Well, then something is wrong somewheres.  My ancient 667MHz PowerBook 
with only 512MB of RAM (also running 10.3.8) runs flawlessly, if not a 
bit slow.

In all the dozens of DreamWeaver installs, I've never had problems like 
you've described.

  * Have you got that Hardware Diagnostics disk?

  * Do you install a lot of "garbage" on your system?
    [i.e. Barbie(TM) games, weather dock, etc]

  * Does anyone besides you use the machine?

These are the first things which popped into mind (as possibly causes 
for simple stuff not working right).  Either it is a hardware problem 
or too much junk in the trunk.

There is a commonly-recommended fix on OS X called "Repair 
Permissions."  I believe it exists in the Disk Utility tool.  Select 
your disk and choose "Repair Permissions."  Then reboot.  Fixes an 
amazing large number of issues.

Good luck!
