[wtr-general] Re: Watir and flash audio
Our build server is a VM so we left a user logged in via the VM console (rather than a remote desktop session). It seems to be working but is a bit flaky. We going to try stopping the console from locking to see if that proves more reliable.

Maybe you are using some such GUI function in your script. Guess you ll have to use some other alternative for that function.

Can you leave a user logged into the machine where the test is failing? I had a similar problem - some GUI tests would not work without a user logged in to Windows. So my Watir machines (VMs, actually) are configured to automatically log in as a particular user at boot. You can do this in XP or Vista.
