I used too use DW in the end, practically pointless on waiting 5 minutes for it to load up. I prefer using PHP Personal Designer (Free software). Loads up really fast, doesn't use much CPU usage.
all CS3 products use alot of CPU they have to many useless features added by Adobe so they can show off a long list of stuff....... I use expression web now, as it seems to be alot better.
I got my DW8 down to between 0% and 1% processor usage from 30% - 40%!!! It was bugging me big time as my computer with 20 odd firefox tabs open and a few other programs only use 2% between them all. Try this people This is what i changed and I don't know what actually fixed it allthough I believe the status bar setting & the ftp setting might be the ones.. so you'll have to experiment a little. In the Preferences under edit deselect/change the following.. Uncheck show start page Uncheck use <strong> instead of... Choose firefox as your default preview browser Under "Site" change ftp to dissconnect every 1 min On "status bar" options change connection speed to "1500" (this is what i believe did it!) Good luck guys! My dreamweaver no-longer burns out my computer!! Let me know how you get on, I've already told a few people this today & they are reporting 0% on idle which is fantastic!!
Hi I found the answer on The CAFE » Dreamweaver » Has anyone else noticed DW Cs3 using a lot of processor cpu even when sitting idle? http://www.photoshopcafe.com/cafe/vi....php?tid=42997 a dreamweaver.exe in zip almost at the bottom And this one works
Sorry butthe URL you posted goes to a dead page, I posted the solution above you and it works everytime on anybody who has tried it.
hi I checked your info again. Well i am the one were your info didn't work that's why I posted this link. Funney it did work on Helptogo. But I noticed that they omitted the following part of the link cafe/viewthread.php?tid=42997 I tried to place it but it got again rejected.
My computer seems to do the same thing and I have a 2.8ghz 8 core I7 with 12gb ram. I am using CS6 so it seems to be the program just uses up a lot of resources.
