You are supposed to plug the USB in FIRST then turn on the camera, the lens IS NOT supposed to pop out while hooked up this way. Then you need to open the Kodak software. Kinda sucks and a PITA to use. My older Kodak (about 4 years) when plugged to the cable would be recognized as a removable hard drive just as a flash drive and it was obviously super simple to move the pictures to folders in your computer. Now so easy with this new camera, you have to open the Easy Share software, then it transfers them into a folder it makes up labels with the current date, within a folder on your hard drive. then you can move them in the main folder you wanted them in, then delete the one it made up. It won't, (or I haven't found how) transfer pics straight to an existing folder.
Screw that, my printer has multi-media card slots, I just pop the SD card from the printer and pop it in the media slot just like a flash drive.
I deleted all Kodak software from my computer, waste of time.

I've tried this process half a dozen times:
I connected the USB cable to the camera and the USB port on my computer. I turned on the camera (although the lens didn't swivel open like it usually does). (Sometimes I do it in reverse order: turn on the camera - and it swivels open - then plug in the USB. The same series of events follows, either way) Windows XP pops up with a message: "USB Device Not Recognized: One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message." I do so, and a box pops up. Under 'USB Root Hub', there are 8 ports. One is used by our scanner, and one, in bold, says "Unknown Device." I doubleclick it. Under 'Device Status,' it says: "No drivers are installed for this device." I then run through the whole maintain/repair/reinstall the EasyShare software, which I have on CD. It doesn't fix anything.
I've checked the Kodak website, and while they have the manual (which I've perused in depth to no avail) and the software available for download, they have no drivers for a Kodak EasyShare C913.
I've used the Memory Card (it says "Kodak Memory Card - 4GB - SD - HC - 2" on the front) in a USB memory card reader we have at school, and I'm able to upload all the pictures.
