    Unable to download photos

    I have a new laptop and am experiencing Vista for the first time. I use
    webshots.com to download photos for my background and screensaver. I am able
    to access their website and even downloaded the photo manager program.
    However, when I try to login or download any photos, it does not recognize
    anything and keeps trying to get me to login. Webshots states that the
    problem is with Vista and I am inclined to agree as I have it on a desktop
    here at home also and have no issues using Windows. I have tried adding the
    site to allowable sites in the internet section and have even turned off the
    firewall in case that was the issue. It still does not work. Any suggestions?

    Right-click on the IE shortcut icon and select the Start without add-ons
    option. You can then manage which add-ons are enabled, in Tools | Manage
    Add-ons, after you've started IE7.

    I am accessing the site from AOL. However, I did as you suggested and the
    site is already listed as enabled. It still does not work. When I access
    webshots from IE, the pictures don't load, so that is why I was using AOL.
    Any other suggestions?
