I recently upgraded to Windows 2000 and have updated all drivers and reinstalled all peripherals apart from my Kodak digital camera and docking station Easyshare CX4300. I get setup.exe generated error when inserting the easyshare software installation disk and it won't install. I uninstalled all my printer, camera etc before i upgraded in the correct manner.

In My computer I have the usual A:, control panel etc but also a virtual drive called My digital camera which is classed as a system folder. when i click on it i get the contents of My computer plus it turns off the Start task bar!!

Also before upgrading when I inserted a disc into my CDrom then it would attempt to open as a jpeg which leads me to assume the digital camera was acting as a virtual cd drive??

It may appear really obvious to someone else what the problem is here but i am at a loss as to how i can reinstall my camera and eliminate the other small problems. Any advice would be appreciated.

I looked at the Kodak web site support section for drivers and firmware updates. For the Easyshare 4000 series , firmware updates are 9-2003 file # pdupdater_en.exe . drivers are 11-2003 file # DP6000_4000_driver.exe Drivers and firmware are for Windows 9X/ME/2000/XP.

Try using the download drivers first before you do a firmware upgrade. If the 11-2003 drivers solve your problem then a firmware update isn't necessary. The issue sounds more like a problem reading the CD rather than a problem with Windows.

Koday link is http://www.kodak.com navigate to the support section of their web site for drivers.

Full link [which may or may not work] is http://www.kodak.com/global/en/service/downloads/dln_ekn.jhtml?ekn=EKN027315

Thank you - i have managed to install the camera and it is working fine. I still have the digital camera folder in My Computer but probably best to leave it until i get any problems.
