Hi All,

We could overcome this particular issue by introducing a little
polling interval in the part of my code that opens the Browser.

code:-
# FUNCTION TO BE CALLED
def call(browser,url)
    $ie=FireWatir::Firefox.new
    $ie.maximize
    $ie.goto url
    $sessionHwnd=$ie.title();
 end

# MAIN CODE
begin
  i = 0
  call(browser,url)
  rescue Exception => ex
  if i <5
    sleep(5)
    i = i+1
    call(browser,url)
  else
      puts "Could not open Browser. Retry."
  end
end


In case such an exception is encountered the code will retry to open
the browser 5 times again at the max.

Thanks a lot for all the ideas.

-Betsy Joy.
