Have created an HTML page with some VBScript. It is only to be run locally but IE blocks it. How do I allow it under XP and under Vista.

In what sense do you mean "IE blocks it"? Do you mean that it comes up with a security warning message, or do you just get the code as the result and obviously nothing was executed?

With XP, IE froze, and I had to re-boot. Under Vista the code was ignored but with a security warning, and I had to select the 'allow' option then it worked as expected. I think I have to lower the security somehow - can this be done for local script only ?

I can't remember exactly how you allow scripting but you could try putting the site into your list of trusted sites.
