Updated iCloud control panel - can't sync photos

I downloaded and installed the new iCloud control panel 3.0 on my Windows 7 PC. When it first opened, it wouldn't allow me to sign in with my Apple ID and password. After exiting and restarting the control panel, it allowed me to sign in, but has shaded out the option to check the "Photos" box to allow for my photostream to sync to my PC. How do I fix this or how do I get rid of the new version and go back to the old one?

I should add - the old version was working flawlessly immediately prior to update.

I'm having this exact same problem. I've even tried repairing the installation. All other features of iCloud work great.

I also tried the repair installation. Ultimately, when I completely uninstalled all traces of iCloud and re-installed just the new version (and restarted my computer a couple times), everything now appears to be working as it should. Good luck with yours!
