Make sure that you install the software from the KODAK Picture Software CD before you transfer pictures from your camera to the computer.

MACINTOSH OS X users, see the note on page 40 before installing the software.

Install the Software

CAUTION:

Do NOT have your camera or KODAK EASYSHARE Camera Dock connected to the computer when you install the software. Doing so causes the software to load incorrectly.

1Before you begin, close all software applications running on your computer.

2Place the KODAK Picture Software CD into the CD-ROM drive.

3Install the software:

On a WINDOWS-based computer—usually, the first install window automatically appears. If it does not, choose Run from the Start menu and type the drive letter that contains the CD followed by \setup.exe. For example: d:\setup.exe.

On a MACINTOSH computer—click Continue on the install window that automatically appears.

4Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. If prompted, restart the computer when the installation is complete.

To install all applications on the CD, select Typical when prompted.

To choose the applications you wish to install, select Custom when prompted. See page 41 for a description of the applications that are included on the CD.
