This used to work for months and now I cannot load more than two IE instances.

        Dim loInternetExplorer As Object = Nothing

        loInternetExplorer = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
        loInternetExplorer.Visible = True
        loInternetExplorer.Navigate("http://www.domain.com")
        apiShowWindow(loInternetExplorer.hwnd, SW_MAXIMIZE)
        Do While (loInternetExplorer.Busy)
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
        Loop

        loInternetExplorer = Nothing

        loInternetExplorer = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
        loInternetExplorer.Visible = True
        loInternetExplorer.Navigate("http://www.domain2.com")
        apiShowWindow(loInternetExplorer.hwnd, SW_MAXIMIZE)
        Do While (loInternetExplorer.Busy)
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
        Loop

        loInternetExplorer = Nothing

        loInternetExplorer = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
        loInternetExplorer.Visible = True
        loInternetExplorer.Navigate("http://www.domain3.com")
        apiShowWindow(loInternetExplorer.hwnd, SW_MAXIMIZE)
        Do While (loInternetExplorer.Busy)
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
        Loop

        loInternetExplorer = Nothing

I thought it was a memory issue. It is not. Even after a reboot, this is the same. This started to be like that weeks ago and never went ok after. It loads the first two. Then, on the third one, it gives an unhandled error about late binding.

The only think I can see is a Windows update triggered something in regards to IE which I cannot use it like that anymore.

I tried to put timeout between each. This did not change anything. I tried creating object for each instance. That did not change anything.

Anyone would know what is wrong here?
