IE8 Web Browser control error

I have an ActiveX control that utilizes the Web Browser control to display
webpages. On PCs with IE8, sometimes the following error occurs:

An action cannot be completed because a component is not responding

I cannot reproduce the error when debugging. There are no issues on PCs with
IE7.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Is there a resolution?

Thanks, Bob

On Error Resume Next

The window displaying "An action cannot ..." seems to be generated by the OS.
It has the buttons "Switch To" and "Retry". I do not believe this issue is
some sort of trappable error.

Hi Bob,

That error occurs on the InternetExplorer object not the WebBrowser control?

Private Sub OpenNewIE(ByVal sURL As String)
'Open a new IE Window and navigate the specified url
On Error Resume Next
If myWB Is Nothing Then
Set myWB = New InternetExplorer
End If
myWB.Navigate2 sURL
Do While myWB.Busy
If Err.Number Then Exit Do
Loop
myWB.Visible = True
If Err.Number > 0 Then
MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical, App.ProductName
End If
End Sub

Put a loop in it while IE is busy. Sometimes though you have to get out of
there if an Addon causes a tab crash.

Regards.

Hi Bob,

Do you have the latest Maxthon browser installed? (or any other MSIE
browser?)

I am noticing these errors now once I have installed the latest Maxthon
update.

Regards.

The issue should be associated with the WebBrowser control, not IE object.
I believe the error occurs just after Navigate2 call. For example:

Call frmMain.WebBrowser.Navigate2(sURL)

Thanks, Bob

Only browser installed is IE8.
