Welcome to the MSE forums.

You should be able to download drivers/etc from the Olympus site.

Select The Software Type (suggest All), then select Model (C120 in this case), then select your Operating System (Windows version) and click search. Should give you a list of software that matches the options you selected.

hhm, it doesn't list any USB drivers for Windows XP. Stating "The camera driver is part of the operating system.". There is an instruction document for connecting/using the camera with XP - http://downloads.olympus-europa.com/consumer/Camera/297/USBAutoConnect.pdf

This is the page I was looking at - http://www.olympus.co.uk/consumer/208_software.cfm?category=0&productgroup=&product=339&os=7&result=

Er maybe just maybe if you want to you can find your picture through windows Explorer, Start,All programs,Windows Explorer, + expand this sign at My computer and look for removable disk then the folder is in there called 100olymp and view the picture there thenwhen you opened one save with the program you are using i.e, File Save As give it a name and save it in My Pictures folder, and dont forget when you plug youre camera in xp asks you what you want to do i.e open with prog,open in file,once you have saved it you can alter the image with any small program i.e picasa,,, IF this is all a bit confusing phone olympus and ask for a copy---Ive also got the C120

Yes do this. I have an olympus camera but have lost the disc. If you have XP it should already have the drivers on your PC already.

When you plug the camera in via the USB port it reads the camera like it is another hard drive. So you can open the files and drag to the folder you want them in.

do you not need to install the disc to use the camera...like when you use the camera the first time???on my old computer i clicked on the camedia icon on the desktop..and downloaded the images.. but i have lost the disc and want to be able to load and edit pictures on my new computer....how do i do this without the original disc that came with the camera???
