I can't seem to find anything via google and was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem?

I had the same problem at random positions in the test. I was already running in the trusted zone.
Adding a
at each problem location "solved" the problem or at least its symptoms for me. At least I do not get the error anymore and am able to run the tests.
It seems to be a race condition somewhere.
The solution for me was to uninstall the Trusteer Rapport browser security software that my bank offers. I had forgotten it was even installed.
Try my answer to other question:
WatiN permissions problem when eval javascript code
It can happen when the HTML is not entirely loaded You can add Sleep or add the wait for complete command
The best way is to catch the specific exception and try it again:
