UFT detects 2 internet explorer browsers but only 1 is displayed

Question

In one of our test machines, 2 browsers are counted though only 1 is displayed, causing UFT not to identify and enter value to objects since we are using RegEx:

Browser("title:=.*").Page....

We are using the below line to initialize IE:

InvokeApplication "C://Program Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE"

What is the workaround for this?

UFT version is 12.02.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all your input. I learned a lot from you. I already found the root cause. It was after all not the multiple open browsers but a timing issue with the log in page for one of the machines. The email address text box object is visible however, it cannot be identified by UFT immediately that is why I added a sync point to wait max of 4 minutes until object.Exist(240)=true. Thank you all!
