Recently I had a problem with Dreamweaver CS3 crashing whenever I wanted to open a form. Delete the WinFileCache-7A9586CB.dat, MacFileCache-BFE7CE2E.dat, or FileCache.dat file from the Dreamweaver user configuration folder. It is recommended to delete the FileCache.dat file if you are experiencing a JavaScript error related to "dwscripts" or if you are receiving a "translators were not loaded" error message. The string of characters after "FileCache-" may differ on your machine. The location of the FileCache.dat file depends your operating system and your version of Dreamweaver. Note that on Windows, the Application Data and AppData folders are hidden by default, so verify that your Windows Explorer folder options are set to View Hidden Folders.
Googling this, I found out that the problem is created by a corrupt cache file. Deleting this file removed the issue and I now can open and amend my forms without crashing.
There is a very good knowledge base page on Adobe website for troubleshooting all sorts of issues. Click here to see this url.
Section 4 of this file was what I found to be the solution to my troubles. Here is the section entirely copied from the above knowledge base link in Adobe's website."4. Delete FileCache.dat files from the Dreamweaver user configuration folder.
