Kodak Camera Connection software problem.

Hopefully someone here may have some ideas. I've tried everything I can
think of without any luck. Here's the problem:

I have a Kodak DX6490 and Camera Dock 6000. Normally I'd press the
transfer button on the dock and a drive icon would appear in Explorer
which I could open and then transfer files from the camera to the
computer.

I bought a Kodak P850 (great camera) and installed the updated version
of the CCS and EasyShare to try out the RAW editor. After installing the
updated software when I pressed the transfer button the drive icon would
show up but I'm not able to open the drive.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, but still wasn't
able to open the drive for the camera so I uninstalled again and tried
to reinstall the older version of the software that came with the
DX6490. Still no luck. Next I uninstalled again then in Explorer I
deleted the Kodak folder and using RegEdit removed all referenced to
Kodak from the registry. Tried reinstalled the CCS from the DX6490 and
still can't open the drive.

Like I said the drive shows in Explorer, but I can't open it. I've tried
two of the tips on the Kodak Support page titled "Cannot Upload Files to
Camera on WINDOWS XP" and "Drive Letter Shows But Cannot Access the
Drive" and still no luck.

Anyone have any other ideas?

I had this problem with Kodak not so easyshare software before.

1. Unplug the dock.
2. Uninstall and then re-install in safe mode.
3. Install the software before plugging the dock in.

The Kodak site has a program that completely uninstalls the software.
Get and run that, and then try again. If that fails, just use a card
reader. I have a Kodak dock hooked up, but only use the dock for
recharging as I don't like the Kodak picture transfer software.

Agreed I have a Kodak camera and never use the transfer software either.
I bought a USB card reader for next to nothing and just extract the card
from the camera and insert in the reader. If your computer has an inbuilt
card reader so much the better.
Quick, easy, safe.

My wife has a computer with internal card reader, but I use the one in
my printer, which can look like a disk drive, or can transfer the files
to the HP software (which sucks), or print a thumbnail sheet, or sheets,
and allow printing based on checkmarks made of the printout, and
scanned. Fantastic!

Do you know the name of the program.

I have a card reader and use it the majority of the time since it is so
much faster. The only time I use the dock to transfer pictures is if I
only have one or two pictures in the camera.

I ran the Kodak Clear program and then reinstalled the Camera Connection
software. Still no luck. Guess I'll just use the dock for charging and
use the card reader to transfer pictures.

Safe Mode will correct your problem.

Not really worried about it. I found my own solution. I uninstalled the
Camera Connection Software, ran the Kodak Clear program again and then
put the camera on the dock and pressed the transfer button and let XP
install its own drivers.

Now when I press the transfer button I get an icon for the P850 and can
open the camera in Explorer. As an added bonus I selected properties and
found I can have the computer automaticly tranfer the pictures to the
directory of my choice and have the pictures deleted off the camera just
by pressing the transfer button.

For a large number of pictures I'll still use the card reader because of
the speed of transfers, but for smaller numbers of pictures I can now
just use the button.
