I'm checking a website often and there is a box (check box) that I need to check but it is disabled in my laptop. But when I tried opening that site in my sister's computer, the box is enabled. Do you think there is something wrong with my laptop? Can you help me with this. I tried looking for online help but I can't find any solution or answer to my problem. Thanks guys!

Have you tried the site on your laptop in a different browser? It sounds like the box you want to check may be from another site. Often times pages have elements to them that do not originate from the original site. You can have your browser set to not allow 3rd party content or re-directs, and that can cause what you are seeing. From what you are saying it sounds like you are trying this with Internet Explorer, and it has a lot of security settings that could prohibit redirection.
Just be careful as there may be a reason that your security settings are not allowing you to check that box.
It may also be a problem that you do not have (or not updated) Flash or Java on your laptop.

Yes, I did try the sites on a different browser, chrome, firefox and IE but its still the same. But after updating Java, it worked. Thanks!

Hello,
You are very welcome!
Good to hear that you have the problem solved. If you didn't already, grab yourself the Flash update as well. There are separate ones for Firefox and IE; Chrome has it's own version of Flash integrated in the browser, so you need not concern yourself with it.
