Open chrome browser with Selenium in VBA

Question

I've downloaded Selenium to automate some web browsing in VBA, and as excited as I am to use it, I cannot seem to get it up and running. I'm trying to open up a chrome browser to start navigating to pages and doing what I need to do but every time it opens up to a blank page with URL "data:," and I get an error "WebRequestError The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occured on a receive."

I've seen several tips for this type of thing searching around but in trying to implement them I've still not cleared anything up.

Things I've tried:

• Downloaded SeleniumBasic-2.0.9.0
• Downloaded Chromedriver 2.40
• I think I'm supposed to put the chromedriver somewhere so I have it in the same folder as SeleniumBasic but I'm not sure if that's right.

I'd really like to get this up and running so I can play around with Selenium and get some automation going and I feel like this part should not be this hard so if I could get some help on getting past this stupid little barrier I would really appreciate it.
