Live Data won't convert? DW8 & CF7 local server

I've been working through "Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP" by Bardzell.

Everything's been fine so far and I've double checked/re-installed/redone everything 2-3 times.

I've connected to a database and inserted content into my index file. The connection "tests" fine, but when I click on View>Live Data, I get the following:

"Dreamweaver could not properly convert the live page from the server."

Everything that I've found and read over and over again, never mentions this message. Gladly I did just discover via my fourth/fifth dummy insert that the browser preview does actually contain the correct data. Apperently CF7 or DW8 aren't on the same channel when they're talking to each other???

Chaoas7703,

Sorry this one has been sitting so long without a response. I've just updated Bardzell's book so I'm now very familiar with it. Can you reference the chapter and exercise you are having trouble with? I do what I can to help in case you haven't already resolved it.
