How can I register my new C195 Kodak Easy Share Camera so it is covered by the warranty. I purchased it yesterday, 8-30-2011.

The internal memory is very small and will only take a few pictures. Just enough to test the camera. Your camera also accepts SD and SDHC cards, which are not expensive. You can put lots of pictures on the SD or SDHC cards.
You also could connect the camera to a PC or MAC and send the pictures over after you installed Kodak Picture easy share.
After you backed up the pictures that way, you can delete the pictures in the camera. Always make sure you have at least 2 backups from your pictures.

Marie, For every camera that someone wants to connect to a computer, there has to be installed a program on the computer. The program came with the camera on the CD. Perhaps you thought only the manual was on the CD, but no.
If you already dumped the CD, just goto the Kodak website, register your camera and ask for the easy share software. you can download it for free. Because it will only work with a Kodak camera.

Always first install the software, then connect the camera.
Once the software is on the computer, the program is self explaining. It even starts up (should start up) as soon as the camera is connected via the USB cable.

You may download the user guide (all two pages of it) here and view/download the extended user guide here.

FORMAT the internal memory using Menu options...

I recommend buy the parts Front cover included button . look in www.ebay.com and http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-KODAK-C195-FRONT-BACK-CASE-COVER-REPAIR-PARTS-/170680493115?pt=Digital_Camera_Accessories&hash=item27bd59a43b

It may be fixable but depending on the damage it may be more cost effective to replace rather than repair. If the camera is new it may still be covered under the manufacture warranty. I would take it back to where you purchased it to see if it is covered and if they can do service work. If the store can't fix it look up a local camera store and see if they do service work.

I've got 16 of these cameras and had to replace the door on 3 of them. (I'm a teacher)

it is quite simple, but there are little tiny screws and some dexterity required!
to replace the battery door, you need a super small screwdriver (I've used both an eyeglass size and the screwdriver that came with my son's tech deck!) . you'll have to unscrew all of the small screws that hold on the back of the camera. remember which screws go to which hole - because some are longer than others. once the screws are out, you'll have to gently pry off the cover. carefully - you dont want to crack the camera case. you'll also want to be careful not to touch the sensor, which will be exposed with the case off.

NEXT you;ll have to pry the little spring out of the battery door to actually remove the old door. you'll probably have to use a screw driver to pull the spring on the new door back enough to fit back into the holes. that's really all there is to it. replace the cover and the screws.
