Dreamweaver CS3 Locks Up – Recreate Pref File in XP or Vista

How to recreate your Pref within a Windows OS. Adobe seems to be a bit lacking in this area so I will give you a quick way to do it.

Exit Dreamweaver CS3.

Then find the “Configuration” folder for your OS.

Vista Users: Users>Ray>AppData>Roaming>Adobe>Dreamweaver9>Configuration

XP Users: C:\Documents and Settings\Ray\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9

Move the folder to your desktop and then fire up DW3 and it will recreate your “Configuration” folder with new settings.

This method solved my problem of DW hanging at a “Initializing Extention Data…” screen. A reader also said it solved an issue with site cache taking a long time to load. Email me if you need more help.

How: Does podcasting work?

I created a simple graphic to explain how podcasting works without getting into great detail with XML, RSS, and iTunes. I will be diving into those items at a later time it requires a little more time and knowledge I will add additional graphic that will cover those later.

You should just try to do it simple at first. Most podcasting costs are for a nice headset or microphone. There are several great headsets for about $80 dollars. The actual software is free you can use any number of packages.

One I recommends is Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ this program works for Mac/PC/Linux. I use Adobe Audition which is not cheap but does a fantastic job at MP3’s.

 

Catalog #240 – Glass Vista Buttons

Posted on: Monday, February 27th, 2006

I have been working on our 2006 fire equipment catalog CD for a few days. I decided to give it a glassy/reflective look. I have been running Microsoft Vista for about three months and have noticed that it has a very classic glassy style to the operating system.

I took a few of the great looking buttons and figured out how to replicate them in Photoshop so that I could apply them to my autorun CD that I do for every catalog. The CDs require a good deal of work in both Photoshop and my icon program. I have uploaded an example button that I used in the CD you can see the gradient blue effect that makes the button almost look like glass.

I really like this look. You can get a good idea on what buttons and web sites will begin to look like by taking a close look at operating systems. Vista is going to have a very clean and glassy look. This will follow suit as web sites and applications will begin to take on that same look.

This was a very quick turn around. I filmed three places using green screens. Then had 12 hours to edit and get into DVD format for the company to hand out on the last day. Wish I had more time to make it better but time dictated results.
