Kodak EasyShare One-touch no longer works.

[Matt Whiting]

I recently upgraded from Windows Me to XP Pro and now have a small
problem with my Kodak Easyshare software. I can upload pictures from my
camera if I initiate the transfer from within Easyshare. However, I can
no longer use the "one touch" button on the camera dock to initiate a
transfer to Easyshare. Instead, it launches a window that asks me which
application I wish to use to upload the pictures and Easyshare isn't one
of the options. The options presented are: Imaging, Microsoft Scanner
and Camera Wizard and Word.

Is there a way to get back to where Easyshare is the application that is
initiated by the one touch button? Failing that, is there a way to at
least add Easyshare to the list of choices?

TIA,
Matt

Might try reinstalling EasyShare.

Might try reinstalling EasyShare.

I did a repair and that added Easyshare to the list of programs that
could be initiated by the camera connect event. Looks like I'm back in
business.

Thanks,
Matt

Reinstall, etc. and remember these words the next time you are
shopping: "Goodbye, Kodak. Hello, Fuji!"

Yes, a reinstall registered the Easyshare software such that XP included
it in the list of programs that could respond to camera events.

The words best remembered would be, "Goodbye, Microsoft; hello Linux."

I don't see this as a Kodak problem as the software worked fine prior to
the upgrade to XP. And given that the upgrade broke a lot of other
application software, I tend to blame this on Microsoft. Also, this is
at least the 3rd time I've upgraded Microsoft operating systems (3.1 ->
95 -> 98, ME -> XP), and every time something has gotten miserably hosed
and most times several things get hosed. Oh well, such is life with
Microsoft and PCs.

The problem is as you say upgrading from one operating system to
another, doing a clean instal eliminates these problems.
