Problem with Photostream on a PC with VISTA

[hasiel]

I have latest Vista SP installed. I installed the download for ICloud for Vista Control Panel. I followed Apple's instructions and am unable when I snap a picture to have it downloaded on my PC to the default directories.
I have done a iCloud backup a couple of times.
I have changed the directory destinations, turned off my firewall, and still not getting the pics on my PC.
Help is appreciated. Thanks..

Well, the problem has been partially solved. When using the free Camera Plus app, all works as it should. All pics that I take download successfully.
Does this mean that the the Apple Camera app is defective?
How do you fix this app, cannot be deleted on the IPOD.
