Problem running Basic Stamp Editor 2.5.2

I'm sorry I had previously posted this on the General Discussion forum, but I'm re-posting it here because maybe it pertains solely to the BASIC Stamp. I am having this problem running the BSE 2.5.2 from my "new" Windows 7 Thinkpad T61p. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling a bunch of times using different compatibility settings, etc... I also turned off antivirus software and anything else I thought could be a problem as far as the OS goes. My installation of Windows is relatively new and I believe it is clean as far as malware, viruses, etc. Please help as I am a teacher of a class where my students create BASIC Stamp projects. I have about 25 projects going in total and I can't afford to not help them debug their programs from my own computer... p.s. I used to have a Thinkpad T41p with XP running the editor and it worked fine. I'm not doing anything differently than before though as far as hardware is concerned... same BS2 board, same serial setup etc...

Here's a screenshot of what I see when I try to run the BSE:

Specs are as follows:
Lenovo Thinkpad T61p (Core2 Duo) T7700
Windows 7 Home Pro (32 bit) SP1
4 GB of RAM
Plenty of hard disk space.
Nothing plugged in at the time of install/run.
I do have the fingerprint reader, I wonder if that's an issue.
