Strange Vista Sidebar Gadget Problem
So I got into developing a vista sidebar gadget and ran into a weird problem...The gadget uses simple ajax to call a server side script on a sub domain I have and the xmlHttpRequest.open() call in the gadget .html javascript gets a "Access is Denied" error. But here is the kicker...it only gets that error on Vista Home (basic or premium). On Vista Ultimate or Vista Business it works fine...Im at a loss. Im positive its the version that is causing the error because I have tested across multiple internet cnxns and mulitple Vista Home and Ultimate/Business installs with the same results. Anyone have any ideas at all?
Note: Iam using REST. I have tried turning off all antivirus and windows firewalls. I have tried adding the server domain to the trusted sites in IE7...(all these seem to be common problems I found when searching for a solution on the web before I posted here, so I thought Id mention as things ive already tried).
Thanks for any thoughts or help anyone has.

Figured it out...doesnt have anything to do with certian versions of Vista (I thought this from the begining, but was struggling to come up with any reason...still dont know why it worked on some not others though...). What was going on is that all the files for the gadget were "Blocked" because they came from another computer. So a few right click->properties->unblock

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and in almost every mainstream web browser.
