When some of the events run that access resources on the internet, for RSS feeds, weather grabbers, etc., I sometimes see an error with a site being available. The thing is... it IS available, but apparently IEXPLORE.exe process is hung in the background and won't grab any more web site data until I either restart HS or stop the iexplore.exe process (manually right now).
Is there a simple way to monitor whether the iexplore.exe process is hung, and a way to correct it or prevent it?
My windoze event logs show nothing out of the ordinary. My HS logs show at least 1 web site is offline, but it isn't, nor is the HS computer's ability to connect. As soon as I manually shut down iexplore.exe process via task mgr or restart HS, problem solved.
The HS computer is hard-wired into the router with a quality cable, with no errors to speak of reported on the LAN or WAN.
My *guess* is it is a security issue with Norton Antivirus or some other thing stopping iexplore from running and doing it's job. I have not had any success at tracking it down, and don't want to stop the AV software to test the theory.
Anyone else have similar problems, and if so, did you find a simple work-around? Personally, I'd prefer it if HS didn't leave iexplore.exe running between calls, then I could quickly see an escalation of errors and see HS needs some of my attention.
Comments welcome.
