Ditto. Olympus's answer is to deny all responsibility and only repair offered is to replace main circuit at cost of 265 AUD : (

Tried to install new camera but it has not brought up the users manual or IB programme. I can upload photos to the Olympus master programme.

The Olympus SP-800uz users manual can also be downloaded:

The Olympus [ib] software is on the cameras internal memory, if you did not format (delete) it. Look there for the setup.exe and run it. Although the best alternative free Olympus software is Olympus viewer 2 which replaces also Olympus Master 2:

I have the same problem. I simply started reading/erasing the memory stick with a cheap universal card reader. This method is much faster too.

Constant blue/purple screen on Olympus SP-500uz

The problem you are describing is a problem with one of the chips in the camera that controls image processing. It seems to have failed and needs to be replaced. Following are the instructions to send your camera to Olympus for service.
http://olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_servicerepair.asp

Olympus will charge a flat rate repair fee for this product if beyond the one year factory warranty or the warranty is voided. The cost is $151 plus your local sales tax. This covers parts and labor, factory cleaning and diagnostic check, 6 month warranty and the cost of shipping the product back to you is all included in that price.
