If you are affected by local machine lockdown [watch wrap]
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/security/productinfo/XPSP2/securebrowsing/localloc
kdown.aspx), then you can disable it in Internet Options -> Advanced ->
Security [At the bottom]. You can disable local machine lockdown by checking
"Allow active content to run in files from my computer" (Or CDs if you run
from CD).

Try converting your page into a HTML application (my HTML is pathetic but
AFAICT, renaming it to .hta seems to be enough).
