I have found Dreamweaver to be a very stable application. From version 8 to CS3 to CS4. If you were really interested in solving your problem, I'd get rid of it completely and start again from the beginning.
I'd adivise: [1] Uninstalling it completely. [2] Delete any folders or files that might be left in the install directory [3] Delete any user preferences (in windows, they're in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration [4] remove any keys in the registry [5] reboot. Then you should have removed every reference to Dreamweaver. Then I'd advise starting again from the beginning. I suspect the reason your DW is crashing all the time is there is some remnant somewhere from a previous installation that's not being overwritten by a reinstall, or some corrupted file somewhere that's not removed by the previous uninstall. I dont suppose your handle is a clue to what's gone wrong is it? Torrent girl??
