;;HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM OCCURS

_IENavigate($oIE, $re2, 1)

It just sits there and I get the following error:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (434) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:

$o_object.navigate ($s_Url)

$o_object.navigate ($s_Url)^ ERROR

It was working fine, then I had to have changed something???? I just can't figure out what..

There is no need for all the send/sleep junk. If you will give a detailed description of what you are trying to accomplish I'm sure we can simplify your script.

There is no need for all the send/sleep junk. If you will give a detailed description of what you are trying to accomplish I'm sure we can simplify your script.

The Sleeps are needed for the first run or it does not work right: Here is the whole code. What the script does is vote on vh1.com . I will also include the ini file it is reading from. The lines that are commented out are not used this week as they move the people around in the list.

Run it and you will see what it does.

InetGet("http://www.gamezrx.com/downloads/bbversion.ini", "bbversion.ini")

$chk = IniRead("bbversion.ini", "version", "ver", "NotFound")

If $chk > 1.4 Then

$size = InetGetSize("http://www.gamezrx.com/downloads/Brooke BOT.exe")

InetGet("http://www.gamezrx.com/downloads/Brooke BOT.exe", "c:\Program Files\Brooke BOT\Brooke BOT.exe", 1, 1)

If @InetGetBytesRead <> $size Then MsgBox(16, "Brooke BOT Update", "Error occurred During Update", 10)

Its Flash driven so I won't be able to help like I initially thought.

[Wisniske]

I am just needing to know why the

_IENavigate($oIE, $re2, 1)

isn't working any longer..

Any idea's??

[DaleHohm]

You might want to try an _IELoadWait($oIE) prior to the navigate.

If that doesn't fix it you'll need to cut it down to a much smaller reproducer.
