You have to make sure that you allow your program to access the internet. By default, the firewall is set to block all of your programs. To make an exception:
Click the Start button, go to Control Panel, click Security, and then click the Windows Firewall.
In the left pane, click "allow a program through Windows Firewall."
You have to have an adminstrator account, and you may be prompted for the password at this point.
Check box next to the American Greetings, and then click OK. The other problem you can run into is with active x controls. Allow programs you trust to run this code, or you will not have full use.
I hope this helped. If you have time, please let me know if this addressed your problem by rating the solution before you go. Thanks for using fixya!
