This is an older model.
However, you could go to the olympus site and look for the software to download.
Try the link below :
For manual:

and for software to be installed on your computer, you could use the link below and downlad the latest software (for FE 310)
http://www.olympus.co.uk/consumer/205.htm

I am sure you will be able to locate the desired software. On the homepage of this site, these is a section for downloads itself.
Happy downloading.

Try using rechargeable batteries.Unless date coded, you don't know how long batteries have been on a shelf, and with rechargeables, you know that the batteries are charged (provided they have not been charge cycled too many times.).

clean the seal around the door... else it is repair

The reset option is located when you hit the Menu button when in shooting mode - it is on the left hand side of the screen. You would click Reset and press Ok. It will show Reset Yes or No. Select Yes and press Ok. The camera will now be in factory default settings.

This is either a bad CCD or the lens aperture not opening. You could send it to mackcam.com or to olympus for an estimate. Might be looking at a $125 repair

Give it a few tries before you go on vacation. Thank you using Fix YA Please rate this answer.

This usually means the batteries are almost dead. If rechargeable types, they can no longer hold a charge. If the batteries are fresh, try another set newly purchased.

First you need to get the button out. But if it is defect (I think it is) that won't help. Did you try to find out what is keeping the button in the depressed position? is it possible there is some dirt around the knob? Something you can remove?I don't think it is worth bringing it to a service center.If they need one hour to repair it will cost twice a new camera of that class.So when you can't get the know out, I think you should start saving up for a new camera.

Could it be you changed something in the settings? Can you see the scene in a normal way before shooting? then it look to me the sensor an the camera have to be good. It is to much to tell you how, because you have to look that up in the manual, but, please try to set the camera in auto mode, because is you did set to in the scene mode, and than chose blurry background, or shooting through glass that could cause the distortion. I put the link for the manual down here, in case you can't find yours. Start at page 6 to see how to shoot in automatic. Be aware if you shoot ready shot (anti shake) on a tripodthe pictures will be blurred to. http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/FE-320_X-835_C-540_FE-340_X-855_C-560_Instruction_Manual_EN.pdf

The socket for the remote shutter release cable is on the right side of the camera when facing the lens. It is about half way between the top and bottom of that side. Just plug it in and set your shutter option to use it.

One alternative is to order the part from http://uscamera.com/fe5020.htm and replace it yourself.

recharge / replace battery

Do you really want 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). 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 ca use any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

Yes you should just plug into your computer and turn on camera or remove memory card if you have one installed
