Vista - kodak and uploading photos

hi

hopefully this wont be a bad post as i am a little useless when things do not work the way i hoped they should!

I used to beable to load photos onto kodak gallery before i got a new laptop with Vista home and student package 2007. Now when ever i try to load photos it will only do 2 or 3 and then an error message comes up to say the internet has failed connection and to please check the connection and try again.

When this comes up- usually my wireless has been stopped and i have to wait a while but i have just had a go again and could get straight back onto the internet. I also have probelms with facebook but can load one at a time.

I have mcafee security that has been put on computer but i think i have disabled that. I have also added kodack to safe addresses. There was a very old link on here with a lady experiencing the same trouble but with no answer.

I hope someone can help... i spilt water on my laptop last month and when it was fixed they wiped all my photos. I have lost the first 8 months of my little boys life in photos except those taken at hospital so want to get them into a safe place.

Thanks

Tried an updated WiFi driver? Also, a failing router can cause such problems.
