Why is DW Crashing on Me??

I've unistalled dreamweaver MX and reinstalled it three times and I still keep
gettting the same error!!!

"A fatal exception has occured" then it boots me off of the program.

It seems to be doing it when I open a .css file, but I'm not exactly sure what
the problem is,

any help is appreciated

Thanks

James

Hey Jov17

Did you resolve the crashing problem ?

No I still haven't resolved it...Do you have any tips?

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?

I'm see exactly the same thing. Everything was working fine. I ha
edited CSS files several times. Tonight everytime I open the file an
try and change the background color of the body, Dreamweaver MX (6.1
crashes. I installed the 6.1 patch, but it still crashes.

See below for details:

-

version number you see in the properties panel?
1. What is your OS?
XP Pro SP1

2. What is your AntiVirus?
None.

3. Is your AntiVirus doing realtime protection?
4. What is your Firewall?
Windows.

5. What other background programs are running?
MSN, MySQL, ISS, Airplus wireless, MotiveSB, etc.

6. What Dreamweaver extensions do you have installed?
None.

7. Are you *running* DMX from a network shared drive?
No. No network other than the wireless for a DSL connection.

8. Where are your 'local' files? Are they on a network share
drive?
drive C

9. Have you ever been able to run DMX or is this a recent failure?
Been working a few weeks just fine, then suddenly with nothin
installed lately, it crashes.

10. Does this only seem to happen with certain files/sites?
Just the one site. It happens on this one site where I open the CS
file in the edit window and then edit the CSS Styles tab of th
Design panel.

11. Does recreating the site cache (SITE | Recreate Site Cache
help?
Don't know what that is.

12. Are you using *any* OS-improving utilities like "TweakUI" fo
example?
No.

I'm trying to edit a site that using PHP extensively, and as far as
can tell doesn't have the CSS statically attached to the pages. Thi
may be what is cause problems with DW. I have to open the CSS fil
directly to get it to appear in the design window, and this seems t
be a problem.

But how else can I edit the CSS file in DreamWeaver
