Did you try to set the camera in viewing mode, by pressing the review button? and if you still can't see look into the view rider or press EVF/LCD button? Sometimes the power save option kicks in, when the battery is low. Preventing the display to show anything. Charge the battery.

Transfer them to where? If you're trying to download pictures from your camera to your computer, the best way 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 ( http://picasa.google.com ).

If you want to see what is on the card, while you connected the camera to a PC, with an USB cable, you first should install the software that came with the camera (on CD). On the CD with the Kodak Picture Easy Software, there are also the drivers, if your computer not already did install them. In the manual this are the first lines. on top of page 1. link to manual If you don't have the software, and forgot to register your camera I think you can't download the software anymore. But you could use an external card reader on your PC, to transfer the pictures.

You may download the HP driver from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0002&lc=en&product=1146331&

sure you did charge the battery correct? Sure the battery is inserted correct? Plus to plus and minus to minus? No debris in the battery holder? contacts from both the camera and the battery clean and shiny? Just a small piece of paper can ruin the free flow of any current. If you have to clean contacts in a camera or on batteries, neve use sharp tools, only a dry cloth.

I might have suggested the face detection calibration might be out, but 7 years ago I don't think such technology was available...let alone on a Kodak Easyshare. In order to ascertain why this 'phenomena' is occuring, you can try 1. disabling red-eye reduction, 2. adjusting distance between you and subject, 3. check lens hasn't got a small scratch or dirt on it. Especially if the black lips occur on images about the same proximity of the frame. Other than those tips, it's quite hard to know what's going on. If you had a link to a photo perhaps it might help diagnose your problem. I won't say "your camera's just old..." because I still own 10 year old systems which are working fine.

If you're willing to accept one in a different color, you may order a C143 battery cover from http://uscamera.com/8h2927.htm

SD cards max out at 2GB and that's as large as you can go with the C533. The C533 will not work with higher-capacity SDHC cards.
