[Fixed] Internet Explorer Not Working In Windows 7 Or Vista is a post from TroubleFixers - All about fixing computer troubles

Trouble 1 :

I have a problem opening up group policy editor on my laptop running XP home from the run command. – Mark

Fix:

Group policy editor is not available for Home edition of Windows XP. You can use group policy editor by running “gpedit.msc” in professional edition of windows XP.

Trouble 2 :

I recently bought one Acer LCD monitor from our Kuwait local market. My problem is after I connect my Acer LCD to the CPU and just I want to format my computer so i put my Windows Operating system cd (Windows XP professional) in the drive to boot but that time the screen is shows input device not recognized and black screen and its written like "Input Device not Recognized".But if I remove the boot cd from the drive and start the computer its working normally so please suggest a solution to me. – Shan

Fix:

The reason as per what I can figure out is the graphic card to which the monitor has been connected. When you are using an operating system boot CD, that time connect the LCD monitor to the on-board VGA port at the back of the computer casing (which you are calling CPU). This will ensure that the video output is always there even in the absence of the graphics card driver.

After you install Windows XP, install the graphics driver on it, and connect the monitor back to the Graphics card. This should solve your trouble.

Trouble 3 :

I cannot access my registry editor. why ?  – Manas

Fix:

The registry editor gets disabled due to malicious scripts or viruses or trojans. To enable the registry editor, see these two links:

1. Registry Editing has been disabled by Administrator

Trouble 1 :

I have a peculiar problem.When i try to open few websites in my office like  www.cnnibn.com, its not loading..The page is blank.But when i use proxy server I can able  to load that website and some other websites like www.ndtv.com is not opening and I m getting blank page.   – Praveen

Fix:

This problem occurs due to two reasons, your office IT team have blocked these particular domains on their DNS, or they have blocked these sites using CHOSTS file entry for these sites. If you want to access them in such a case, you can keep using proxy, or change the DNS to Open DNS or Other DNS as suggested in this Article. Also check for the CHOSTS entries.

These are windows system files which are always there and are always hidden and not visible to users. Some times accidently or due to some software or malicious script, this settings get enabled. See this tutorial on hiding the system files to solve this problem.
