

At any rate, it worked for me and I hope it does for most of you!

Happy Dreamweav-ing! and Seasons Greetings to all.....Ahmad

I had the same problem.


First I deleted:
See:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration

That didn't fix the problem, until I also deleted the same file from

See:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\Configuration


After deleting both WinFileCache-7A9586CB.Dat it worked.

Dreamweaver 8 Issue

I deleted the FileCache file and now I'm getting a new error from the Date.Htm file. I put it in brackets [ ] because it would send this message first time.

[ var outStr = inStr.Replace(datePattern,'<MM:BeginLock type="mmdate" format="$2"' +
' orig="' + escape("$&") + '">$4</script><MM:EndLock>') ]

What do I do now?
