Thank you both for your replies, but no I am not using the -b option to make IE run hidden. This occurs sometimes with both IE6 and IE7. It seems to be unclear what causes this mysterious behavior. For example I set up a windows scheduled task to run a batch file that runs one of my watir scripts, and when that task begins an IE OLE server connection is obviously made, but the IE window never appears for the duration of the test. But when I double click on the batch file without the task, the IE window usually appears.
Nothing has changed execpet that instead of the Windows task scheduler running the batch file, I myself am double clicking on it to run it. Also I only have one screen, and nothing special really going on. Any other ideas?
