Whenever Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is open, it uses 100% of an entire core of my CPU. I have Windows Vista x86.

A few google searches have offered me the advice of excluding Dreamweaver from DEP, although I already have DEP switched on only for core Windows services.

Have you checked that you have installed any of the latest updates available from Adobe? And this may be lame, but have you tried re-installing/repairing the install? – anonymous coward Jul 15 '09 at 17:04
Yes, Yes it does. – Phoshi Oct 11 '09 at 18:01

There have been issues (crashes &c) with installations of Dreamweaver when Anti-virus software has been running. There is an Adobe TechNote that goes through all this in detail. Worth a look if you've not gone through it already.

Ok. I'm not going to point any fingers or pass any judgements here (how do you think I found out about this problem myself), but this is a very very common side-effect of one of the early cracks for the dreamweaver.exe to remove the activation procedure.

There was a 2nd version of the crack, but it screwed up the templating system. So it's six of one, half a dozen of the answer, and I shall sit back and wait for this answer to be deleted or flagged.

I have CS4 and get similar issues at random (and commonly when editing CSS heavy sites). I have the genuine version - always have and will. I missed CS3 and went from CS2-4 and there are so many bugs like this, but overall, I stick with Adobe as the suite offers the easiest production line! – William Hilsum Sep 13 '09 at 2:18
... Although not excluding that he could be using a dodgy copy, just saying that genuine copies are not problem free! – William Hilsum Sep 13 '09 at 2:19
