Adobe DW5. The splash screen shows up but is blank - white. I reinstalled the Adobe Suite and still nothing. After opening, Splash screen shows but it is white. I did some research and some people noted flash wasn't installed because that is probably what plays it but I have flash installed, shockwave.

Any thoughts? [IMG] [/IMG] is a pic...

Is your account a network account or FileVault account? It doesn't work with those account types.

I am in a computer lab...25 others work, mine doesn't. I am the teacher, I log on to our school network.

I don't understand "network account or FileVault account?"

Shockwave is not the same as Flash, that is a confusion spread by Macromedia's branding a few years ago. Either you have the Shockwave plugin or you have Shockwave Flash, which is an ancient version of Flash. Try installing the latest Flash and see if that works.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

A network account is an account where your files are stored on a network server, not on the local Mac. When you log in to various Macs, do you see your files and settings? If yes, you have a network account. I'd expect you to have a network account. Your students appear not to have network accounts. They appear to be using a generic account shared by whomever sits at the Mac.

A FileVault account is an account that is using Apple's FileVault. FileVault encrypts all your data into an encrypted disk image.

Both account types confuse Dreamweaver since the account isn't in the standard location. It shouldn't matter where an account is located but Adobe has some shoddy programmers.

Yes, I have a network a/c, regardless of the computer I get my settings. The students use the generic Student to log in.

So I am out of luck?

Thanks.

Yup. Unless Adobe fixes it. Not likely since it was also broken in CS4.
