mcdhu,
Is your Kodak software running in the background? The reason I ask, is that I had a look at what software was running on my PC and I closed some of it down. When I restarted the computer it would not recognise my digi cam when I plugged it in (as soon as you connect the camera it would always go straight to the 'transfer images' facility). After further checking I found that I had disabled the 'Fuji' software in error, and no matter how much I clicked on the software icon on the desktop it would not find my camera.
Just a thought................?
