If you convince yourself that something is impossible before you even try; you are sure to prove yourself right.
[noparse][[/noparse]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{648A5600-2C6E-101B-82B6-000000000014}]
it the "Compatibility Flags" = 00000400
the set it to 0 and try the program again. if it works great if it doesn't set the registry back to hex 400.
Why? If it works it's because StampPlot is using MSCOMM which is blocked by newer internet explorer.
And why is it blocked - i believe some malware use activex components and this is MS's way to stop them.

Warning messing with registry can goof stuff up royally!
Backup your registry first then
Open Command Prompt.
Type
reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools
Answer y.
once you in check your run and run once registry keys under HKLM & HKLU to see if you are infected
Run an antivirus

you can try this:
Copy the code below into notepad save it as fix.reg then double click on the file - it should update your registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[noparse][[/noparse]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{648A5600-2C6E-101B-82B6-000000000014}]
"Compatibility Flags"=dword:0
Hopefully StampPlot will work now, if not - To put your registry back do the same with this code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[noparse][[/noparse]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{648A5600-2C6E-101B-82B6-000000000014}]
"Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400

This may sound like a stupid question - but did you hit the "Connect" button and the "Start Plot" button?
I tested the plot below with your output code and it worked

As you can see it works fine - is your wire connected to pin 2?
Im also Assuming you are using a photoresistor with a .01 microfarad cap·in parallel
post edited cause I had .001 instead of .01 and forgot the word "cap"
