Dual Monitors Mess up DW
I set up dual monitors yesterday and noticed the DW doesn't like it too much. When I try to use the "point to file" link in the property panel the line that normally extends from the Point to File circle is over on the layers panel. And I cannot select a file. I have to click on the folder icon in order to set up a link.
Also, I noticed that I cannot double click to copy and paste info into the link field on the property panel. I have to go to the menu bar, click copy, then back up to the menu bar and click paste. Did I forget to "do something" when I set this up? Kinda bummed that these features don't work.

Not sure what Explode the Workspace is or what I need to unlock....
p.s. Got a mac so maybe that is the problem.

When using DW on mutiple monitors, do you have panels and toolbars on one monitor and the workspace on the other?

When using DW on mutiple monitors, do you have panels and toolbars on one monitor and the workspace on the other?
ASKER
Nope. Have the files, panels and toolbars all on larger monitor. The smaller one is for email and internet testing....
Shouldn't be having any problems then. Which workspace are you using?
ASKER
the new larger monitor.
No, which workspace in Dreamweaver. Classic / Coder / etc?
ASKER
I use classic workspace but have been having problems. The window that i work in gets locked up at the top of the screen. It is so high that I cannot click on any tabs to get to another file that may be open. The way around it is to reset the workspace. This has been happening for quite some time now. Long before the monitor. Having problems clicking the point to file is a brand new issue.
Have you tried deleting the local Configuration folder (back it up first) and letting DW rebuild it when you reopen the program?
ASKER
I located the configuation folder for DW in the applications folder, dropped it onto my desktop and quit dw. Then I opened up dw again and got this message,
" no document types have been found in the configuration/document types folder. The MMdocumenttypes.xml file may be missing or corrupted. The application will exit now"
NOt sure what to do next.

This is the one you moved?
Mac HD/Users/[user]/Library/Ap
If DW won't restart, obviously put the folder back where it was...Adobe recommends not moving it but renaming it to "Configuration Old" (just found that in a KB article...sorry).

I put it back. What I meant by I don't know what to do next, was that I don't know what to try next. I will try renaming it
I'm rapidly running out of ideas too. My next couple of guesses wouldbe to update or reinstall the drivers for the graphics card/chip and uninstall/reinstall Dreamweaver
ASKER
I tried renaming it to configuration-old and then I tried configuration old but both times I did that I got the same error message. I am running tiger. Could that be the problem?
I did not buy a graphics card/chip so I don't know where the drivers would be. I don't have a disk. I guess I will try to unistall and reinstall dw. I heard not to do this unless it is a last resort. What cautionary steps should I take prior to uninstalling dw?

Mac's don't have a way to check for driver updates to the hardware automatically?
I only know how to check for software updates.
Will try an install and reinstall.

Did you explode the workspace and undock everything?
