What version of TestComplete?
What does your code look like?
What are you doing in your tests with IE?
I use IE all the time with TestComplete and, while occasionally I get a browser crash, not nearly that frequently and I have my automation set in such a way that it doesn't impact my tests.
Hello Robert,
What version of TestComplete?
It is TestComplete 12.6
What does your code look like?
Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run ("http://denu00ms0087.phoenix.loc:82/jde/E1Menu.maf")
Also, I tried using TesttedRun.URLName.Run. But still IE is failing frequently.
What are you doing in your tests with IE?
I am launching the browser with the application URL.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Nimish

So, it crashes on launch? Is that what you're saying? If that's the case, then no, I'm not experiencing that problem.
Something you need to make sure of... IE sometimes tends to hang around in process memory after it has been closed. When you close a browser instance, you should make sure all copies of the process have been closed as well. I've experienced situations where, if I didn't do this, a number of strange problems would happen.
The following code is what I use to ensure this
function closeIEInstance() { var counter = 0; var browser; browser = Sys.WaitBrowser('iexplore', 1000); while((browser.Exists) && (counter < 60)){ counter++; browser.Terminate(); browser = Sys.WaitBrowser('iexplore', 1000); } }

Sorry for responding late. Yes Robert suggestion has helped me to resolve this issue. For closing, the browser, we need to use .terminate rather than close. Once I made this small change, IE is not crashing anymore.
Thanks Robert....
