You have so many problems, it is difficult to get started but I think
everybody will try to help.

1. You camera
You have Kodak DC215. I checked the Kodak site to see what kind of camera
this is. It is an older camera (please take no offense, in the digital world
anything above 2 years is old and 3 years is senile) and according to the
specifications you used a serial port to transfer photos from the camera to
the computer. I looked if this can be done with XP at
http://www.kodak.com/global/en/service/downloads/dln_ekn.jhtml?ekn=EKN006551
Apparently this cannot be done. The only available way to read the photos
would be to purchase a USB picture card reader and then downloading the
software available at the above site to read your memory card from the card
reader. The problem here is I don't know if your computer has a USB
connector to connect a card reader to it. So in order for us to help you
tell us a few things about your computer.

2. Your computer
How old is it?
Does is have a USB port?
You upgraded to XP, from what, 98, ME or 2000?

3. Your CD drive is not working and you can't read CDs. Again, give us a few
answers.
When you copied photos to CD, how did you make the copy. You use some
software like Roxio, Nero?
If we know this we can direct you to obtain the necessary software to read
your CD. The fact that your CD drive is not working would indicate that you
may have to go to the manufacturer of the CD drive and obtain a driver
compatible with XP to make it work on XP.

4. The files on your camera are no longer jpegs.
What are they?
