... is there a way to do this even though i lost the Camedia software that came with the camera and got a new PC with Windows XP, on which the camera does not register?

Take the XD Picture card out of the camera and plug it into the picture card reader on your computer.
Go to "My Computer" where you will find a drive you never had before. Open that and all your pictures will be there.
If you don't have a picture card reader on your computer, I would suggest you buy one. They are quite cheap (less than $30.) and they plug into any USB or USB-2 port.
Otherwise, you need to load the Olympus software into your computer, connect the camera to a USB port with the supplied cable and use the supplied software to download and store the pictures.
A card reader is WAY easier.

Windows XP should definately be able to see the camera. If windows says that a device on the USB has exceeded the expected voltage then there is a problem with either the cable or the camera or both. I recommend getting a USB card-reader. That is the cheapest alternative and you can use it with as many different cards as you can find - some offer up to 8 different types of cards.
They should cost somewhere between $15 and $30.

I hate Olympus cameras! You should seriously think about getting a canan or sony. Not that! I've had that before and I hated it!!!
As for your questions, plug in the cord to the usb slot, and you should just be walked through the rest of it..Good luck!
