Sorry, no. The Windows Update in question breaks a ton of functionality when
you try to automate IE from out of process. However, the February cumulative
update should resolve the issue, if the last comment (from a Microsoft
employee) on the Microsoft Connect report is to be believed.

How to solve it? Set the Protected Mode settings. For the technical reasons why
the IE driver requires this, see

If you're using the WebDriver implementation of the IE driver with
watir-webdriver, you should take a look at the WebDriver project's wiki
page for how to configure IE to properly work with the driver[1]. It has
been updated to include extra configuration steps for IE11. Note carefully
the
You haven't provided this information, and I'm not an expert in
watir-webdriver, so I'm going to have to rely on my psychic debugging powers.
My psychic powers tell me you're running Internet Explorer 10 or 11, and since
you're on a 64-bit version of Windows, you assumed you should use the
What version of IEDriverServer.exe are you using? More importantly, are you
using the 64-bit version of the executable? If you are using the 64-bit exe,
don't. Use the 32-bit exe with IE10+. With IE10+, even on 64-bit Windows, and
even if you explicitly launch a 64-bit iexplore.exe, the content
Just a wild guess, but are you running on 64-bit Windows 7? What version of
IEDriverServer.exe are you running, 32-bit or 64-bit?
IE, or any process, for that matter, can't load a cross-bitness .dll (an
ActiveX control is a .dll with some specific API endpoints built into it).

You don't. The WebDriver API doesn't support attaching to an existing browser
yet, so watir-webdriver can't provide this functionality either. Additionally,
a large use case for attaching to an existing browser window is in manipulating
popup browser windows[1], and WebDriver does provide a
Let me piggyback off of Željko's comments to reiterate that the WebDriver
development team welcomes any and all contributions toward making the drivers
more stable. I realize that having watir-classic is a disincentive for folks to
spend time helping with the IE driver, if only because it
I don't want to leave you with the impression that this isn't a very helpful
place to get answers. It is, and answering your question was no trouble at all.
In the future though, it's best to start a new thread for a new question. :)

I'm going to use my psychic debugging powers to deduce that you're
automating IE with the watir-webdriver gem. If I'm wrong, disregard the
following explanation.
Screenshots in WebDriver are, by definition, of the full page. However, in
order to take a screenshot of the full page without
Normally I'd say, Start a new thread; don't hijack other peoples', but
I'm too tired to argue about it. How to solve the problem is to set the
browser zoom level to 100%. That is to say, open IE manually, and type
Control+0 (that's hold the control key down while typing the number zero).

Don't add the executable name in the path entry. In other words, if you put
