Dreamweaver error: xml parsing fatal error: Invalid document structure
If you get an error like this, chances are one of your layout files went corrupt.
I received an xml parsing fatal error: mentioning that my workspace file Designer.xml could not be read.
If you get this error too, no worries, fixing it is simple.
Go to C:/. Click Tools>Folder Options. Click the View Tab. Click 'Show hidden files and folders'.
Navigate to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Adobe/Dreamweaver/en_us/Configuration/Workspace. Make a new folder and move all files in that directory into this new folder. Close Dreamweaver and restart it. You should have no more problems with Dreamweaver (this may also work with Flash) and it should load.
Comment if this helped

Worked on my Mac!
Well done! Had problem and had given up on this then ran into this article. Solved by deleting the two files (current.txt and Designer.xml) and all is peachy now.

(Following paths found at Adobe Troubleshooting website)
W7 or Vista:

MAC OS:
/Users/[Your User Name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/[Dreamweaver version]/[language]/Configuration
Windows XP:
