    I tried using the script v1 and when I select Internet Explorer it starts in safe mode (without the flash addons) and I cannot play the videos - even though I ran the script as admin.

    Thank you for letting me know myxcon. I don't have Internet Explorer installed so I couldn't really tell if it would work or not(I use firefox). I uploaded the modified script. let me know if it works or not

    When I select IE and then it opens the Avatar link what do I have to do to get it to open the second video link? It won't open it unless I close the IE - Avatar window.

    Just curious, on the settings of Internet Explorer, when you click on a link, do you have it to open on a new tab or on a new window?

    Ok I got it to work. I had extracted the .bat file in a folder on the desktop. I just ran the .bat file directly off desktop. Don't remember if you mentioned it in the first post. but just a heads up about it. :)

    Thank you for taking the time with this thread to begin with. Here is a report after running the .bat file. Hope it's relevant, as I do believe it ran for a too short time.

    Yeah... the time was too short, 21 sec. No latency on this trace :D

    I'll redo the trace later in the evening when I get home, in manual mode, and post the results.

    LE:

    I keep getting this error now. - i deleted the .html and .etl file created from the first trace. If I let it run it opens the report from the first trace (the 21s one). What to do?

    With the script, when you are on that step
    tracing.png
    you can leave it for as long as you want, no need to rush
    I just mention it in case you pressed it fast because of the message

    So even though you deleted the dpcisr.html and the test01.etl it still opens the old 21sec one? Weird...
    About the error of the tracelog I have to check and see what it is. I can't reproduce it

    EDIT
    For a reason the tracelog didn't stop.
    Open a command prompt as administrator and type:
    tracelog -stop (press enter)

    just in case do it twice to make sure it stoped

    I stopped running the auto file since it's not running all the time. Either it won't open the second IE window, either it wont stop the tracelog (as you said before).

    Here is a test I did manually. Any new/relevant info?

    Fixed the script to properly stop the tracing. Now it has to run as intended.
