I'm going to guess it's your Flash banner ad causing the crash. Try removing it.

Thank you for your prompt response. However, I have tried removing that. In fact I have tried removing any chunk of code that looks like it could be suspicious but still to no avail. It would seem that there is something inherent embedded into this paticular file!? Not possible sureley!?

I can't find anything unusual about the file itself. It's probably a problem with the software that crashes, since opening a sane file (or even a large or corrupt file) should never trigger a fatal error. You might want to consider using some other application instead.
If you want to keep trying to isolate the problem, you can try a few other things. Copy the source code text in the HTML file and paste it into a new file within your application. Save it and see if that also causes a crash. If it doesn't, then the original problem could have been because of a corruption or hardware flaw, or some faulty metadata handling. If it does crash again, try rebuilding the source code incrementally from scratch until you get crash. In either case, you might have an encoding problem too, so check out what character encoding is in use and try another.

Thank you
Yes through process of elimination I have resovled the issue by manually rebuilding the code. however, I am still not clear what has caused it, but anyway, many many thanks for taking the time to reply to my posts, its much appreciated:)

Funny one this, if the problem appears consistently with that file you should report the problem to Adobe, after all you paid for the software: if there's a problem they should fix it!

Umm, the file attached is pretty much the result after stripping away anything that could look suspect such as broken references, external links etc, I also removed the flash embed! It does crash, it is definetley this file. I have reported this to Adobe, who are getting back to me. To be fair, I find Adobe support excellent so Im expecting them to easily be able to tell what im doing wrong. I dont think its the software for one minute, plus I run it in an almost perfect operational environment, we'll have to see - thanks for your interest

At work we have one huge php file that will always crash out dreamweaver on my computer and someone else's. I'm on PC they on a mac. It is all PHP, one opening tag at top, one closing tag at bottom.
The funny thing is, there are other sites that have files very close to the one that crashes, and they open fine...
On my system if i go to task manager, i can watch the memory use of dreamweaver slowly rise up over 500 megs of ram, then after a bit it slowly works its way back down. takes too long to be usable. Just another reason for me to use zend studio
However, the attached file is no where near the size of the one that crashes us.

Does anyone experience a problem with Dreamweaver crashing often while using it to work with Local side files. It crashes Alot for my when I work with it and the local files. Could this be my office server (a shared local hard drive). Basically DW just freezes and I have to Cntrl-Alt-Del to close it. My computer is pretty good I think and it happens when it's the only program open or when I have a bunch.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
