looking for digital camera drivers… !!! … :(

UPDATE: i got the driver CD, and do not need any more help regarding this

I would really like to get some pictures off a digital camera i have, the thing is – its a no-name camera with no drivers. Windows XP SP1 just detects it as “Camera!” and prompts for drivers, unable to find any itself.
The guy who gave me the camera mentioned the software CD is long-lost. The digital camera is the kind that has internal memory only, no flash cards. So the only way to get the pictures off is to use the USB cable with the correct software.

I’ve tried tons of drivers from different companies, and nothing worked. I tried searching for cameras like it, the company name on it, etc – and nothing helped.

The pictures on the camera are somewhat special, and i do NOT want to lose them.

if someone can help me with this by providing a working method to get the pictures off the camera, I will PayPal you $5. dont take paypal? i can arrage for a check then.

i saw a link on Newegg.com for $147 for the Full version of OEM Windows XP Pro w/ SP1 (comes with hardware to make it legit). seems like good deal (XP Pro full goes for $299).

i noticed some people reviewed it, so i decided to read some of the poor reviews.

1/5 stars:
—
Linux Red Hat 9 is better than XP, easier to use and more stable. Also you can easy run server from your PC, XP can’t.
Buy Linux Red Hat 9 and see for your self.
PS;
No more scanning from XP info about you to microsoft, you want more security, Linux ix the only way.
There is 1 Millinon software already for Linux and most of them are free from Internet

I own both OEM WinXP and Win2K, and found WinXP to be the slower more troublesome of the 2.

I installed WinXP Pro (SP1 integrated) and upon the first boot, I experienced errors that occurred over and over such as shlwapi.dll crashing explorer.exe and a clean setup was rare (even after BIOS flash).
I recommend buying XP Pro w/o the Service Pack so you can “upgrade” at your own risk.

2/5, some guy complaining that he can’t do illegal stuff with it:

I got this product and it worked on one of my computers. When i purchased Windows 2000, i could install it as many times as i want. With this version i could only install it on one computer. Newegg should put somthing that says this on the site because i would like to know that before i spend a lot of money for a liscense for only one computer. Other than that great OS.

5/5, who seemed confused:
—
Does this version have Office XP preinstalled?
