Problem with connectivity between QTP and HP Quality Center

[mrmartin683]

Hi,

I am receiving an error message when I attempt to connect/run a QTP script remotely using HP Quality Center.

- Our company is switching from Windows XP/IE7 to Windows7/IE8.
- I was able to successfully connect/run a QTP script remotely using HP Quality Center when we had XP/IE7.

I am not sure what the error message is trying to tell me. Is this something to do with Windows 7 or IE 8?? Perhaps it is a security issue blocking the connectivity?? Has anyone ecountered this behavior before??

Below are the specifics of my problem.

Any help would be appreciated - thanks!!
Mike
