Greetings, Glen! I, too was using the Kodak EasyShare software on my old pc which runs Windows 98. With my laptop, which runs Windows XP, I find I have no need for their time consuming, and space wasting software. I simply plug the USB cable from the camera into the laptop, and the XP software takes care of the rest. ALSO - I took Lake Geezer's advice yesterday and downloaded this nifty little utility he refers to - Zambowie!!!!! This thing is amazing, and free! I am now able to resize phots in the blink of an eye, and it works ten times better than other softwares I have tried to download for the same exact purpose. I highly recommend you dump the EazyShare software - if you're running on XP or similarly capable Windows - and download powertoy utility. Photo work will become a SNAP (no pun intended), and you'll be flying! Good luck!
P.S. We'll be passing through your way on Friday - could you make sure the traffic jams all move along before we get there?
