I have a Kodak AiO5100 printer/scanner/copier and I'll be damned if just once they issue an update that actually works.
Granted they don't update very often but, they update often enough that I forget the troubles I had with the last update.
I turn off all of my security features firewall, spamblocker. pop up blocker, spyware blocker, etc... start up the update and goes well til it gets to the install portion and then bam, nothing. After an hour or so of no progress I end up shutting down the install process, removing the software, and have to search for Kodaks clean utility and I'll be damned if that doesn't hang up too.
In the end the new version won't install because old files are in the way that the dang clean utility can't seem to get rid of. So I get on the line with their code monkeys in bangladesh, I think his name was literally Ghandi and what does he suggest?
To remove the software and run the clean utility. Arrrgh! When I explain what I have done what does he ask "Do you have any firewalls running" etc...
****, ****, damn, piss, poo
