you are right!
When using Win98a, I didnt have a problem installing and using
EasyShare.
When I tried to install Easyshare on a Win2k machine, it either froze,
gave me
error codes, and when it did work, the pics refused to upload.
After numerous re-installs, it finally worked.

plug-n-play bah-humbug!

Hello, Ray:

Well, I run Windows XP Home, and EasyShare is the only program I have
that can open and edit Kodak's proprietary KDC (i.e., RAW) files. In
fact, it's one of the reasons I upgraded from Millennium, as WinME's
EasyShare version couldn't do so.


Cordially,
