RPC server not available

I occasionally get the following error when running a script that is using IE:

RPC server not available.

When I get the error, Macro Scheduler seems to be running the script even though IE is not active. I stop the script and restart and all seems to be fine.

I don't know what is causing that but I would check your IE installation, make sure you are running the latest service packs etc. Check any browser add-ons etc. Also do a virus scan - make sure you have the latest updates from your antivirus vendor.

It seems that the error was the result of killing IE then starting IE with the same session ID. I think there were times when the IE session wasn't all the way dead before I started it again. I put a delay between the kill and the start and I haven't received the error since (knock on wood).
