I have a file that, when opened under IE7 & Windows XP, displays fine but under IE7 and Vista, it comes up with the "Internet Explorer has restricted this page from running scripts or ActiveX controls" message. I progressively whittled down the HTML (which had no scripts) to:
Code: 
<html>
<body>
blah blah
</body>
</html>

and I still get the message. Am I missing something?

I just happened to see that after I'd posted mine. Spooky! I will keep an eye on that thread.

It's odd that I get different syptoms between XP & Vista but IE settings may be different I guess.

Under Vista I ticked the IE setting:

"Allow active content to run in files on My Computer"

and it did the trick. This is not ticked on the XP box but it behaves perfectly anyway. Ours is not to reason why.
