I changed my computer a couple of months ago and have only just got round to trying to download my digital camera pics.
The trouble is I only have the driver on the original floppy which was for Windows 95/98 and my new computer is Windows XP with no floppy drive.
Any body got any ideas to help me please?

I'll catch up tomorrow!

    just plug the camera into the pc via USB - it should appear as a drive (removable)

    Or Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Camera and Scanner

    or Google the camera make and model and download from the Manufacturer's website - any utils you want - reply with make and model and some kind soul will look it up ...

    Yes sometimes windows XP finds the driver for a particular hardware automatically. If you are having trouble google is your friend :)

    find someone with a floppy drive and either copy the file to a cd, or email it to yourself.
