USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED KODAK EASYSHARE C913 When I plug my kodak easyshare camera into my xp computer via a usb cord, i get the following error: One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it....

Search Google for a driver for the specific camera. Or download a copy of Kodak Easyshare. If you already have Easyshare software installed, try re-installing or updating.

You can download Kodak software from

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 ( http://picasa.google.com ).

well my advice is to go to best bye and ask them

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

Try using a separate card reader to download your pictures to a folder you create on your desktop.

Try opening the Kodak software first, then turn the camera on. I've found that you need the Kodak program to transfer the pictures from the camera. I personally do not like this, my old camera (also Kodak) would act like a plane old flash card/removeable device, this new one doesn't.
Anyhow, I find it super easy to just take the SD card out and pop it into the media slot in my printer. Then just open explorer and it's there just like any other hard drive or CD/DVD drive and transfer them to where ever you like.
If your printer or computer doesn't have a slot for SD cards you can get one that plugs into a USB port, pretty cheaply at any store that sells computer products.

You can use this method as a back up.

What operating system are you using?

If you have xp or vista, you can uninstall the software and transfer the pictures since these operating system has built in drivers.

i also have this problem when i plug my usb in my laptop..it wont find it so i open kodak easyshare as that is starting to run enter your usb in it should find it straight away and start downloading files

I have the same problem, that it's not recognized. I am looking into seeing if it's the new service pack from windows. Or the crappy usb cord, mine is too tight.
