>How do you know that this operation is succeeding on your laptop?
Because the script closes the IE browsers that it finds.
>How do you know that this operation is failing on the desktops?
Because the script indicates that it found no IE browser and fails to close the existing IE browsers.
>What kind of error are you getting from the the PCs that are failing?
No error - the script simply indicates that 0 IE browsers are found, even though they do exist.
>Are the PCs actually running IE? The same version? Does that matter?
Yes, yes, and I don't know.

It's a guess. | [reply] |
OK -- how is Win32::Whatever finding these IE instances? Is it looking through the process table? Is it trying to make OLE connections? Could it be that the laptop is configured to come up with OLE connections enabled, while the PC is configured not to start OLE?
Can your script close any other OLE enabled application, on either the laptop or the PC?
