Windows Vista Internet Explorer Not Rendering Local HTML Forms and Pages on Vista Home Premium

It sounds like you are experiencing a common issue with Internet Explorer (IE) in Windows Vista Home Premium where HTML forms and certain web pages do not display properly when accessed locally. This can be due to security settings in Internet Explorer that prevent certain scripts or functionalities from running on local files for security reasons. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue: 1. Security Settings: - Check the security settings in Internet Explorer for local files. Sometimes, IE blocks scripts or other content from running on local files to prevent potential security risks. 2. Compatibility View: - Try adding the local file path to the compatibility view settings. This sometimes helps render the page as it would on a web server. 3. ActiveX Controls: - Ensure that ActiveX controls are not being blocked. Sometimes, certain functionalities in IE require ActiveX controls to be enabled. 4. IE Settings Reset: - Resetting Internet Explorer settings to their default state can sometimes resolve such issues. You can do this by going to Internet Options -> Advanced -> Reset. 5. Third-Party Software: - Check if any third-party security software is blocking certain content on local files. Temporarily disabling such software can help identify if it's causing the issue. By trying these steps, you may be able to diagnose and resolve the problem with HTML forms and web page display in Internet Explorer on your Windows Vista system.
