You don't need a driver. 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 management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

The manual, on page 87 and 88 says that some computers or laptops and even CF cardreaders, need to power down, before CF card is inserted. They advice to check the manual from the cardreader. The manual is still online.

Loading the pictures onto your computer simply copies them, leaving the originals on the camera's memory card. To clear the card, format it in the camera by using the format command in the recording menu, as described in the "Formatting a CF Card" section of the manual (page 83 in my copy). If you need a manual, you may download a copy here.
