All the pictures in my kodak easy share program are coming up with a x in the thumbnail. How can i get the pictures back Thanks

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every picture in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

It is not possible to email directly from the camera.

Your pictures may still be there. Maybe the Kodak easy share software just doesn't know how to find them. Try following these instructions to see if your pictures are safe.

1. Double-click on My Computer
2. Double-click on Local Disk (C:)
3. Double-click on Documents and Settings
4. Find your windows account name. This is the same name that should appear when you click on the start menu, and look for a name at the very top. Now double click on your account name.
5. Double-click on My Documents
6. Double-click on My Pictures
7. You should see a folder in here called Kodak Pictures. Open it up, and drill down until you see some pictures. If you still see them, then it's as simple as remapping the Kodak Software to find them. If not, they could have been deleted or moved to another location.

Comment back on your progress, and i'll see if I can help you more.
