    This is a known problem with a recent Windows update having to do with Excel drivers.  I believe this has been fixed in a TestComplete version 12.41 which is available for download.  Contact support and see if this is the case.

      There is no such version still available for me , currently test complete 32 bit version showing its latest version as 12:40 and test complete 64-bit version showing me its latest version as 12:31

       

      none of above version showing any updates when clicked on check for update option available under help menu option.

       

      do you please provide me link where i can download this latest version named as 12:41 

       

      is it external version not available on smart community web site.

       

       

      Thanks
