Hello Nathan, thanks for all the details you included in your initial post.  While I don't think I can add anything more to the programming/troubleshooting side of things than have already been offered, I haven't seen anyone yet ask what else is going on in the system.

Do you have any other programs or services running in the background?  (In particular any monitoring programs in the System Tray?)  Have you tried collecting system performance metrics while you run your test?  For example, using the Windows Perfmon tool, set up a new Counter Log to trace the CPU and Memory usage of the system and the iexplore process.  Make sure to create a "Text File (Comma delimited)" Log file type so that you can bring the results into Excel and examine them after the test failure.  Sysinternals also makes some nice tools that you can use for monitoring your system, including Process Explorer, Filemon, etc.

If you can't solve the mystery with the information you have, look for more clues and information.

All the best!

Cheers.  Paul C.

I am using Watir 1.4 (latest) and Ruby 1.8.5-21 I believe on Windows (of course) with Internet Explorer 6.  PLEASE, please help me if you have a solution.  I have thought to maybe put a begin...rescue...end block around some of my code to try and keep this from happening, but I'm not sure that would do any good.  Oh also, I know pretty much that something WIERD is going on because my browser window is always closed at this point - when the error occurs, which is obviously the reason for the RPC Server problem.  But WHY is it closing?
