Sounds like you have more serious issues than just can't start group policy editor. My suggestion is to run the system file checker in command mode - sfc /scannow but in your case I would run it from Safe Mode as this will run with a minimal amount of drivers and programs necessary. Let us know if it find any files that need repair, or if it can't repair them. (below makes references to Vista, but it still applies to Windows 7)In the event of that happening, if you are still having problems after a SFC scan with corrupt files it couldn't fix, then you can try a In-Place Upgrade which will do a repair of the operating system. You will need to have the DVD installation disc from the PC manufacturer. BACK UP all of your data you want to save just incase something goes wrong!Note: After performing In-Place Upgrade, your personal data and installed programs will not be removed but you may need to run Windows Update to install all the available updates for your system to update these system files to the current version. This troubleshooting process is time consuming and may take several hours to complete. If you would like to perform the In-place Upgrade, let’s refer to the following steps. 1. Start the computer by using the current Operating System. 2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD in the computer's DVD drive. 3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate: • If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install Now screen appears. Click Install Now. • If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps: a. Click Start, click Run, type Drive:\setup.exe, and then click OK. Note Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive. b. Click Install Now. 4. When you reach the "Which type of installation do you want?" screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the current operating system to Windows Windows 7.MCSE, MCSA, MCDST [If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message.
