Reinstall Kodak Easyshare and Retain settings?
I've been having problems with EasyShare lately - it won't open,
giving me a C++ runtime error and saying there's a problem with MFC42.dll. I plan to just unistall it, run the Clean utility from the Kodak website to remove all traces from the registry, and then download and install the most recent version. Hopefully this will solve the runtime error problems. I know this shouldn't delete the pictures I already have on the computer, but will I lose all of my settings and entries such as captions, albums, keywords, etc.? Is there a way to retain them, and import into the freshly installed version? Thanks. -Dave B. |

Thanks. -Dave B. the uninstall of Kodak EasyShare does not delete the catalog file (in the \catalog directory under the EasyShare program directory) There are two files that are retained, one has all of the metadata, the other has all of the thumbnails. When you re-install, this catalog will be used by the new installation of EasyShare. enjoy PS. MFC42.dll is a Microsoft DLL That comes with the OS. We don't include that as part of EasyShare. Re-installing may not make this problem go away. |

Well, you didn't say what Windows version you're using, but I found this on the MS support site.... http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=188392 -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten' |
