I have installed Windows 7 64-bit on my laptop. I tried the command
gpedit.msc
but the window doesn't appear. Is there any reason for this or can I fix this?

Microsoft has included the Policy Editor only in the Enterprise and Ultimate versions of Windows 7.
Method One:
You may try running an SFC scan in an elevated command prompt:
1. Type cmd in your start menu
2. Right click on cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator
3. In the command shell type out:
SFC /scannow
For more information on the SFC command try this
Method Two:
You may try creating a new administrator account and trying to run the tool from there.
However, my guess is that you're using one of the more basic Microsoft Windows versions, one that doesn't allow Gpedit.msc and the tool isn't available for you.
There may be an alternative method, if you are using Windows Home Basic, you may try this - however, note that this is a third party tool. I personally wouldn't recommend it, but if you would like to try it, go ahead. It does look rather shady though. :/

Gpedit.msc is not included with Windows 7 or Vista Home Premium. It's only available in Windows 7/Vista Business, Ultimate and Enterprise editions.
