Sometimes when using the Find feature in Dreamweaver MX 2004, I get
the following error and then Dreamweaver crashes:

--------------------
While executing DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Find_Replace command in
menus.xml, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

exception throw in native function
--------------------

And then from then on everytime I use the Find feature, Dreamweaver
crashes. If I re-install though, then it will solve the problem -
until the problem comes back again.

What can I do to permanently solve this problem? It is extremely
frutstrating and I am willing to spend money in order to get this
fixed, but as long as the problem is fixed permanently.

Thanks in advance!

Dreamweaver MX gunks up the registry with old search dialogue values.

I found the answer at http://www.forum4designers.com/archive12-2004-7-99718.html

Just delete all Q* values from:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2025429265-1897051121-682003330-1003\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
MX 2004\Find And Replace

Thanks! Hopefully that helps, I'll read the thread more since it
contains more details.

Thanks for the information as well!
