Re: [OpenSTA-users] Gateway initialization problem

[Bernie V. <Ber...@iP...>]

Olivier ,

Based on prior questions of the same nature, It is likely that gateway is 
not gracefully shutting down when you stop recording. So when you try to 
start another recording, you get the init error. I trust you are not using 
Vista. IE7 is know to not work with HTTPS recording. IE7 can also try to 
open HTTPS links when trying to do "anti-phishing" stuff which causes 
problems. If on Vista, try XP or Win 2003. If IE6 is an option, try that ... 
OpenSTA 1.4.4, IE6, and Win 2003 or XP Pro are a proven stable combination.

Lastly, something might have gotten trashed in the install. Be sure you have 
admin privs both to install and run OpenSTA. To re-install, run the .msi 
file, and select remove. Reboot. Run the .msi and  select install. Reboot. 
Try a fresh recording, using IE6 if possilbe.

All the best,
