Check Operating System
Microsoft stops updating Windows XP and Vista versions in the early years. Even all AceThinker tools do not apply to those two versions out of security concerns. In case your Windows OS is still an XP or Vista, upgrading the latest Windows version is strongly recommended. Otherwise, you won't be able to use any AceThinker tools.
Check IE Browser
AceThinker tools are only applicable to the latest version of Internet Explorer, which is the IE9. That is why upgrading your Windows OS to the newest releases like 7, 8, or 10 is highly recommended because of older versions like XP and Vista won't be able to run IE9 and the AceThinker tools. Follow the steps below to check the version of the IE browser.
- First, launch the Internet Explorer on your PC.
- Next, click the "Gear" button, located at the top right corner of the Internet Explorer web page and click the "About Internet Explorer" from the dropdown menu.

Then, restart the AceThinker tool after installing IE11, and check if you can visit its official website.
