I am about to be arrested please help!

When I try to open DW I get an error message saying that I have performed an illegal operation and Dreamweaver is going to be shut down. Am I about to be arrested or is there something else?

Well the good news is that you are not about to be arrested - Well not by Macromedia anyway! But the bad news is that it is not so easy to resolve this problem. What you need to do is to go through a process of elimination to find the conflicting programs and how you do this is as follows:

1. Shut down and restart you computer - Not forgetting to save all your work first!

2. Shut down all programs except for one - Use Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up the "close program" window, selct the program you want to shut down and press "end task".

3. Now try to restart Dreamweaver - Does it work?

Use this method for all programs in the system tray until you find the conflicting program!

I had this problem too

I had this problem on both my lap top and PC at different times, I found it happened from me loading an extension that was not compatable with MX, so in future I am very very careful what extension I install and have not got the problem again.
