| | Windows Photo Gallery is now just a blank screen I installed Kodak EasyShare's printer and photo software. Since then, when I plug my Canon 900IS camera in, AutoPlay no longer brings up the Import Pictures window, and I can no longer access Photo Gallery, which now is just a blank window that I can't close (I have to reboot to get rid of it). I uninstalled the Kodak software but that didn't help. Ideas? I'd like to have the Import Pictures feature back, as well as Photo Gallery. thx, Jeff |
