Unable to obtain the item's rectangle (can't click VB object)

I'm evaluating TestComplete to see if it'll work for my company. Unfortunately, I'm not able to play back even basic keyword tests. I'm able to record and the test operations look okay. But TC can't "see" the objects I want to click. It just waits and then gives up like so:



Waiting until the item becomes visible...

Waiting for the X object...



See attachments for examples of my test operations and error log. Note these are just examples, I know the error log doesn't match up with the test.



Unless I can find some workaround for TestComplete to be able to "see" and click on these objects, or convince the programmers to change the GUI (unlikely!), I won't be able to use it to automate my tests.



Any help or ideas appreciated... thanks!
