IECreate is hanging all my scripts

[blkshadow82]

So I was working on a script and testing it when all of a sudden the IEcreate stopped creating a new instance of IE.  Also, When I went to the windows bar at the bottom right to exit out of the script it doesn't allow me to exit it just stays there. That forced me to quit Autoit process.  I thought maybe it was just an error in my script but then I tried a few other scripts which I knew were working and used the IECreate, same result. I restarted, I've uninstalled ran ccleaner then reinstalled Autoit and still no luck.

Any ideas? This is really going to make my life hell if I cannot figure this out. I use autoit to do almost every task at my job.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, one idea would be to post your script rather than asking us to guess

Like I said it is now happening on all of my scripts not just one.  So I think it has to do with Autoit itself.  I can post it but i don't think that will do much good Since it is ALL of them.

You need to give us MUCH more information!

Which version of Windows? 32/64 bit?

Which IE? 32/64 bit?

Which AutoIt version?

What did you change on your system?

There's more to it but that Is where it hangs.

Which version of Windows? 32/64 bit?  Windows 7 64 bit

Oh I think it might be my IE not Autoit. Hang on lemme try a few things I'll get back on this.

[blkshadow82]

Yup it was IE. Thank god.  Was weird that Autoit wasn't exiting out. May have just been stuck in the middle of the IE create function. Anyway. Problem solved.  I just uninstalled ie and reinstalled.

Next time maybe you should check the running processes in task manager, I had a similar problem where IE process didnt fully close and was interrupting everything i was doing, make sure you add _IEQuit at the end of your script if you are done with the webpage
