I did Disk Defragmenter and Disk Cleanup. But what is this other thing?

Thanks for the reply. I may have to do that but will wait to make sure. :)

You're welcome. I'm glad it helped. If removing the software makes you no longer able to connect with your digital camera, there are still cheap drives that can read the memory card, which is really all you need. For anywhere from ten to thirty bucks, there are multi-card readers, even the cheapest of which could probably read it. I don't know what kind of card your camera uses, but my grandma's Kodak uses SanDisk, I believe. These memory readers plug right into any available USB port. Assuming you have Windows 2000, Millennium, or later, that's all you have to do. No opening up the computer to install an internal device, no software drivers to install, nada. Plugging your memory card into a multi-reader, it becomes another drive, just like when you use a flashdrive or anything else. From there, you can open up the folder, and copy the pictures to anywhere you want. You can e-mail them to your loved ones, upload them to the web, whatever. And finally, if you ever seriously get into editing your pictures, the open source GIMP software is available for free. There's even a portable version at portableapps.com, so you don't actually have to "install" it. I use GIMP Portable from my flashdrive, along with some 70 other portable programs. :P Lots of luvs!

By the way, I noticed you mentioned that you have a Dell running Windows XP. You say it helped to remove the Kodak software, but if you feel your machine is still not up to snuff, you might want to check for spyware. These days, the Internet is infested and absolutely rampant with keyloggers, Trojan horses, and adware, ready to install themselves on your machine unbeknownst to you as soon as you visit an infected site (even a legitimate site that's infected). If this friend of yours is at least partially responsible for software decision making on your machine, you might want to check with them before making changes. I can make recommendations if you want my help. But in the meantime, here are some online scanners you could use anytime you want to scan for and clean existing infections: http://test.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/free_security_tools/housecall_free_scan.php http://www.ewido.net/en/ http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml Lots of luvs!

Thanks for your reply. I got rid of the Kodak stuff. It helped. :)

Yea mine is a Dell too. But I have Windows XP. It makes me feel very dumb sometimes. LOL :)

Thanks for the help. I got rid of it with the control panel & got rid of it. :)

I got rid of all the Kodak stuff. That has stopped the error box. I'll check in to cclean. Thanks. :)

I use CCleaner myself, but I'd never trust a multi-purpose product to clean the system registry. Most such products will cripple something if you ever uninstall them, or worse. And even amongst the dedicated registry cleaners, I've seen almost all of them cause a bluescreen at least once. The only ones that haven't are ToniArts EasyCleaner, and Norton WinDoctor, which is a full diagnostics tool. EasyCleaner is free. :)

I'll have to ask my friend what I have. Thanks for the reply. :)

Thanks for your reply. I'll tell my friend about this. :)
