uh ok. I dont really get half of what you just said here but do you mean you couldn't transfer photos on your camera to your computer?

if that's the case I think it may be a software glitch. Have you installed any Kodak photo software onto your computer? if that's the case you could try to uninstall it and just let Windows take care of everything and transfer the pics the simple way. At least that's how I do it. lol

no when i hook camera up nothing happens it wont let me get the pics no program opens up nothing

so have you installed any software that came with your camera? if yes just uninstall it or if not maybe you should install the software
and is your USB port working? have you tried to hook other devices to it and see if it works

no disk of any sort came w/ my camera

uh ok. which windows version are you using? I know Windows 98 and maybe even Millennium require separate drivers for USB ports to work

this is how I used to transfer photos from a camera onto my computer

Once you've connected your camera to your computer or inserted your memory card into your memory card reader, Windows XP will detect the connection and ask you what you want to do with your pictures. If you connected your camera with a USB cable, click Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard, and then click OK.

this dont happen for me

Do you have a "5in-1" usb card reader or something you could use?
That might work and be much faster and easier for you.

no i dont and dont have money to buy one atm

Hhmm, I'm not quite sure then sorry.

Most digital cameras that use USB come with some software to transfer images onto the computer.
When you insert the USB a pop-up should appear asking how you would like to import them as well.

Or you can use a card reader to open them too.

Other than that I'm not aware of any other way. Sorry
