Kodak DC4800 v. Windows XP #3

Okee...so this morning, I tried connecting anew from my DC4800 to my Win XP computer, using the USB cable. I didn't actually expect it to work, however after working on this issue until 3 in the morning last night, I felt more positive about it. i.e. it was now a matter of trying out only a few things, since something did work last night.
Here is what worked. Mind you, this may not work exactly the same for you...it's a starting point and you might want to check it out.
Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services.
Scroll down to Kodak Camera Connection Software. I will guess this came with that EasyShare thing I downloaded from the Kodak site.
Double click to get to its Properties screen (or right-click and choose Properties). Change the setting from Manual to Automatic.
Now scroll down further to Windows Image Acquisition (WIA). Open its Properties and change its setting from Manual to Automatic.
Save all changes and restart your computer.
Open the EasyShare program. Oh yeah, make sure your DC4800 is plugged into the USB port and the power is on (as usual, you will connect the DC4800 to the AC rather than use its battery).
You should now be able to see your beloved DC4800 as a drive in My Computer.
I do not know if that last step is necessary, opening EasyShare. As I say, this is a starting point.
Good luck!
Update: 1/17/06
Don't get sloppy and try connecting your DC4800 to the computer while the camera is still powered on. It seems to me I did this all the time on my Win 98 machine, but Windows XP freaks if you do it...I got the "new style" Blue Screen of Death...so, turn off the camera before plugging it in.
