    Sorry, but the information is not enough.

    • Is TWS running?
    • If yes on which port?
    • Have you specified the same port for the sample?
    • Have you (as pointed out in the error message) checked the error message?

      Confirm that "Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients" is enabled on the TWS "Configure->API" menu
