Anyone have problems w/Kodak software?

Our computer just crashed for the 2nd time in 3 months.  We bought it in May.    The guy on the phone is telling me it's because I tried to download a Kodak program from the internet and it crashes Windows XP.  Has anyone else had this problem because it sounds to me like a load of bull.  Millions of people run XP and he's telling me that none of us can use Kodak programs?  All I want to do is upload my photos to a gallery that I can share with friends.  I have 300 photos to upload and the bulk upload feature is what I was trying to get.  Anyone else have an alternative to Kodak?  I can't get the Photobucket quick load feature to work or I would use that.  I want to be able to email friends and have them view my gallery. 
I'm so ticked off!

I never had problems with running Kodak on XP except...every time I opened up the program, it created a copy of every photo  I didn't notice until I decided to have a clean-up of my hard drive and found I had 15+ copies of every one. Sorry I can't suggest an alternative.

I am now going to disagree with my big brother and say Kodak is absolute rubbish.  When Boggy loaded it on dad's computer he had nothing but trouble - duplicated photos, files that wouldn't open and his computer kept crashing.  The best thing I ever did was remove the program.  My advice Kelly would be to dump the Kodak completely and get another cheap program like Photo-shop or something like that.

  Yeah, I have photoshop, I just wanted somewhere else to store photos other than photopucket.  With Kodak you can send slideshows in an email.  I really think the computer guy is full of you-know-what.  I got in a pretty heated argument with him over the phone when he started talking to me like I was 2 years old.    But I think I solved the problem!  My Mom, who also uses Windows XP,    has the software on her computer.  All I need to do is take my photocard over there and download everything from her computer.
