Change your User Agent to report a desktop browser.

Edit:

On the WebBrowser.Navigate method, you can pass a string with the UserAgent.

Take a look here: http://www.useragentstring.com/, which shows you what user agent strings are in use by known browsers and other web-clients. You can send the user agent string of a known (other) browser to identify yourself as that brower to the server.

You'll also find this helpful, I think: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2009/10/08/extending-the-user-agent-string-problems-and-alternatives.aspx. It's a Microsoft guy in charge of the IE user agent string.
