If you're using the Visual Studio plug-in and trying to run your test in Internet Explorer, make sure that Visual Studio was started as administrator. Our plug-in requires administrator level access in order to take control of Internet Explorer.

<p>No. You can only install one version of the browser on a machine at a time. Test Studio will run the test in whatever version is currently installed. There is no mechanism to instruct Test Studio to run the test in a specific browser version such as IE 8.<br><br>

<p>This message is displayed when your scheduling server is trying to execute a previously scheduled test list from any project. Since multiple people on a testing team can share the same scheduling server, it may not have been from your project.<br><br>

Sometimes a scheduled job can get stuck, for example the target execution server is not available, which prevents your scheduled job from executing since all job will be executed serially. If you need to purge scheduled jobs which are not visible in your <a href="/getting-started/test-results/Calendar" target="_blank">Results view</a>, follow these steps:<br><br>
474
-
1. Open the Windows Services control panel.<br><br>
475
-
2. Stop the Telerik Scheduling Service.<br><br>
476
-
3. Now you need to locate and delete the scheduled jobs. These jobs are stored as files that have a GUID as their name e.g. "c23710cf-45a1-44b2-a692-2d012a335df8". They can be in one of three locations:<br><br>
C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\Telerik\TestStudio\Scheduler\ScheduleStorage<br><br>
480
-
4. Go back to the Windows Service control panel.
481
-
5. Restart the Telerik Scheduling Service.<br><br>
482
-
NOTE: This process will delete all scheduled jobs, including your recurring jobs. Unfortunately there is no way to identify which one is the one that is stuck and delete just that one.
