Dreamweaver MX 2004 VERY buggy.....help?

Just bought studio MX 2004 to install on my new g5 (with free studio 8 upgrade anticipated obviously).

this software is the buggiest piece of trash I’ve ever used (and I’ve been using MX with no issues what so ever for 2 years).

It crashes on FTP uploads.
It constantly “loses” the root folder and claims that it doesn’t exist.

i mean what the hell is going here?

OSX 10.4.2, dual 1.8 g5. Storing my files on a second internal SATA harddrive (could this be the problem??).

and yes I’ve updated it to the most recent version.

This is KILLING ME.

THX.
