If I am to understand you correctly you are telling me you are using Kodak software that was installed in a used computer that you bought. If this is the case then you need to uninstall this program and install the Kodak software that came with YOUR CAMERA. The program you are trying to use may not be compatible with your camera !
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

Check the menu, many cameras allow you to enable photo protection, you may have some photos protected. You won't be able until that protection is removed.
I don't even bother with the camera and software. I use a card reader to download to a folder I create on my desktop. Once the pics are there I can view them from there or use a photo editing program such as Photoshop Elements to work with them. Much more reliable than the camera and cord method.
You may have accidently removed the photo programs you were using. Check to see if the software programs are indeed still on your computer by searching by name. If it or they are there , open one of the programs before you connect the camera and it should automatically download.
If they have been removed use the disc that came with your camera to reload the software program.
i'm not sure how to change the default picture program... but i can tell you that you won't lose pictures if the easyshare program is deleted. it's just an extra program to view/edit pics.... the actual pics are located in a generic folder somewhere on your computer. click properties on one of the pics in easyshare, and see where it's located. then just go to that folder through windows....
hope i helped a little, sorry i don't have the solution for the other part
You do not need cameras software to download pics from your camera, btw. Just plug in your camera to USB port and it shows as an external DRIVE or USB STORAGE device in your MYCOMPUTER folder. Just click on its drive letter and you are looking at your cameras memory.
Click on the folder called DCIM and then subfolder(s) named depending on camera model. For Panasonic it is 100_PANA for example. Click on this and here is your pics. View, Drag and Drop, Delete, etc any pic just as if it was already on your computer.
To down load all pics, Drag and Drop (or cut and paste)the whole pic folder (100_PANA for example) to a location on your computer, as \Documents\Pictures. To delete all pics on camera, right click on pics folder and delete 100_PANA folder. or folder where your pics show up on your camera.
Can you get a memory card reader that works for a Mac?
If so then loading pic's to the 'puter through that route
Flashing red and green lights have a meaning- what does the manual say?[Check the more comprehensive manual on the Software disk]
You could buy[or borrow] another card- nothing wrong with having more that one.
Also try the card in another camera and a fresh card in yours[Take it a photo shop to try this]
