Dreamweaver 8 Crashing

I recently installed Dreamweaver 8 and it runs perfectly when it's the only thing running. Whenever I am online or running other programs alongside it, it decides to crash the minute I click on anything within the program, or attempt to continue working where I left off. Lately, I have been getting the blue-screen-of-death every single time this happens. It keeps referring to the win32k.sys file screwing up. I can run 10 other applications at the same time and this never happens. If I load DW8 and load something else . . . return to the program to use it, Windows shuts down.

I am using Windows XP Pro / SP2 / 512 MB DDR memory / clean install as of 2 days ago. I backed up everything, installed a clean version of XP with SP2 on top of it, all my usual programs . . . and it didn't matter. No viruses, no spyware, all Windows drivers and devices running properly . . . so why is Dreamweaver doing this and is there a patch or a way to fix this annoying bug. Thank you guys so much!!

Oh and the paging file is turned off . . . because I don't need it. I have sufficient physical memory, but if this is the case, I guess Dreamweaver is the only program that wants to use the hard drive (virtual memory) and the physical memory at the same time for memory? Does DW8 need a paging file? Thanks!
 
I figured it out on my own . . . the original author of the CSS template didn't code the beginning properly. I fixed it, and I have yet to see another BSOD. Sooo, if anyone is having a similar problem . . . check the code a few times and make sure all the variables are proper. Blah . . .
