I have at least one copy of each on my Windows 8.0 Laptop-MilesAhead (March 03, 2015, 03:16 PM)

According to msdn "Windows API Sets" they are not designed to work on Windows 7.
Maybe 'something' is installed that makes DW confuse my Win 7 for a Win 8 / RT 2012 ?

Maybe the Laptop came with W8 and the owner did a "free downgrade" to W7. Many people did.

I am scheduled to meet him in a week from now, so I will remember to ask him this. Thanks!

Have you tried the Product Key search utility? If nothing else, if the hw is good you could do a complete wipe and install and at least have a running Laptop with a clean OS on it.
Curt:
^ oh, yes, Thank you for the adware-installing jelly thing! hehe ;D
Not to worry; I have Abelssoft Keyfinder, so I know the keys in mention. :up:
I was trying to avoid the New Operating System -solution, because of the many (count: "1, 2, many") license key problems there usually will follow for this and that "licensed per machine"-program. Somehow a new operating system often makes the old machine become a new machine, if you ask the third party suppliers' Sales-department.
