My computer friends, don't know where to post this question. Can you help?

I used to have a great Canon digital camera. My dear granddaughter spilled her coke on the thing.
OK. Dead Camera.

Her parents bought me a Kodak EasyShare M1063.
No need to do that but I appreciated the gesture.

For 2 years, I have tried to use this camera. The disk seems to load but I but I cannot seem to make things work.
My daughter, who is computer literate tried to install the camera and told me there is something wrong with the disk.
Today, out of frustration, I tried again. Tried to find installation on the Kodak web before, could not find anything.

No luck. Kodak now wants $23.00 to answer any questions I may have and there is no longer any support for this camera.

Can you find an installation program for this camera without paying for it?

I don't have extra funds but I may have to buy a new(inexpensive) digital camera in order to post pictures of things I must sell on Craigslist or other types of internet sales.

This is most frustrating. I am a computer idiot but at least with the Canon, I could do the job.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Easyshare Z1015IS and I never used the Kodak software. I use Adobe Bridge and click on File and then Get Photos from Camera and it detects the camera when it's plugged into the USB.

What operating system do you use, XP, Windows 7, Windows 8?

but the scanner and camera wizard(XP) worked every time. Now I skip that altogether and take the memory card out and put it in a card reader. The transfers are faster that way. They are in a folder called "DCIM"

doesn't help that kodak wasn't very good at the digital camera market to begin with. they tend to have a weird format that doesn't act like a flash drive the way most cameras do.. at least not on every OS.

adobe bridge was a good suggestion and definitely worth a try.. also try a Mac if you have access. they are loaded with just about every camera driver imaginable. never had iphoto fail me.. not once (my ex-GF had a kodak easyshare post-kodak and i saw some of these problems..)
