Expression Web 2 keeps crashing - 8/20/2009 22:47:42
I upgraded to Expression Web 2 from Frontpage 2003 and I'm slowly changing the web pages from using Frontpage webbot includes to using PHP includes. I have to make extensive use of the Find-and Replace feature, but EW2 keeps crashing on me! That is, it seems to crash most often when I try to do a F&R. I often load a number of pages at once (up to about 12) and then ask it to search "all open pages" to do the F&R. Maybe this is more than EW2 can handle, but FP used to do it no problem and EW2 still has the feature so I assume it's supposed to still be able to do it.
I know crashing is a common problem in EW2. I am also aware of FP Cleaner and use it regularly to clear out both old Frontpage and EW2 debris. But it often crashes even after just a few F&R runs. This is starting to drive me a little nuts.
Is there some trick to using extensive Find-and-Replace's in EW2, or is EW2 just a house of cards waiting for a puff of wind? Anyone find a better solution for this problem?
I'm running it on a Vista Home Premium machine. I also have Frontpage 2003 installed, since I need to use FP to do semi-monthly web updates until I get it fully functional on EW2. I don't usually run them at the same time though. I also have 3 GB of usable memory.
Help please?

EW 2 does FP includes just fine.

Thanks for the link, Don. I actually checked them out a few months ago but didn't find them very helpful. I'll search their forum though and see if I find information about this.
Thanks!

Just ask you question there. They are most helpful but they will want to know more info like a link to your site.
I also use EW2 and FrontPage. No problems so far with EW2 here.

It's strange that some people report a lot of crashing problems and others say it runs fine. I wonder what the difference is? Is it a computer setup issue? Operating system? Maybe EW conflicts with other software? Very weird. From everything I've seen, Microsoft seems oblivious to it. I guess it runs fine on their computers. :-S The only solution I could find in a search was FP Clean, which seems to help but not for long.
