Kodak EasyShare Registration Error

Today I came across an older Windows XP SP3 laptop running Kodak EasyShare. Each time the computer started, it would generate the following error:

C:\PROGRA~2\Kodak\EasyShareSetup\$REGIS~1\Registration_7.4.30.2.sxt

Note: The actual version (7.4.30.2) in the file name could be different in each case.

It took me forever to locate the source of the problem. I searched multiple times/ways through the registry and even uninstalled the software, but the error remained.

Thanks to this link, the problem was identified as being located in the Task Scheduler.

Here’s how to fix it:

Start
Control Panel
Scheduled Tasks

This is usually blank, only having “Add Schedule Task”.

If you see anything associated with Kodak EasyShare, delete it.

Reboot.
