I went to install my digital camera software, and it says it's not compatible with Vista. It's a Kodak camera, and the software in question is Kodak EasyShare version 2.0. What I'm wondering and hoping someone out there in Ventilationland can tell me is whether there's any way to get this software working, or, if not, if it's possible to use the camera without it, using some other program or something. I've always used it with the default software, and it's the only digital camera I've had, so if this is a stupid question, forgive me. I just would like to know if and how I can use my camera on my Vista computer. If anyone has any thoughts on the matter, please let me know. Thank you.

have you tried iPhoto?

or you could just upgrade

Yes - the software on your CD is probably 4.5 years old at least if memory serves. Try Archimago's suggestion of upgrading.

Wow...I didn't realize you could just download the entire program. Hopefully it works with my archaic camera, but my battery probably needs charged, so I'll try it later this afternoon. Thanks, Archi, fuzmeister.

BTW: the copyright on the CD says 2002, I think, so it's roughly 4.5 - 5 years old, yes. Good recall.

I remember you got it around Christmas 2002 because we used it to take photos on New Year's Eve.

You're camera is not that bad all things considered - the one that my aunt and uncle had that used a floppy for storage is archaic.

Just get a memory card reader for your camera. Then it will show up as a disk drive in Vista. Also, grab Picasa from Google. Its pretty nifty and makes it easy to upload photos to the website.

Also, Vista has some sort of digital camera import if your camera shows up as a drive in Windows.

It's working now, guys. Thanks!

Brandon - I'm really not thrilled with Picasa as of yet, but maybe someone will convince me somewhere down the road. We'll see ;)
