Armands,
Internet Explorer creates helper processes automatically when you are browsing pages and using tabs. These processes have the ixplore name. To recognize multiple iexplore processes, TestComplete has to use indexes. This causes problems as the indexes can change when you are running tests.
You can change this IE behavior by modifying the Windows Registry. For detailed instructions, see the following blog post:
Web Testing - Disabling Multiple Processes of Internet Explorer 8
or the Disabling Loosely Coupled Internet Explorer section in the Preparing Web Browser topic of the TestComplete 8 help.
TestComplete 9 uses another approach for working with IE, so changing the registry is not so important.
Anyway, I'm happy to hear you've solved the problem. :-)
