What do you mean? What kind of problem are you having?

For me personally, I do not like Dreamweaver visual webpage designer. It tries to give you the feeling that you can make a webpage just like you make a power point presentation or a PDF document, but that is not how it works in reality. Dreamweaver visual designer ("WYSIWYG designer") is still bound by the rules of HTML and CSS. So honestly I would suggest to just learn how to code HTML and CSS directly, completely skipping Dreamweaver for now. Once you master HTML and CSS, then you can come back to Dreamweaver and use it simply as an aid to your design (although I have a feeling you probably won't go back to it once you learn straight web page coding). Some of the rules in HTML and CSS, such as the CSS box model, div floating and others just don't translate well to the WYSIWYG designer of Dreamweaver and end up confusing new web developers horribly.

you are not explaining your problem very well so it is hard for us to troubleshoot. Post your code here for the pages that the images that do not vome up. Most likely it is because they are not in the right directory or you are not pointing to the right directory.

Personally, I just code without a WYSIWYG editor, which is what the designer part of Dreamweaver is, and instead just code straight into an IDE (which is like a specialised version of notepad). Anytime I want to check if everything has worked out, I'll just refresh my browser.

This way, when you're designing your site, you get to see exactly how a browser will see it. It takes some time to master, and in the beginning you'll probably be refreshing after every line of code, but once you get a hand of it, it becomes second nature. :)

For the actual coding, try getting a book, or watching through Hall's tutorials.

Nope, like Pax said. Dreamweaver is probably one of the worst programs out there. Obviously, Front page is even worse, but then again, we live 2011, not 1999. So if you want to learn to create a website, start looking in to HTML and CSS. You don`t need propietary programs like Dreamweaver or Photoshop, you should start working with notePad++ and something like Gimp. It`s the completely free alternative to make _real_ websites.
