Diagnosing such problems is very hard without complete information about
your computer and its operating environment. Can you please tell me -

0. What is your version of Dreamweaver? And when you right click on the DW
executable (dreamweaver.exe), then select Properties > Version, what is the
version number you see in the properties panel?
1. What is your OS?
2. What is your AntiVirus?
3. Is your AntiVirus doing realtime protection?
4. What is your Firewall?
5. What other background programs are running?
6. What Dreamweaver extensions do you have installed?
7. Are you *running* DMX from a network shared drive?
8. Where are your 'local' files? Are they on a network shared drive?
9. Have you ever been able to run DMX or is this a recent failure?
10. Does this only seem to happen with certain files/sites?
11. Does recreating the site cache (SITE | Recreate Site Cache) help?
12. Are you using *any* OS-improving utilities like "TweakUI" for example?
13. Are you logging on as an ADMINISTRATOR, or do you have admin
privileges?

suggestion- Look in the Options for the Anti-virus, and see if you can
"exclude" the macromedia folders from real-time scanning. Exclude the main
program one, and the one that's the Configuration folder for You as a User
if it's a multi-user os.

on the firewall, try turning it back on, and clicking "use passive" in your
site definitions.
or- if the firewall has decent options, tell it to allow dreamweaver two
way communictions, or enable ftp port.
