ASCOM and Starizona MicroTouch Focuser

I could sure use some help getting a new MicroTouch installed correctly. It's at the point where the USB2 driver is working and the Starizona software communicates perfectly with the hand controller.

But, problems galore with FocsuMax and getting the ASCOM driver to load. I have updated ASCOM to 5.5.1 and the MicroTouch focuser shows up as a possible selection, but when selecting the focuser an error is given: Failed to load driver, cannot write activeX.

I tried out the ASCOM driver from the FeatherTouch site as it seems to be the same exact Starizona product. The Feathertouch DLL is in the ASCOM folder but there is no Feathertouch option. I even tried renaming the driver to MicroTouch.dll which is what one does in desperation. Naturally that faied too.

Totally stuck. Can anyone help? I've written to Dean at Starizona. He answers in a crytptic but helpful fashion hopefully with something to help. I can't be the only one getting stuch with this. (Win7 64 bit)

THANKS!
