Sidebar gadget and IE interaction

I'm having this problem between the sidebar gadget and IE:

For example when I log in on YouTube with IE it reminds me logged in but when I try to access YouTube from my sidebar gadget I'm not logged in any more. But if I debug the gadget on the IE it works.

Does anyone know why is this happening and how to solve

Simplified, what I want to do is log in on IE and use this "login" on my sidebar gadget. Is this possible

    If you're using a form with POST to login from your sidebar gadget, it won't work. Gadgets can't POST to web pages through IE.

    Yeah, asking people to disable "security" isn't an option. Bummer.

    This is part of the new security in Vista. To verify this, turn off IE7 "Protected Mode" and see if it work. It can only be avoided by turning protected mode off. Can someone please confirm this.

    Andy thanks for the answer. I'm login on IE and then I send a GET request from the gadget, but I debug a little more and found that the problem occurs not only in the sidebar but in IE7 on Windows Vista too. The weird thing is that it works fine when I test it on IE7 on Windows XP, I think it is because a security issue or a bug of IE7 for Windows Vista.

    More details about the problem:
    In IE7 on Windows Vista when I open the gadget on a tab I can't use another tab. IE7 opens a new window when I try to use a new tab.
    I don't have this problem with IE7 on Windows XP.

    Is this a security issue of IE7 for Windows Vista or just a bug .
    If it is a security issue can be avoided

    Ty you are right, this solves my problem, but it's not funny to ask the user to disable the "Protected Mode" and see that message in the IE all the time.
