Kodak
Hi,
Sounds like Kodak Easyshare doesn't want to go away on startup!
Going to MSCONFIG was the first thing I would have done, too.
Now, since that didn't work, the next thing to do is to edit the Registry. But, BE CAREFUL what you delete from the Registry; your computer might not restart.
Here are steps to search in the Registry for whatever is making it start up again.
Go to Start/Run. Type in "regedit" without quotes, then click on OK.
At the top, Click on "Edit", then "Find".
In the space Find What: type in what you want to find. (in this case, RUN).
Then, put a check mark by "Match whole string only". This will keep the search from stopping at every word it finds, like the word "run", etc.
Then click "Find Next". It will search the registry for the first entry you typed in.
It will "open" a folder on the left hand side of the screen, showing what is in the folder on the right hand side.
You will be looking for something like "Kodak easyshare" or "easyshare start", etc.
If you know that an entry on the right hand side is something you no longer have, or want starting up, then right click on it, then left click "delete", tell it Yes or OK to remove it.
Then, press F3 on the top of the keypad to continue the search.
When finished, at the top, click on File, Exit.
Any StartUp programs, that start when the computer boots up will be listed in folders on the left hand side of the screen with names like:
RUN, RUNSERVICES, RUNONCE, RUN-, etc.
Click on the next folder down with the name RUN in it, to look at its startups on the right hand side.
Sometimes, startup programs in the Registry are NOT listed under MSCONFIG. It depends on how "tricky" the Kodak program wants to be!
Best wishes,
