Okay ........ I havent solved that particular problem but I have resolved my
question of getting photos from my camera to my computer. Following on from my
last email, I have uninstalled the kodak software and downloaded and installed
a trial version of ACDSee and my photos transfer perfectly!! Considering ACDSee
will cost me $80USD to buy at the end of the 30 day trial, I would still like
to get the kodak stuff going again, if possible, as I do have other programmes
that I can enhance and do all sorts of things to photos with because the kodak
is pretty basic. It IS free though. Maybe next week (during business hours) I
can outline all this to the kodak techie and he can explain what has happened,
but somehow I doubt it. Anyway folks, all's well that ends well - at the moment
at least. Thank you all for your help and advice. If anyone has any particular
thoughts on why this has happened, I'd love to hear them. Bye for now, Sandy

Hi all
When I try to check system information, it brings up Norton Utilities 2002
System Information. Now thats annoying because I uninstalled NU a very long
time ago (actually when I installed XP). Anywhow, my point is that I dont know
where to go to check forced hardware or conflicts.
Now, I have fathomed something out but cant explain why. I tried using a
different USB port (which I had done previously) and no change. Then I
completely uninstalled the kodak software again and then just plugged the
camera in (via its usual USB port) and hey presto the Windows box comes up
asking what programme do I want to use to view the pictures. Unfortunately, it
didnt list many, not even Irfanview, so I had to choose the Windows Camera and
Scanner Wizard. It all worked okay and I could download the photos to wherever
I wanted. However, I could only view them in the Windows Picture Viewer (or
whatever it is called). I did notice though that when the camera did connect
this way, an H drive did not appear in Windows Explorer; the camera just showed
as DX 4330 digital camera as the last entry under My Computer just above where
it says My Network Places (hope you understand that vague description).
Then I downloaded and installed the kodak software again and it was back to
the old problem. No transfer, H drive appears etc etc.
Now I hope you can work that out for me, cos I sure cant !!!
Thanks everyone for your input, look forward to hearing from you.
Sandy :)

In my opinion, the error lies within Windows' USB controllers
and a giant glitch in windows usb installations comes about many a time if
you conect up the device before the drivers are installed... some devise
instruct you to install drivers then connect others say connect and install
drivers and then you find it doesnt work... most times I install drivers and
then check to see if are installed and then connect the device and all is
well..... also when comes to camreas and imaging devices a conflict comes about
due to TWAIN drivers in conflict..... check your system information in the
tools sections... look under forceed hardware or conflicts headings.. might
help you some there
