You don't state your operating system, but in any event you do not need a driver for the camera, you can use the Kodak easyshare software available here,
http://download.kodak.com/digital/software/easyShare/v8_2_0/install_easyshare.exe
to browse or copy the photos as required.
Your computer should just recognise the camera automatically.
Why do you think you need a driver?
Try to install the software on your computer first. Here are the steps:
Close all software applications that are open on your computer (including anti-virus software).
Place the Kodak EasyShare software CD into the CD-ROM drive.
Install the software: Windows OS-based computer-if the install window does not appear, choose Run from the Start menu and type d:\setup.exe where d is the drive letter that contains the CD. Mac OS X-double-click the CD icon on the desktop, then click the Install icon.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. Windows OS-based computer-select Complete to automatically install the most commonly used applications. Select Custom to choose the applications you wish to install. Mac OS X-follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE:
When prompted, take a few minutes to electronically register your camera and software. This lets you receive information regarding software updates and registers some of the products included with the camera. You must be connected to your Internet service provider to register electronically. To register later, see www.kodak.com/go/register.
Restart the computer. If you turned off anti-virus software, turn it back on. See the anti-virus software manual for details.

Could be something stopping the lens to go out all the way. It will automatically retract and turn off if anything prevents it from extending. It could be the motor or whatever but I would definitely contact kodak. Also could be something like a short or software malfunction but it sounds like a problem with the lens not being able to extend fully out.
The Kodak camera dock provides automatic battery charging and automatic connection to your computer when the camera is "docked." There is also a version of the dock that includes a printer, but I have found the printer to be poor quality and very unreliable. The dock must be connected to the computer via USB, and the Kodak EasyShare software must still be installed. The dock is a very handy accessory, but it will not solve your problem. What might help though is a visit to Kodak.com where you can get a free download of the latest EasyShare software that is correct for your operating system.
I spoke to someone on the IM chat at the kodak website,
and took me through the steps that seems to get around that problem,
if its a kodak c913.
they are;
open the easyshare software.
connect your camera.
if a transfer window opens automatically, close it.
in the easyshare software window open the 'add picture button'.
then select the folder with the name of your camera 'kodak c913'.
all your pictures should load as if it would through the automatic transfer window,
select whatever pictures you want to add,
clock add pictures,
then done,
and it doesnt come up with the error message of the software believing there is duplicates.
It maybe that the associated programme you use is not kicking in when the camera is connected ready for downloading.
Disconnect your camera dock and re-install the software or driver CD you got with the camera and see if it automatically starts next time you connect.
If you can't put your hands on the cd go to this site for software.
