Webshots and SP2???

I know very little about Webshots. I friend had it installed on a Windows HE SP1a system,
and the desktop wallpaper used to download and change at certain intervals. She now has a
new SP2 system. After Installing Webshots on the new system, each time a new wallpaper is
automatically downloaded, because of the SP2 security, instead of the new wallpaper
replacing the old, she gets a dialog box about the dangers of downloading files from the
internet, and if she accepts the download, rather than the wallpaper being automatically
replaced, she gets a Save As window. I have already looked at the Webshots web site, and
there is nothing about security settings that should be changed for SP2 for a fluid change
of desktop wallpaper upon the automatic download timed interval. Does anyone with SP2 use
Webshots for their desktop wallpaper, and know which security settings should be changed
to avoid the warning messages, and have a fluid change of the desktop wallpaper, without
the save as box coming up?

This sounds like a firewall issue to me and has got nothing to do with
webshots. I use webshots in WinXP SP2 and have none of these issues you are
explaining. There are exceptions within the windows firewall you could set
to remove this issue, or you could just disable the firewall altogether, or
use another firewall application. It could also have something to do with
the antivirus software on her machine if she has one. You could also set
exception within the antivirus software.
