Vista can't find the driver. The driver's in the software that came with the
camera and I've also downloaded it from Kodak's sight. Vista is not finding
it...this is pretty frustrating as now I have no way to send any pictures to
anyone! Vista recognizes the hardware, just not the driver. Any suggestions?

Wait until the final Vista release, when Kodak may update the driver to
work with that O/S. In the interim, use XP if possible.

I have a similar issue with an SD card writer/reader. The system
recognized that it is there, but the driver is not designed for Vista.

hahaha...I can't wait for Kodak...they suck....I was on the phone with them
for 2 hrs yesterday...I think I rebooted 100 times. I know more than they
do! Don't have XP on my PC anymore...! Why couldn't they just allow XP
drivers in the Vista program...not a rocket scientist programming option?

thanks anyway.....guess i'll have to use my laptop.....grrrrrrr!
 
It doesn't simply recognize the camera as a generic camera? That's what XP
x64 did with my camera. I just plugged it into the USB port and it was able
to download pictures right away.
I realize you're talking about Vista, which is a different kettle of fish.
I'll try my camera with Vista and report the results back.

If SETUP for the driver shows up as a clickable file in Explorer, try a
right-click|PROPERTIES|COMPATIBILITY MODE|RUN AS XP (SP2). Might be
worth a try...
 
Hi DP,

I now have a problem, and perhaps you can help. I have had XP Pro x64
(trial) installed for a number of months and my Kodak DC280 would
automatically get recognized and I could transfer pictures using the windows
facilities just fine.

Several weeks ago, I subscribed to TechNet and obtained a non-trial version
of XP Pro x64. I think "upgraded" my install XP Pro x64 (SP1) system with
the "non-trial" version with SP1 integrated into it.

Now, I can't get my camera to work. The camera is recognized in the device
manager correctly as DC280 xxx when it's plugged it, but no amount of
coercion through the device manager or through the scanner/camera wizard can
find any driver that could be used for the camera. In fact, if I use the
scanner/camera wizard,
the second screen says "unable to find any drivers for this
device(advanced)", even though I haven't even selected any particular device
yet. It appears that all the WIA "drivers" are missing.

Any ideas?

thanks, Tom
