Windows ME was a very unstable OS and that is why it never lasted long. From what you are saying, I would think your best bet would be to take the disks and format the hard drive and reload everything. That will get rid of any of the contanimated files that are floating around in there. I had all kinds of problems with ME until I got rid of it. You should have a Red, Blue, and Yellow CD that will let you completely reload everything or you can run some tests from them.

Windows ME has a restore feature available. Restart the system and go into safe mode. Then go to start> programs> accessories> system tools> system restore and restore it to a point before you tried to install the Kodak software. This should get you going. Good Luck
