Imagine the site is www.myfoobar.com
Use default settings, and set the additional settings:

1. Options / Scan rules:
erase default values, and type:
-* +www.myfoobar.com/*

2. Options / Spider / Spider : 
set to "no robots.txt"

3. Options / Browser ID / Browser "identity" :
set to the Internet Explorer one (the first entry)

4. Options / Browser ID / Html footer :
set to "(none)"

This should work if there is not too much javascript or 
flash inside, but you'll have to change few pages, I 
imagine (for example, database access)
