Cameras recognize files in specific directories and with specific names. This is invisible to you when you view the files on the camera. When you download the pics to your computer, usually the directory information is discarded. If you can get an SD card reader, take a few pictures with the camera onto a blank SD card that you allow the camera to format. Then take the card out and put it in the card reader and look at the directory structure that the camera writes files to, and the names it uses, you may be able to write the files back into a directory the camera recognizes as valid. If you haven't changed the file names you should be able to do this and get the camera to recognize the pictures.
Like on my camera there's usually some directory on the SD card like 'DCIM****' where the *'s are numbers. In that directory there's files 'DSC****.jpg' which are the image files. If you just put the files into the root directory of the SD card -- F:/ or whatever if you use Windows -- the camera probably won't recognize them. You need to make a directory in the SD card's root that is like what the camera uses. Then put the images, with appropriate filenames, into that directory. If you have the camera-formatted card and take pictures in the same number as the ones you want to move to the camera, you can manually move the files one by one from your computer to the individual filenames on the SD card, overwriting them, but keeping the same file and name. That's pretty labor intensive, but if you don't have too many it may be the easiest way.
If you don't understand what I'm describing and aren't willing to waste some time playing around with the card and your camera and an SD card reader, instead try looking for some software -- there may be something on the Kodak site or available on the web -- but then I kind of doubt it. It's not something I've heard of many people wanting to do.

You should buy an SD card reader, which appears like a reminiscence stick and is going into your USB port and your SD card is going within the different finish. Some laptops have an SD card slot already in them, so you'll simply positioned the cardboard immediately into your computer. Other than the ones approaches I can not feel of ways else you would do it, with out the digicam being concerned.

The camera is probably only able to recognize .jpg format files. If they are now in a Corel specific format, that's likely why the camera can't read them. If this is the case, Corel should give you the option to save the pics in .jpg format. Use the "Save As" command.

A camera is not file viewer device. If you download its photos from the memory card onto your computer and edit them in any way, shape or form, it won't play them back, that's that.

Make sure your pictures are named using the convention DCP_nnnn.JPG. If you've changed the name to anything else, you must change it to that convention. nnnn is a number that runs from 0001 to 9999.
