Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Music, Photo, Video / July 2007Installing EasyShare Software
I have downloaded EasyShare Software from the Kodak site, but unfortunately I cannot open it. When downloading it never reaches the end of the download and tells me "it can't shut the computer down and to right click on the Kodak icon in the System Tray and shut the computer down and restart. If I right click on the Kodak icon it doesn't give me the option. As I cannot open the programme I have also tried uninstalling it and I come up against the same problem as above telling me to right click on the Kodak icon etc. - can anyone help am I doing something wrong.  SignatureMo Are you sure it is not telling you to shut down the EasyShare software, NOT the computer? Download the software to a folder on your desktop again just to be sure you have a good download. Right click on the file, Properties, click Unblock, Apply button, and OK button. Right click on the EasyShare icon in the Notification Area of the Taskbar and choose Shutdown Kodak EasyShare software. In Control Panel > Programs and Features, right click on the Kodak EasyShare entry and choose Uninstall. Reboot, and run the new EasyShare downloaded file.

I have been trying to install and uninstall as you explained. When I right click on the file, Properies, I can't find "Unblock" can you advise where this is please. When going through the steps to uninstall Kodak Software I get as far as Remove where it says "Uninstalling your Kodak Easyshare software. Please wait.... I then get message come up from Kodak EasyShare software saying "Setup was unable to shut down Kodak EasyShare. Please exit the application by right clicking on the Kodak logo in the system tray and select the "Shut Down"....option in the manu and restart setup (12x83x0x)". I have tried right clicking on the Kodak logo in the Task Bar which I believe is also the System Tray correct me if I am wrong, but it does not give me the option to "Shut Down" am I in the wrong place. In fact if I right click it doesn't do anything at all. Sorry but I haven't got much further with my problem - any advice please. Just to let you know I do have a new Dell computer which is running Vista Home Basic. SignatureMo > Are you sure it is not telling you to shut down the EasyShare software, NOT the > computer?

I can't explain why you do not have the Unblock option when you right click, select Properties -- on the General tab on the downloaded file. It should be offered on the right click, select PROPERTIES, General tab at the bottom of the dialog. Vista adds this to downloaded files automatically. Type msconfig in the Search box above the Start Orb on the Taskbar. Approve UAC. On the Startup tab, sort by Manufacturer (click Manufacturer heading), un-check EasyShare, Eastman Kodak, click OK. *********OR, AN EVEN EASIER WAY than msconfig, is: Start Orb > All Programs > expand the Startup folder, right click on the Kodak EasyShare software entry, and select Delete (or Cut and then Paste onto the Desktop if you like).******** R E B O O T Now, check that the EasyShare icon is not in the Notification Area (forget System Tray nomenclature) be sure to press the left pointing arrow to show all the icons. And in Control Panel > Programs and Features, try uninstalling the EasyShare program again. In Windows Explorer, delete the contents of the Program Files > Kodak folder AFTER uninstalling. Now try to install the new EasyShare software. R E B O O T The EasyShare icon should be back in the Notification Area. Right click, select open, and in Menu Bar (ALT if not visible) > Help > click About Kodak Easy Share software, check for ver. 6.3.1 SignatureI Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! > Many thanks for replying so quickly very much appreciated. > [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] >> > >> > - can anyone help am I doing something wrong. Thanks for all your help. I have now managed to uninstall Kodak EasyShare Software. I have tried reinstalling but it gave me an error message - not having much luck with this - will try again tomorrow. Many thanks for now.

You could try right clicking the EasyShare downloaded file and selecting "Run as Administrator". Another thing to try is to right click on the file, Properties tab, and selecting "XP SP2" from Compatibility drop down list. SignatureI Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! > Thanks for all your help.

If it is Blocked, Windows will allow you to override when you try to run it.
