Title: Problem
Post by: Ivy on October 19, 2008, 06:18:08 AM: I have been downloading some software and like Dreamweaver and Visual Basic etc, the whole download completes, the installation completes but when I try to run the program it says ''dreamweaver has encountered a problem and needs to close''

I wonder why this keeps happening, I need these software!

Thankyou

I'm using windows xp pro, Firefox for browser, Comodo for firewall and AVG for antivirus!

Title: Re: Problem
Post by: Saviour on October 19, 2008, 12:48:49 PM: This download is not compatible with your operating system, Ivy.

That's why you're getting the error from Windows about Dreamweaver encountering an error and having to shut down.
Title: Re: Problem
Post by: Ivy on October 19, 2008, 12:57:24 PM: It was exactly this (http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/dreamweaver-free.html) link, I just remembered the name ''brothersoft'' and googled it up just now and gave you a link in a hurry!

It was one of dreamweavers given in the link that I downloaded...

What about Visual Basic?

Post by: Ivy on October 19, 2008, 12:59:37 PM: This (http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/dreamweaver-2.html) page to be precise.
Title: Re: Problem
Post by: Saviour on October 19, 2008, 01:02:18 PM: Like I said...that version of Dreamweaver is not compatible with your operating system.

Now provide me with the link to Visual Basic you were using, please.

Title: Re: Problem
Post by: kpac on October 20, 2008, 01:44:05 PM: Do you need Dreamweaver for designing a browser? I thought it would be written in C or C++...

Why don't you download the trial of Dreamweaver from Adobe?

Yes!

I'm actually looking around , I ordered dreamweaver yesterday, I'm waiting for the response, sorry I didn't reply, Thought I'd let it come first.
Title: Re: Problem
Post by: kpac on October 21, 2008, 12:11:55 PM: You ordered it? LOL there goes $400.... ;D
Title: Re: Problem
Post by: Ivy on October 25, 2008, 07:20:52 AM: Okay , its been 5 days, I ordered that dreamweaver thing and they said they'd email me but no email!

Now a friend of mine suggested NVU, but then I found that NVU had bug problems and I could not get Nvu, since it had been removed from the repositories , I researched a little on it (actually for 4 hours) , and finally found this (http://www.kompozer.net/) Kompozer is supposed to be easy to use and had WYSIWYG editor seen in Nvu.

Here's the trouble,I downloaded from the first Link (http://www.kompozer.net/download.php) from the website, but on extracting the files , something goes wrong, and then when I try to run the program I get this message(screenshot attachment).

Anybody has any Ideas at all??

Thanks for the help!

I should have specifically warned you away from Nvu, but that's why I didn't recommend it. Let me know what you think of Kompozer. I've never used it.

Thats why now I'm downloading Coffeecup (http://www.coffeecup.com/free-editor/download.php?getFile) now
Title: Re: Problem
Post by: Ivy on October 26, 2008, 12:04:47 AM: Okay the download is complete, but I'm not able to find a tutorial for Coffeecup!!

I searched a lot for it, I googled it but no good!

What am I to do?
Title: Re: Problem
Post by: Ivy on October 26, 2008, 12:24:53 AM: Ok just forget it, I'll go the harder way, what I've been avoiding...Notepad!!

I'll just simply write my codes in notepad.

but I'll keep you guys posted about how my pages are comin through.

Cheers!

The right choice, IMO. If you want to be a professional web designer, you'd be better off writing the code yourself.
If you're stuck with anything, don't forget W3Schools (http://www.w3schools.com/).

Post by: BC_Programmer on October 26, 2008, 11:51:30 AM: Hold on, Visual Basic .NET is not Visual Basic...

I imagine the VB 5 link was the Control Creation Edition.

What did you want to use VB5 for, Ivy?
