Unable to access HP PC Hardware Diagnostics

[Nukesnipe]

So I booted up my notebook to do something on it, and noticed that, despite having been plugged in for quite a while, it was at 57% charge.  I looked this up and it was suggested that I need to calibrate my battery, since obviously a 4 year old notebook is going to have lost some of its charge.  To do this, I was directed to first install the HP PC Hardware Diagnostic tool, and then run it.  I installed it, but every time I try to run it, I just get a window with a header bar with "to help protect your security your web browser has restricted this file".  I've got no idea how to get rid of this, I read that it's apparently an issue with Internet Explorer, which I've since gone in and disabled the offending setting and completely disabled IE, but it still happens.

Any suggestions?
