In spite of your rude email to me not to respond to your help requests...

   If you want to stop the script from within the script - which you don't mention in your post - then you can either use a counter if you think it is caught in a loop, or use a time-out device if you know the script should never take more than a certain amount of time.

Ex 1: This script limits iterations to 20
'==========================================
i = 0

Do Until i = 20
    WScript.Echo i
    i = i + 1
Loop
'==========================================

Ex 2: This script shuts down after 5 seconds, even though the code will take a lot longer than that to execute.
'==========================================
WScript.Timeout = 5
i = 0

Do Until i = 3000000
    WScript.Echo i
    i = i + 1
Loop
'==========================================
