Please post the error message; so that we can assist. Also make sure you have Selenium webdriver package installed and also the IE driver exe path is correct.

Hii..

Try making changes in Internet options.

Go to settings in ie explorer. There you have internet options.
Click on it.
A window Internet properties is displayed.

Click on Security tab. There make sure that all the internet, intranet, etc 'enable protected mode' checkbox is disabled or not. If it is enabled, it should be enabled for all 4. if it is disabled, it should be disabled for all 4.

In privacy tab, enabling the popup blocker is optional. If it is working for above scenario, then no need of this, else you have to turn off.

It is client machine and not able to modify IE settings. Need admin permission to modify those. Getting admin permission is not possible.
Do we have any code to handle this?

Thanks..
