By home laptop im assuming that your family has owned that computer, and was never on the hands of any company? Or anyone else before you guys?

What windows version are you running?

[ICT Tech]

No! Fresh out of the shop. and it's Windows XP

Something I've tried in the past is...

Go to 'regedit' right-click on each of the folders on the left hand side, select 'Permissions' and ensure that the 'Full Control' option for Administrators is checked. Do this for each folder.

Hope this helps...

no unfortunately it didn't work

[jd2kuk]

By 'gpedit', do you mean gpedit.msc, the group policy editor in microsoft management console?

[ICT Tech]

yeah - do you know how i could fix it ? ? ?

Best solution to all of Windows Xp's problems.

Reinstall windows. Then your Group Policy Editor will work.

Simple but effective.
