Imaging for Windows XP 1

There are lots of free alternatives, including the XP Picture and Fax Viewer. I prefer the freeware infranview from
But, since you asked, see Kelly Theriot's notes here:

It's been a while since I used Win 98, but if I remember correctly, Imaging was mainly used for tif's was it not?
If so, you'd be better off using a different program that is more compatible with jpg's, they're a much better file type, generally speaking.

The following is from Lockergnome tips.

Kodak did a wonderful job on their Imaging Application (which comes bundled with Windows 98 and Windows 2000). As I archived more and more black and white documents, I came to appreciate its power. Sadly, this utility does not exist in Windows XP. There's no KODAKIMG.EXE or KODAKPRV.EXE to be found! My heartfelt thanks goes out to Lockergnomaniac John Hunter, who found a solution for those of us who miss our dear old app. We agree that the new "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" sucks. If you have a Windows 2000 CD, copy the following files from the disc: OCKODAK.DLL, OIENG400.DLL, OIPRT400.DLL, OISLB400.DLL, OISSQ400.DLL, OITWA400.DLL, OIUI400.DLL, IMGCMN.DLL, IMGADMIN.OCX, IMGEDIT.OCX, IMGSCAN.OCX, and IMGTHUMB.OCX. Note that these files may still be compressed in the "**_" format.
You will need to use either the EXPAND.EXE utility or WinZip to uncompress them. If you have a Windows 98 CD, copy those same files PLUS the following: OIADM400.DLL, OICOM400.DLL, OIDIS400.DLL, OIFIL400.DLL, OIGFS400.DLL, IMGSHL.DLL, and IMGOCXD.HLP. In both cases, you should place all of them inside your System32 folder. Now, it's time to register the OCX files. Tap Winkey+R to launch the Run applet and then enter: "regsvr32 imgadmin.ocx" (sans quotes). Do the same for imgedit.ocx, imgscan.ocx, and imgthumb.ocx. Remember, to unregister an ActiveX control, you only need to trail regsvr32 with the "/u" switch. Be sure you've copied over the aforementioned executables to your System32 folder. They should work now! NOTE: You may need to launch the Kodak program to see if there are any other files missing from this procedure.

Kelly notes an important point about the original Lockergnome article in the link I provided above. If you are using kodakimg.exe from Win98/ME/NT:
From Kelly Theriot:
Kodakimg.Exe
After installing the program below (you can remove it later again after using it) and you run it you are able to copy and install Kodak Imaging in XP from a Windows 98/SE/ME CD.
You need to understand just a little bit of German to use the install program, everything is standard. While installing Windows Imaging you might see some screen flickering, just ignore and wait for the program to be completely ready.
You can find the program here:
In addition, Kodak Imaging will be installed in folder C:\ifw. You can move the whole folder to C:\Program Files if you prefer without problem and make a shortcut reflecting the change.

I ran through the tip from Lockergnome that linney posted. I got all the files from Win 2k CD, registered them successfully. I'm getting document load errors but I am able to use the ActiveX development controls in VB, which is what I primarily wanted Kodak Imaging for - for now at least.
