Although many will disagree with working with Dreamweaver 9 , I used it extensively to do almost all of my website design and maintainence. It’s really useful when you are working with two to three hundred files as you can open a few of the all at the same window and work with it.

However , Dreamweaver 9 crashed on me last night , making me spend hours trying to fix it.  After reading a dozen over pages , I managed to fix it.  Here’s what I did

Re-create Dreamweaver 9 cache file by doing the following
