This is probably really obvious, but as you didn't mention it in your original post and you just downloaded the driver and your internal toy app is working, have you double-checked the security settings in IE as mentioned on the IEDriver code page: On IE 7 or higher on Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must set the Protected Mode settings for each zone to be the same value. Puerto Rico Cinco Siglos De Historia Francisco Scarano Pdf Printer. The value can be on or off, as long as it is the same for every zone. To set the Protected Mode settings, choose 'Internet Options.'
From the Tools menu, and click on the Security tab. For each zone, there will be a check box at the bottom of the tab labeled 'Enable Protected Mode'. If you were using a previous version of Selenium before, you've likely already done this, but I figured it was worth checking just to be sure. Well, the error message is misleading at least it was in my case. I had a system that was locked down by system administrator with Protected Mode: Off. So I wasn't able to switch the Protected mode.
Then I realized that the system had an admin user, so logged in as admin user and tried to switch the Protected Mode. It was still disabled.
Then I run Selenium under the admin user account and things worked just fine. So you may need to login with admin privileges to be able to run selenium. That trick worked for me.
