z612 not functioning with XP

I own a kodak z612 and It doesn't get recognized by my computer, it makes the missing drivers noise when I plug it in, the only drivers available for it are the easyshare software, which I am trying to avoid using. I have no space left in my case for an external drive, and I shouldn't need one.

the camera works fine on other computers, but not on mine, whaat can I do? I've already been told to install SP3, and that didn't help, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling easyshare... the point is that I don't want easyshare. Windows XP should detect this camera like it does all other devices. Has anyone heard of this happening before?

There have been many cases in the past where User reported their computer won't recognize their camera.

What you can do is to use a card reader to download your pictures to the computer.
Card readers are recognizable by XP without any installation of software or drivers, and XP will copy the pictures to the computer without problems.

Thank you. But there isn't anything I can do to make it recognize it straight off the bat?

Evan, one thing I discovered is that if you install the easy share software and then uninstall it, the drivers actually stay on the computer. But you may also want to upgrade your OS to the latest service pack. That may also help as new drivers will be incorporated into them from time to time.

Well, the only thing you can do in this case is to re-install XP which is relatively more troublesome than using a Card Reader.

Re-installation means you need to save all the files in My Document to another drive, re-install the drivers for wireless adapter, if you have one, drivers for sound chip/sound card, drivers for the motherboard, add Firewall, add Antivirus,add Printer driver, ......... the list can be very long if you have lots of software loaded and got wiped off in the process.

If you want to go through with it, this is the way
