For those who mess with digital cameras and photo editing, if you have a Kodak camera:
1. You might have other photo editing software installed. If you computer has a card reader and does not need the easyshare software to download the pictures, DO NOT INSTALL IT. It will bug you constantly to make Easyshare your default program for handling pictures.
2. If you have made the collosal error of downloading the software, Kodak may send you a pop-up that says something to this effect:
"In order for this version of easyshare to work properly, you need to update."
You might think, Ok, better to let it do this than to have it pop in every five minutes warning me to update, right? So you click ok.
MISTAKE! WHile it was updating, it also appointed itself my default photo program, WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE, which means when ever I go to my pictures and open a pic, it comes up in the utterly useless easyshare format. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get my older program, on which I did my editing, back.
I might be able to excorcise this demon, but my point is, It should have warned me before it changed something that important.
if you do not use easyshare to handle pictures, but use it to download onto an older PC, DELETE any update requests, or ANY requests from Kodak.
