If you have this problem and cannot see the AppData folder or Application Data folder; Go to the folder you are supposed to see it in and type ‘Application Data’ or ‘AppData’ at the end of the URL field at the top of the Explorer window. This should take you to the hidden folder.

Reason being that sometimes, your workplace security policy might prevent you from seeing these folders even though you are admin; We had 16 DWcs3 developers crying this morning before I found this solution. Thanks a bunch, all of you!

Same thing happened to me today, but bizarrely on XP but not Vista. Fixed it a treat, thanks

I have been up for hours trying to fix this, reinstalling and messing around with with the site cache with no success.

Sure enough the last file I was working when it crashed was css file at 8192….

Thank you David!

David Powers, thankyou from the bottom of my heart.

Here I am working on a critical project at 1am, and Dreamweaver just dies and won’t come back up.

All because I hit save on a multiple of 8192bytes.

Unfuckingbelievable.

Wow. That is unbelievable.

I’ve been struggling with this for about 7 hours; been on the phone with Adobe; uninstalled and reinstalled Dreamweaver.

Adobe’s solution was to create a new user account and use Dreamweaver with that account, which would have caused all kinds of overhead with other apps installed & configured for main user account. This appeared to work because I had created a new site with a slightly larger .css and hadn’t yet opened the 8192 file. I am assuming that user account would have had the same problem eventually.

Nothing worked until I read David’s post above and put some whitespace into my .css file, which was exactly 8,192 bytes before.

THANK YOU, David - you just saved me from a nightmare!
