Do you have the USB cable plugged in ? I have an easyshare camera, but not the docking station... easy enough to use the USB cable....
when thats plugged in, and the camera is turned on (on mine anyway) if you go into my computer where the drives are listed, it should come up in there as a removable drive...
if you open dig up the pictures as usualy they are another folder or two in... copy those, and paste to wherever you want on your hard drive... there you are.. they will be on your PC as well then :)

that should have worked.... you have installed all the drivers etc ?
when your camera is connected it is treated as a removable drive, so you can look at its contents.. if you go into it, and copy the contents, and paste it, say into a folder on your desktop or my documents, you will then be able to view them there as well... which you wont have to have your camera connected to view.
As for when the camera is connected and where the pictures are stored may also depend on whether the camera is using its internal memory, or your memory card...
i think the trouble may be, i havnt got a clue what you are on about
lets just pretend i have the mental age of 6 no make that 4 ...........it cant be this hard ......can it???

plug your camera in to your usb and turn it on.
wait for your pc to say camera found and and ready to use.

then go to my computer and look at the drives avalible.
A is floppy drive
C is hard disk
D is your first cd or dvd rom
if your operating system has found your camera as a drive you will have another labeled removable drive E or maybe F.

Your camera and your PC are not talking to each other.
In the box with the camera should be a cable, plug one end of this into your PC via the USB port, then plug the other end into the camera, wait a few seconds and then turn the camera on.
The camera should then show up in my computer, right click the camera and choose "Get pictures" or something similar and then it should let you copy them to the PC.
If its a Kodak then they dont show as another driver letter in my computer, you just get an icon that looks like a camera with the model number of the camera next to it. I had to do this at the weekend for Liz's mum and she has a Kodak camera, took 5 minutes piece of p*ss.
Alternatively RTFM... the process is described in there.

some Kodaks must be different then, mine shows up as a removable drive when plugged in...

A lot of 'older' Kodaks only get recognised by the easyshare crapware. Therefore all the talk of using Windows Explorer is no good.
We used to have that software, but damned if I can remember how we saved the pictures. Deleted the software Can't find the manual either.
Not much use really!
a freind of mine has been trying most of the night, managed to do it . but there must be an easyer way. but as i said i know how to do it now(i think) but i think the "add image"link may be playing up, as fizzwhell couldnt do it either
