Why is my iCloud for Windows not working after upgrade?

Why is my iCloud for Windows not working after upgrade? I recently upgraded my iCloud for Windows to the latest version (Version 4.0.2) and accessing most of my contents from iPad 2 is really challenging. Why are the photos I add to my photo stream on a PC not available my iPad 2? Why can't I see friends photos, video and comments posted to my shared stream?
