Hi!
i searched the forum for any information about this and i've found a few topics with the same problem. But none of them gave me a solution. so I'm starting a new thread.
I downloaded the software, unpacked it and installed it. But when I open the PLX DAQ excel file, it says: 'can't load object because it isn't available on this machine" (free translation). I checked the troubleshooting guide and it says i should check my macro security. I've put the secuity level to low, but it still won't work. I'm running windows 7 on a macbok pro OSX10 ith bootcamp.
When I try to debug, excel opens the Visual basics window and hilights 'stamp.disconnect'
I found this post on another thread:
'What do you know, I sorted it. There is an activeX control (selmaDAQ_Ver2.ocx) that is in the c:\windows\system32 directory. However my registry was set to d:\windows\system32. My computer has done things like that before, confusing d with c, and some programs don't install right. I could have changed all registry references, but it was easier to just create system32 on my D and copy that file over.'
I found the file selmaDAQ_Ver2.ocx at another location:C:\Windows\SysWOW64. When i try: run-> regsvr32 selmadaq_ver2.ocx it says: 'the module 'selmadaq_ver2 failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found'
So now i copied the file selmadaq_ver2.ocx to the system32 file and ran regsvr32 again. Now it says: 'The modue 'selmadaq_ver2.ocx" may not compatible with the version of Windows that you're running. Check if the module is compatible woth an x86 (32 bit) ot 64 (64-bit) version of regsvr32.exe'. I have a 64 bit version of windows. I'm starting to think it has something to do with the fact i run bootcamp an with the fact i run 64 bit windows. What should I do?
thanks in advance!

The problem was with the 64 bit windows and 2013 excel version. I installed parallels desktop, installed windows xp and office 2003 and had no more problems!
I admire your tenacity.
Your problem now is that you are stuck with a crazily over complicated system involving a virtual machine, an obsolete OS and some specific prehisoric spread sheet version to do something that should be very simple.
Parallax should really look into this if PLX DAQ is still a supported offering.
