    Hey guys, I have both Dreamweaver 3 and Dreamweaver MX 2004 installed. Problem is I there is no icon for Dreamweaver 3 in the Add/Remove programs part of control panel, plus there's no uninstaller on the start menu, nor anything that says "uninstall" anywhere, and I'd like to not mess up my perfectly-working install of MX 2004 by deleting random crap.... anybody have any idea what I can do? I suppose I could unintsall both, then reinstall 2004, just like to see if there was a way to get around that, maybe some kind of utility or something?

    if you were to go into c>program files>macromedia>dreamweaver3 could you not just delete the d3 folder and leave the d2004 folder alone?....or is it all in one folder?

    Thats a really bad way of uninstalling things. You leave lots behind - everything in the registry remains, as do all shortcuts and any dlls installed. It can cause lots of errors later if "uninstalling" this way

    Dreamweaver 3... WTH?

    I was thinking it was the previous or next version of the 2004 release, but that would be version 6. Version 3 sounds like an old version, so I think that deleting the contents would be okay...

    you have a point, then again, some uninstallers are missing the required dlls *cough*BF1942*cough* and force you to delete things that way, and thats when you start to really hate a certain company


    ...i've only had to do it the old fashioned way with BF1942, uninstaller ran, but all it deleted was the run command....everything else was still there...

    as for regit and other dll's, i've looked and pooked around in my regit, and there is literally thousands of apps that i uninstalled(using there uninstaller) that has left dlls, and odds and ends lying around, its a damm mess, that ALMOST warrants a format..

    i've personally tried Knoppix..and thought it was fairly good....very stable.....tried OSX, nice interface, and fairly stble, if not a little slow....i might try FreeBSD in a few days too...but you make a point Paulo, its hard not to be devoted to one OS, its nearly impossible not to use windows, there are some good apps written for it, damm M$ and their monopoly

    On what system did you use os x on? I have a 1.33ghz 768mb iBook, and it seriously feels a heck of a lot faster than my athlon xp 2000+ 1gb ram. I'd say they should be about equal, if not the pc outpacing the ibook most of the time

    These are of course, thoroughly un-scientific tests.

    Also could be that you used an older version of os x - before 10.2 it really wasn't ready for main usage.

    Knoppix isn't great to test unless you do a Hard disk install of it - due to it using a large chunk of your ram as a ramdisk - effectively cutting down the amount of ram availble to apps.

    ive run knoppix on our schools old 266 p3 with 128 of ram....lol..ran fine...though like you said...a little slow

    as for osx, i was running it on a mac mini with 512 of ram...cpu was a 1.4? ghz ppc..mac minis are just ibooks basically...as for the os, it was panther, when i tested it, it was about a month before 10.3?
