I’ve been having these strange Dreamweaver issues lately at work. Opening and clicking in any section of a php or asp document was immediately followed by a Dreamweaver crash. It was really puzzling to me and after running defrag and a virus scan I even considered to re-install this darn Dreamweaver.

This morning though it happened on my home PC, and it was clear that I need to either dump DW or find a solution. So 15mins of googling revealed a Dreamweaver Daylight Savings Bug. Who would have known? Apparently, this bug has been live since last year.

This bug manifests itself in all its glory when clock goes back one hour, which causes a corruption of a WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat file. So to fix this you simply need to delete the WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat file. Indeed – no more crashes.

Dreamweaver 8 or Dreamweaver CS4 are not affected by this bug.
