1---Enable protected mode for all zones You need to enable protected mode for all zones from Internet Options -> Security tab. To enable protected mode for all zones

Open Internet Explorer browser.
Go to menu Tools -> Internet Options.
Click on Security tab.
Select Internet from "Select a zone to view or change security settings" and Select(check) check box "Enable Protected Mode" from In the "Security level for this zone" block .
Apply same thing for all other 3 zones -> Local Internet, Trusted Sites and Restricted Sites

This setting will resolve error related to "Protected Mode settings are not the same for all zones.

2-- Set IE browser's zoom level 100%

Open Internet Explorer browser.
Go to menu View -> Zoom -> Select 100%

You must set Protected Mode settings for each zone to be the same value  Enhanced Protected Mode for all zones must be same   I prefer it to be disabled as this is the requirement for IE 10 and higher     Additionally   Enhanced Protected Mode  must be disabled for IE 10 and higher  This option is found in the Advanced tab of the Internet Options dialog   How to do above steps     Have look at this video  http   screencast com t 5nlxsrje4I   I have showed the steps   Source  https   code google com p selenium wiki InternetExplorerDriver Required Configuration  Hope this helps  Thank you
