Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer. The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa.
The camera is a AutoConnect camera and uses the driver usbstor that is located in windows. when you connect the camera to the computer, you should see PC highlight on the camera screen. Press ok and the camera should display one moment please then go blank. It should be able to see the camera through computer or my computer icon.
Sounds like you've been taking pictures with no card in the camera so all of your pics are on the camera's internal memory. This is the cause of so many problems that I cannot begin to tell you some of the stories I've heard. You need to get a memory card. Then, you can go into the menu of the camera and find "copy" which will give you the option to copy the internal memory to the card. After you download the pics from the card, with no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory and then promise to never use it again.

Make sure the camera is on and pc is selected on the camera screen when connected to the computer. You will need to have PC highlighted and select ok on the camera as this starts the camera and computer to communicate. Once communication established the LCD screen of the camera goes dark and the computer should generate a removable disk drive. Check the System Tray (lower right corner beside the PC time) for Safely Remove Hardware. When you click on it, it should read "Safely Remove USB Mass Storage Device Drive ?:" If you dont see that, then check the Device Manager to see if the camera is recognized as USB Mass Storage Device. Sounds like you may need to reinstall the device driver for the camera. The camera uses the driver usbstor.
You can transfer the photos directly from the camera to the PC using the USB cable that came with the camera. You don't need to transfer the pics to memory card first.
Connect the cable to the camera and the PC. Turn on the camera and your PC will recognise it as an external storage device. Use the PC's software to transfer the photos from camera to PC.
Once you have the pics on the PC you can use the Olympus Master software included with the camera to edit and archive the photos on the PC.
