Help needed!! Dreamweaver has ceased to load correctly

Hi (again!)

I'm having SERIOUS problems with Dreamweaver 8. Upon starting up the programme
3 days ago I was presented with a very worrying error!

"../Configuration/common/script/dwScriptsExtData.js - Reference Error:
dwscripts is not defined"

This renders the programme un-usable.

I've already posted this once and nobody replied :( ... Not sure why cause
personally I'd of thought that a broken copy of Dreamweaver was much more
important than tables not aligning!! Anyway.

I've been drastically trying to fix the problem I have a very hectic work load
at the moment. It's a nightmare!!

I've uninstalled Dreamweaver, then rebooted, then re-installed Dreamweaver.
that didn't work, so I updated my Java applet (not sure why!!) and no
surprises, that din't work.

I've tried installing the product from a fresh copy of the download and so
forth but NOTHING is working.

I seriously need help.

Could anyone please advise me as to what I can do to solve the problem? And if
you can't help, who should I contact?

Thankyou in advance.

You can try this simple fix -

Quit DW.

Find this file -

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat

(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)

and delete it.

Restart DW. Works better?

A corrupted cache.

Actually, now that you know the answer search for posts by me with that
filename in it and you'll see how often it's posted here.... 8)
