title: Why does InternetExplorer Object become unresponsive?
body: <p>I am attempting to login to a password protected site. I'm using the InternetExplorer Object in VBScript. Error lies after <code>oIE.readystate</code> value is read one time - that is, in my loop, it reads the <code>oIE.readystate</code> value one time, but upon the second time <code>oIE.readystate</code> value is attempting to be read, I get a "800A01CE" runtime error, stating "The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable:'oIE.readystate'"</p>
  
  <p>This code worked fine in IE6; my company implimented new AD policy (not sure how/if that affects this at all) and we are now using IE7. Im not sure if IE7 is somehow blocking the process after <code>oIE.readystate</code>. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><br>Notation:
  "-->" indicates that I am writing commentary about the output of the process directly after that particular line of code executes.</p>
  
  <pre><code>set oIe=wscript.createobject("InternetExplorer.Application", "IE_")
  oIe.navigate "www.google.com"
  
  do while oIe.readystate&lt;&gt;4
     msgbox "oIE readystate: " &amp; oIE.readystate
     ''#--&gt;gets here one time and outputs "oIE readstate: 0"
     wscript.sleep 1000
     msgbox "oIE readystate: " &amp; oIE.readystate
     ''#--&gt;errors out.
  loop
  
  msgbox "outside of oIE readystate: " &amp; oIE.readystate
  ''#---&gt;never gets here.
