Troubleshooting Dreamweaver (and other Macromedia products)
An older Macromedia TechNote (prior to the release of version 1.2) offers more general advice on solving crash problems: disable all extensions except for: Microsoft OLE Automation version 2.06, Microsoft OLE Extension version 2.06, Microsoft OLE Library version 2.06, and WinSock Lib.
Macromedia's Dreamweaver support web site has a whole collection of troubleshooting TechNotes, covering such issues as problems updating to version 1.2 and problems playing WAV sounds. Actually, if you have problems with any Macromedia product, check out their web site. There are many helpful tips to be found. For example, we recently covered another TechNote that offered the solution to an inability to play Flash movies in Netscape, after updating to version 3.0 of the Flash plug-in. In this regard, Richard Ellenson adds: "We had to clear Netscape's cache to make the new plug-in work. Reselecting the MIME type in the Applications Preferences window alone did not work."
