I'm just posting this on the off chance that someone knows how to disable this. Every time I preview in browser I get this really annoying "Background File Activity" pop-up. I'm not sure if this has something to do with how I have my site set up to publish to a local network or if it's just something they added in CS3 that you can't change.

I am currently using the trial version while I wait for the upgrade to come in. The main reason I want to upgrade is because they seem to have (mostly) fixed that annoying bug where it doesn't let you edit CSS that "maybe blocked by a template" or whatever (forget the actual error message).

Answered my own question - works fine when I set it to preview using temporary file. That's not a great solution though because then I end up with temporary files all over the place...

I have CS3 too. Have you noticed that DW is kind of laggy? Like when you highlight something in the source code, it pauses and then highlights it? Have you noticed any lag time at all when editing code? For me, it was so annoying I started using UltraEdit. I found this google group about it, but most of the people there are on macs.

No, I haven't noticed any lagging at all. Will try to pay more attention to that from now on Confused

I figured out how to get rid of this but I forget what the solution was. It was something in my site setup... the way the local server was set up or something.
