Olympus C-860L digital camera and WindowsXP

[Confused]

i cannot find anywhere on the web drivers/software for the Olympus C-860L digital camera for any version of Windows, specifically XP

it is not part of the Windows "Scanners and Cameras" bit in CP

any help will be much appreciated

Don't bother with even trying to do that. All you need to do is connect a USB reader for Smart Media and that is the end of the camera problem. You then just take the S/M out of the Oly and put it in the reader (San Disk, Lexar, Hagiwara, . . . all are good). XP then sees it as another HDD and the reads are direct into any imaging software of your choice. PSP 7 is great for digital imagery editing.

I am on my 4th Oly . . . have three systems, and have never bothered installing any camera software. It is not necessary.

the thing is tho that it's not my camera - i'm borrowing it off a mate while he is out of town for a few days, and i forgot (*smacks forehead*) to get the software CD, cos i thought that WinXP may pick it up

so, getting a S/M reader is not really viable atm
