The driver that you mentioned is needed for older windows version (98 etc) because they have no USB 2.0 support. If your computer run XP-SP1 and above, the driver is not needed.

Could you try the camera on another computer?

Did you reset the BIOS? If not, please do the following: Disconnect the power cable and take out carefuly the CMOS battery. Usually 10 minutes is enough but this time I would like it to be not less then half an hour. Reinstall the battery and set time and date.
By the way, did you try connecting this particular camera when the computer is running on Linux?

Just booted into Linux (Ubuntu) and the computer and camera played nicely together. Guess that points to my installation of Win XP, huh? Is there any way to reinstall XP without the need to reinstall each of my programs individually?
