THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! : After calling Toshiba 2x (no help, they want you to pay), I attempted several times to upgrade to 1.06 version (had a bit of a problem a few times) and LO and BEHOLD!!!! I finally succeeded and my camera works just like new. In the meantime I ordered (after trying it out at the store) the Kodak 6490 10x zoom digital which was soooo easy to use and appears to be a really good camera. I haven't received it yet, because it was on backorder - any thoughts on this camera?? Again, thank you for your suggestion, which worked, because the next step was that I was going to ditch the camera since it was not worth it to send away to fix and pay for it. Again. your input was MOST VALUABLE!!!!!.
