Error msg while trying to install Kodak 5300

You could delete it and find out. We have absolutely no idea what it is.

ok you can try this method : 1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in and recognized as 'something' e.g. digital camera (it shouldn't really matter what it's recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).
2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder: o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click 'explore') o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select 'Search'). o type in usbaapl and hit Search - try to ignore the dog! You should find the driver info in a sub folder of C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder name into note pad - you'll need it later) If you don't find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not been installed with the iTunes install and you'll have to reinstall iTunes.

3. Locate the ipod-camera device: o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager o Look for a device called 'ipod' - if your ipod shows up as 'digital camera' it will be under something like 'imaging devices'.
4. Update the driver: o Right click the 'ipod-camera' in device manager and click on 'Update Driver' - the Hardware Update Wizard will open. o Check the 'Install from a list or specific location' then click 'Next' o Check 'Search for the best driver in these locations'. Un-check 'Search removable media' and check 'Include this location in the search'. In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B), then click Next. You should now see something like 'Apple ipod device driver' or so. Continue installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.

P.S.:if you didn't find the updated drive in STEP1 you can try to find the updated drive file in C:\windows\system32\drivestore\FileRepository\usbappl.inf

Reinstall your windows or 'Recover' or 'Restore' to an earlier date, perhaps to the original 'new' date.

Let the operating system find the drivers for your printer again, or install the right drivers for your operating system and printer combination, off of the website for Kodak.

Good luck.

Check to see if the required files are present:

• Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\kodak. Check for 2 folders "kds_aio5000(for AiO 5000 series printers) and kds_aioesp(for ESP series)
• Depending on printer model, open kds_aio5000 or kds_aioesp.
• For kds_espaio it should only have the lib folder. It doesn't have the ekaiowia.dll
• Inside the lib folder it should have cct.ekpgct, hippo.dll. Both for kds_aio5000 and kds_aioesp.
• If hippo.dll is missing then try the following:

Option 1: 1. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kodak\EasyShareSetup\printer\scanner 2. Right click on aioscnnr.msi and choose uninstall once this is finished reinstall it by double clicking on the same msi file. 3. Check to see if the scanner files are now present (see above) if not then go to Option 2 Option 2: 1. Insert the Home AiO CD. Go to CD rom drive\printer\scanner 2. Right click on aioscnnr.msi and choose uninstall once this is finished reinstall it by double clicking on the same msi file. 3.

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kodak\EasyShareSetup\printer\scanner or on CDROM drive ..\printer\scanner 2. Open the aioscnnr.cab file then look for the missing file(files needed: cct.ekpgct, hippo.dll, and ekaiowia.dll) Extract the files anywhere on to the computer (Desktop is preferable). 3. Copy the cct.ekpgct, and hippo.dll to C:\WINDOWS\system32\kodak\kds_aio5000\lib 4. Copy the ekaiowia.dll to C:\WINDOWS\system32\kodak\kds_aio5000

are getting any error msg like 1-2036 or anyother and are you using Vista or Xp,,,,try using the windows fax and scan settings....let me know and i will try and help you

go to your control panel and uninstall any printers including kodak then restart you computer, then try installing your kodak, Rob

go to c:\windows\system32\kodak and check for kds_aio5000 and inside that you should have 1 folder and 1 file. the folder name is lib and the file name is ekaiowia.dll. inside lib folder there are cct.ekpgct and hippo.dll. If not then uninstall the home center and then go to www.kodak.com/go/clear and run it then install the home center from www.kodak.com/go/downloads and choose the appropiate product.

Download and install the new software and printer firmware from kodak.com (link below - firmware and software is the same for all the 5000 units). Do not use the CD, and Uninstall all previous versions before installing the new software you download from the site.
