So basically the test never starts because IE is never finished loading the items on the page? I've witnessed this also with slow-loading images on our staging servers. IE hangs out (no pun intended) until the final image shows and then tests away.
It may be a low-tech resolution, but if I'm not testing the images, for instance, I go into IE setting and disable images from showing before I run my tests. You could also easily do this with streaming/multimedia content in Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced. So, as long as you're not testing the functionality of the streaming content that should allow the test to run. If you are, it may be the one component that you have to test manually. That's my non-watir-specific .02.

I am trying to test a website that has streaming content, and it seems that because this content is streaming, IE never returns that it is no longer busy. Is there some way around this? I am unable to do anything on the site in these cases.
