Re:Dreamweaver suddenly running slow

Hi

Can you tell me if you resolved this problem with Dreamweaver running slow.

As l cannot update web pages due to this problem.

I have re-formatted my hard drive and re-installed Dreamweaver.
Also removed ALL shareware programs but it still runs very very slow.

Any assistance would be much appeciated.

Hello everyone .. been following this thread for awhile as I try to figure out why I am having the same problem as everyone else. At first I thought for sure it was a dreamweaver bug ... but now I am not so sure ... let me give everyone my system details and then explain what I did to fix things ... not sure this will work for everyone, but it sure worked for me .... I am running like a champ now.

I am running a small LAN on a Linksys 4 port router with an uplinked Asante 10T hub for printers. Road Runner for internet access. We have two PC's, mine and my wifes, Dell(XP) and homebuilt (win2000) respectively. We are also have a Dual G4 500mhz running 10.2.6 with 1 gig of memory and a FP iMac running Panther Beta. All DW work is done on the G4 and all data is stored on the Dell. On the Dell the share for DW site files is mapped for both of the PC's on the same drive letter and is set up locally with open permissions for Everyone. We are running Norton 2003 Pro on both PC's and Virex on the both the Mac's.

At first I was sure that it was an issue within Dreamweaver ... but upon further reflection and testing ... I discovered that the problem went away when the files were moved locally to the G4. This narrowed things down to the LAN. From there I did some file moving via SMB to and from Mac and PC ... no major problems but slow... then I tried something someone suggested earlier in the thread... and it definately works ... exclude the shared site files from Norton. Norton activily slows down the interaction between the Macs and the PC's as it scans incoming and outgoing files on the LAN. In fact .. I have noticed a huge improvement in finder file refreshes and file transfers also. It means you have to be careful about what you move back and forth while unprotected .. but I am flying through my work now ..


Hope this helps.

I do not have any Norton untilies installed.

But still get the problem, any ideas as to what is causing it.
