I'm having problems loading Kodak Easyshare into my computer because of
an error message 1402x17x2951053040x...whatever that is. Is there
something I can substitute in place of Easyshare that will download
pictures into my computer? Thanks.

You already have it. Use the supplied usb cable and download them by
use of the windows explorer.

But it always helps to know what operating system we're talking about.
When posting this type of problem, always supply adequate details.

Sorry...it's XP. I have it on my computer and my bro-in-law has it on
his too but his Easyshare isn't working. Yes I have the USB, but how
can I do it through IE? I'm not too knowledgeable on something like
this. Thanks for replying.

Not Internet Explorer, windows explorer

Windows explorer should be on your start menu under accessories.
It is a road map of your computer. You will find your drives C:, D:,
ect. on its left pane. You will also find your camera in its left
pane.

If you are unfamiliar then try to follow this:

1. Plug your camera into the computer with the supplied usb cable.
2. Turn your camera on.
3. Wait for windows XP to automatically install the new hardware for
this camera. Watch the pop ups in the lower right corner. When done it
will say your new hardware is ready to use.
4. Open windows explorer. (under accessories)
5. Navigate to the proper window. Usually click the plus sign on "my
computer"
6. Find the Kodak drive. It will be gray in color. double click it.
7.When you find the Kodak drive and double click it its contents will
show in the right pane.
8. Expand the proper folder in the right pane. (double click it)
9 Cut or copy and paste the pictures to a location of your choice.
Either make a new folder, or use the my pictures folder or just
navigate to any location in the right hand pane of the explorer and
paste them there.

Once done make sure the pictures are present on your computer at the
location you picked, and then click the hardware icon on the right
side of the task bar. Follow the prompts to stop the hardware. When
prompted you can turn the camera off and then unplug it.

DONE.

You don't use IE, but Windows Explorer. When you plug in the camera, XP
should see it as a disk drive. Just locate the image files, and drag
them to your HD, and use any kind of editing program you like. Picasa 2
seems to be a good one for the novice.

Hi.

You should not need any additional software on your computer to download
pictures from your camera.

Connect the camera to the computer using a USB cable. Switch the camera on.
Go to my computer and you should see a new Drive has appeared.
That will be the camera.
Just click through that drive and folders until you see the picture files,
then select all of them and "Copy".
Go to the folder where you want to put them and "Paste".

It is considerable easier and safer to use a Card Reader, there will be no
chance of knocking your camera off the desk, or losing pictures because the
camera battery goes flat while transferring.

That's not totally correct. Only some cameras will show a drive letter
under My Computer. Canon models do not (they assign a name), however
it's not a problem. On my machine, when I plug the usb cable in and turn
the camera on, xp launches the camera and scanner wizard, but that may
be the way I have it configured. Anyway, you can use the wizard to
download, but I don't like that since the download options are limited
(they want to create a directory or something like that).
If you don't want to use the wizard, you can cancel. The camera will
then be displayed in the left panel of windows explorer with a name like
'canon powershot...'. It will not assign a drive letter and the right
hand display will display image files BUT not the complete structure on
the card.
Note this only applies to some cameras, others will assign a drive
letter and I assume the display is then same as a card reader, but since
I don't own such a camera, can't state for sure.
Best to use a card reader if you want to be sure to see exactly what is
on the card including the directory structure.

This depends on how the camera is set to appear to the OS. Some cameras
can be configured to us the "PTP" (Picture Transfer Protocol, or as a
mass storage device, disk drive. When configured as a PTP device, the
camera will appear as a camera or scanner device. As a mass storage
device the camera appears a a disk drive with a system assigned drive
letter.

I prefer to use a card reader for transferring images for some of the
following reasons. It does not require the camera to be on and draining
the battery, I or someone else can continue to use the camera while
images are being transferred, I do not need to worry about automatic
delete after transfer being set on the camera, I can use copy and paste
in Windows Explorer to copy the images where I want them, the card
reader can have a faster interface than the camera.a

Computer and OS?
If your camera uses a flash card, you can buy a reader and plug it into
the computer. This is usually a better solution, and faster.

Please note that in order to use the suggestions with the USB, you must
unload Easyshare. Easyshare hijacks the downloads and doesn't allow any
other copying.

Nonsense. You can use a card reader in either case and treat the Kodak
connection software as the annoyance it is.

Yes, that's true. I was only referring if you want to connect directly from
the camera or from a dock.

I have a dock connected, and usually use that if I have only a few
pictures to upload, however, I generally cancel the automatic download
and use the camera as if it were a disk drive.

Hello,

What is the model of your digicam? Are you using a Kodak camera dock
(or printer dock), with it?

Cordially,
