The EXACT same thing happened to me (except it was actually 8,762 bytes). I added some white space in Notepad, and voila -- problem solved. Thank you so much! Oh, how ridiculous.

I barely believed you until I checked the file size of my CSS file... it's like you were some kind of spooky mind reader. I added a simple space to one line and presto... fixed!

Just had this happen to me in the middle of a big job (aren't they always?), and was not looking forward to harangueing Adobe or the other usual run arounds. Guess they *STILL* haven't fixed it yet! (BTW, running DW CS3 on a HP Compaq 8710p with XP SP3.) Thank you so much for posting this problem and fix.

I just had to do a (non-destructive) reinstall of Windows due to some malware and my Dreamweaver had crashed beforehand which I attributed to the malware issues. When I reinstalled Dreamweaver this morning it would not load past the startup screen. I found this in Google while looking for reason for the lock up and I found that my index.shtml file was exactly 24,576 kb (3x 8,192kb). Opened it up in Notepad, deleted a couple lines and Dreamweaver opened right up. Thanks for saving me many hours, I had already done one uninstall and reinstall! Wow… this is such an odd bug.

I was using CS3 and got the crash! I had rebooted, restored and as I have recently loaded DW CS4 (which loaded okay but I'm not currently using because the damn thing doesn't have Layout Mode - but thats another story!) and having got that sinking feeling tried Google and your response was number 1 result. Looked for the errant CSSfile I was working on and sure enough - the magic number! Deleted a couple o fspaces and all loaded okay again. I can't believe its not been fixed by Adobe but there does seem to be a catalogue of poor coding since Adobe took over from Macromedia! Thanks again. Amazing! I was using CS3 and got the crash!
