You must view the .wbz files through the Webshots Desktop software application or online. You cannot view them in other programs though XnView and Graphics Converter Pro may be able o convert them into a different format.
Downloading issues can be resolved by emptying your temporary files and enabling advertisements, cookies, and javascript. To do this, go into Internet Options and click on the Privacy tab. Here you can disable the pop-up blocker as well as change your settings for cookies. Do this at your own risk as you are opening up your system to all kinds of potential dangers and annoyances. You might want to make these settings site specific so that you allow cookies from Webshots but not from other websites. The same is true of the pop-up blocker; you can allow pop-ups from specific sites if you want.
