This is my first post. I have tried searching the forums for an answer but now, I throw myself on the mercy of the Dreamweaver community. Please be kind.
In 1999 I designed a website on my PC using Macromedia Dreamweaver, maybe 3, maybe an earlier version. For the last 12 years I have been happily updating my website www.moviediva.com using the old software and a 2004 PC. I was forced to get a new computer due to imminent breakdown, and Adobe, who bought DW, assured me on the phone that people transfer their old sites to their new computers all the time. If I bought DW CS5.5, there would be no problem!
I installed the new software, and it can find my old site. I can open it, and edit the pages. But the old "site synchronize" dialogue box is gone. I was advised by a graphic designer friend to open the Site tab, and go to manage sites. I can find the folder in DW that contains my website, but when I click Open, nothing happens, nothing transfers. The window in the dialogue box is empty and remains so.
How do I wake the sleeping beast/beauty? Thank you for any help you can provide.
