Dreamweaver version 8 wont start!

Google search query: Dreamweaver version 8 wont start!

Am a hard user of dreamweaver, even with opensource cms... may it be for editing, enhancements, ftp, etc... so i have to add a tag here for dreamweaver troubleshooting issues, bugs and fixes, tips and techniques that may prove useful to others... :D If any have encountered similar problems of dreamweaver not starting up all of a sudden, this article helps. Scenario: upon starting dreamweaver you find only the splash sreen of DW shown but the entire application doesn't start or follows. First reaction is to restart the PC but same problem. Then you might think maybe its hard disk space or low memory, but still same dilemma... If all mentioned fails, try the ff. tips here...
