When starting Dreamweaver CS4 I get an error of microsoft visual c++ runtime library: runtime error

Today I got an error message of "microsoft visual c++ runtime library: runtime error ..." when attempting to run Adobe Dreamweaver CS4. This is horrible!! Here is a screen show showing what I got:

my dreamweaver cs4 windows error

My method for fixing this error on Windows XP was to do move the following directory into my Recycle Bin:

c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4

Note: The "Application Data" folder is hidden and you might need to do the following:

Choose menu "Tools"
Choose menu item "Folder Options"
Choose tab "View"
Enable "Show hidden files and folders"
Click "OK"

After removing the directory, launching Dreamweaver worked! I was also surprised that I did not loose any of my site settings.

mTAIL Tracks Log File Changes [Featured Windows Download]

This looks very useful for the sysadmin out there. I have not used it yet, because I am happy so far with BareTail. But I should give this a try the next time I need to read logs on Windows as its updated.

from lifehacker:

Windows only: Actively track changes in your log files with lightweight application mTAIL, a Windows-based emulation of the venerable tail command found in *nix based operating systems. Instead of opening a log file to review the contents, mTAIL keeps the file open and displays it as the system writes to it. Firewall your attention by setting up filters and alerts in mTAIL based on keywords. The app will cull out events in the log you don't need to see and alert you to the events you've pre-flagged. If you'd like a few more flourishes to go with your tail emulation, check out equally as free BareTail. mTAIL is a free download for Windows only. Thanks Michael Kizer!
