Hi Tiffany,
Thanks so much for your post, all good ideas.
I just wanted to follow-up. It seems that after rebooting the computer
(a sure fix-all?), this problem went away. I don't know if I'll ever
know the answer as to why this was happening, but its all good now.
So, this will help me to remember to always add rebooting the computer
to my troubleshooting bag of tricks. It was there, just didn't think
it applied in this case, lol.
Thanks again,
Jeff

Hi Jeff!
I haven't heard of this problem. Can you provide any errors you're
getting when the browser crashes?
Have you verified that you can manually access the URL in an IE8
browser on this system? If so, have you tried stepping through
opening a new browser and then going to the site through irb? You
could also try the same steps with a Firefox browser to narrow the
problem down a bit.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I have a simple automation application built in Ruby 1.8.6 and Watir
1.6.5. The application takes control of the browser and goes through
3 or 4 pages of an online website. It fills in a couple forms and
pushes a few buttons, nothing fancy.
This application works as tested on several computers, including XP
and Vista, IE 7 and 8. On one particular computer, Windows Vista Home
Premium Edition SP2 and IE 8, the application successfully opens a new
browser, but the second it sends an automation command (browser.goto),
IE8 crashes. This happens each and every time and I'm wondering if
anyone else has had the same experience.
Thanks,
Jeff
