p.s. i seem to have fixed dreamweaver. i did a windows update earlier that morning and before windows does an update, it makes a system restore point. theoretically it's not supposed to because we've been having trouble with people getting viruses on their work computers so IT was supposed to have turned off the auto-restore point creation function, but when i went to look, there was a point from that morning.

i told it to go back to that point and it went through all the motions like it was going back, but then at the very end it gave me a message saying it hadn't worked and windows didn't do anything. only, suddenly dreamweaver worked again. O_o
