How to extract/import photos from 'PhotoStream' in Windows 7 ?

I took some photos some days ago and I got no time to import them to my PC. But yesterday when I connected my iPhone to my PC a message appeared saying my iPhone needs to be restored. So I did. iTunes automatically downloaded iOS and restored my iPhone from iCloud backup. And all my photos (that I mentioned earlier) were just on 'PhotoStream' but not on 'Camera Roll'. And I tried to copy photos from PhotoStrem to Camera Roll as well but it didnt help. I couldn't copy those and also I couldn't extract photos out of PhotoStream.

So please help me get my photos.

PS

Those photos are really important to me. 🙂

iPod touch, iOS 4.3.3

No it didnt help!

I want to have all those photos that are saved in PHOTSTREAM to my PC. In the photostream section there is an option to save photos to CAMERAROLL but when I do that it doesn't copy those pictures! I need help!

Photostream, when enabled, only makes sense if you use multiple device. If you have those other devices you can get your pictures from those. If you don't, you misunderstood the function of the photostream. It is not sync service. It's purpose to stream real time only, does not go backwards. If you did set up your pc with photostream correctly, your pictures are there already, inside of photostream folder in MY pictures, or pictures folder. If you didn't set up correctly - here are instructions for the future http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
