This is a little, rarely updated blog where I post solutions to technical problems I encountered but couldn't find an easy answer to on Google. It's mainly for my own reference, but I thought I might as well publish it on the web just in case it helps anyone else. Warning: these solutions worked for me, but I can't guarantee they'll work for you! All actions performed at your own risk.

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 - Crashes on Startup - Solved
Problem:
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX2004 crashes when you try and open it. It doesn't even appear at all before the window 'report error' box comes up.
Solution that worked for me:
1. Navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\<<??>>\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration
(Replace <<??>> above with the name of your Window's profile. e.g. "Mark")
2. Delete the SiteCache folder
There is no harm in doing this as you're just removing its memory of what files you have in your website (presumably this memory was corrupted). Next time you load Dreamweaver it pops back up, and re-creates the cache file.
