DX Widgets and Windows 7 Security
Can't open widget
Monday, October 26, 2009 by Mirsguy | Discussion: DesktopX
I am trying to load a widget. It's a new widget that Redneck Dude just built for my new "Tinted" theme. This widget works great on my Vista laptop, but my Windows 7 desktop doesn't want to open it.
I get a warning message that says that my "internet security settings prevented...(it) from being opened."
I've adjusted my firewall settings, my ie security settings, and I don't know what else to do! Anyone got any ideas?

Tools > Internet Settings > Security > Local intranet settings > changes needed to run, read them all ?
Tools > Internet Settings > Advanced > Security > Allow files to run ticked ?, check others too
UAC too high ?

I got it fixed.
It was not a UAC issue. I had to manually edit the looooong list of ie settings down to a lower level. Very annoying. 
Thanks all for trying to help!
