My Pictures Help

since i bought my kodak V1253 camera when i download my pics from hard drive i have always put the usb cable from camera to hard drive then a box comes up ,upload pics then they went straight into my pictures for some reason its not working, i put the kodak easy share cd into my pc and now my pics when i do the same goes into their album, its a nusisance as im having problems transferring them over to my pictures on my pc in start, has anyone any idea how i can correct this with my kodak camera.i have put the usb lead from my camera to hard drive and just nothing is happening on my pc, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks rosa

 

Only a suggestion. The Kodak info on your PC has become "corrupted"
Go to start>control panel>add/remove programmes and remove the Kodak programme.
Re boot your PC


Then reinstall the Kodak software.

The thinking is reinstalling the software as you did, it uses the previous installation as a reference, so the bit that is wrong stays there, and stays wrong. Removing it, and ALL of its parts means when you reinstall it after add/ remove should mean the "corrupted bit" was also removed

No G'Tee it will cure it though, but I had a similar problem with my Fuji camera software.

 

A suggestion rosa.
Has your PC got a SD card reader?
If so try removing the SD card from the camera putting it in card reader slot and transferring your pics direct to your chosen PCs hard drive location.
I find doing it this way is very quick compared to any USB connection.
It bypasses any camera software and makes for less complications.

watergarden i have re installed it twice and its still doing it, i have a fuji camera and took pics with that this morning and they have downloaded no problem onto my pc.the only thing i didnt do before re-installing kodak software is re-boot pc should i do it again

capney i have an MMD/SD on my hard drive i took the car reader out of my kodak yesterday and put it in and nothing it didnt want to know

 

hi woo right ive done that and still that kodak upload comes up should i take that kodak software off my system as i really dont like it, but took it off before and my kodak camera would not upload my pics.

 

hi woo, went back in its definately import pictures using windows i changed it to that so iff i take this kodak software off my system should my kodak camera download pics the usual way, after you answer to this i will then go ahead and take software off, thanks woo

 

hi woo, just tried it and kodak gallery came up so i took usb out of camera and took that off

 

If the Kodak software is installed to run in the background when the computer is started up (this is how it is installed automatically)then it will automatically store the pictures in the public pictures folder under Kodak pictures. What i have done is blocked the easyshare program from running automatically as i found this and other programs were draining memory when i did not need to use them. To do this you type (msconfig) in the windows search box this will list a program called system configuration. Run this and select the startup tab. this will list all of the programs that will run when you start up your pc. On the list will be the Kodak program simply click on the tick box and click apply. This procedure will stop it from running on startup and you will have a small box appear saying windows has blocked some programs on starup when you next start up the computer. Once you have done this if you plug the camera into the usb the computer will list the camera along with the other drives Double clicking the camera will list its memory card and built in memory. Once you see these it is a simple task of drag and drop the pictures into any folder you like. Hope this is of some help.

 

thanks steve, i have uninstalled the kodak picture gallery so now i go from start then find windows picture gallery which i then put my usb cable from my camera into hard drive and pics come up, iff i connect my camera the box doesnt come up automatically, it used to these past 6 months and i dont know why it has stopped coming up

 

The same happens if i plug my kodak camera into the pc. I have to go into the computer where it lists all the drives and copy them across manually. Any other device be it a camera,phone or usb drive the box appears giving me the option to transfer the pictures . Also the videos don't play on anything but the kodak program. What version of windows do you have i have vista premium. not sure if some of the updates may have affected it, i know the box used to come on with kodak cameras.

 

hi steve, my kodak camera ive had 1 year now and my pc i bought before xmas but didnt get it rigged up till january it is a packard bell vista home premium, my camera had no problems downloading as soon as usb lead went into hard drive that box came up straight away to upload pics this has just started so with help of woo i put in windows photo gallery so i now go into all programs and download my pics that way.
i have a fuji s9600 camera and have no problems downloading pics they come up straight away.
see you live in penshaw my grandma used to live in chester-le-street and growing up she used to always go to penshaw monument mind ive never been always kept saying i was going to visit there but still not got round to it maybe one day.
