  I am experiencing an issue with a local website (running on C:\foldername...) on a Surface Pro with Windows 8. This same application is running fine on other Windows 8 machines and on Windows 7 machines as well.

  I am getting the "Automation server can't create object" which I've found all over the internet. The proposed solution was to set the site to a trusted site and change the security for active X to enable in security > trusted sites.

  Problem #1 - I can't get it to add C:\... to trusted sites. And from what I've read, I shouldn't have to.

  Problem #2 - If I change these setting for the "Internet zone" it actually works and doesn't give me that error! I'm not sure why C:\ would be in the internet zone, but it seems to be.

  Problem #2c: Also related to #2, I am getting a permission denied on XMLHTTPRequest to a web service set up on Localhost.
