I just ran into the same problem. And it seems you are right about Dreamweaver. Adding above mentioned strings into settings.py didn't helped me.

I have run search for .css at regedit and changed most suspicious registry keys/records which

1. could be related to treating .css files as application/x-css type
2. could be related to associating .css file extension to opening with applications, especially Dreamweaver.

It took me two iterations and I can not say for sure which one was the right shot as it might needed some time to update some cache, etc.

Though I changed it at two locations:

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.css
2. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.css

I renamed (by adding leading '--' so that it could be recovered if necessary) keys/records related to .css files association with all applications (including Dreamweaver, Notepad, etc.) and stating .css files as application/x-css type.

After that the issue was resolved and Django CSS styles were correctly applied as it was expected.
