Short, practical fixes that weren't spelled out in the replies: remove the SmartMedia card and use a cheap USB SmartMedia/card reader first — it’s the fastest, avoids camera drivers and battery drain, and usually solves the problem. If you must connect the camera by USB, the C-3000 historically does not present as a standard USB Mass‑Storage device, so Windows may need either Olympus software or a small INF tweak in XP to recognise it. (learn.microsoft.com)

If comfortable with a low‑risk system edit, back up the file and create a restore point, then edit:

  1. Make a copy of C:\Windows\Inf\srusbusd.inf.
  2. Open the original in Notepad (run as Administrator).
  3. Remove the leading semicolons on the Olympus lines under [Manufacturer] and [ModelsOlympus], save, then uninstall the “Unknown device” in Device Manager and rescan (Windows will then pick the existing entry). Example before/after (shortened):
    
;... ;%MfgOlympus%=ModelsOlympus     →   %MfgOlympus%=ModelsOlympus

;... ;%USB\VID_07B4&PID_0100.Device%=Olympus, USB\VID_07B4&PID_0100
→ %USB\VID_07B4&PID_0100.Device%=Olympus, USB\VID_07B4&PID_0100


That INF tweak is a known community workaround for older Olympus models; follow the steps precisely and reboot if needed. ([dpreview.com](https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/167399?utm_source=openai))

If Windows complains about a missing certificate or refuses the driver, that is often a driver‑signing issue (64‑bit systems enforce signatures more strictly; 32‑bit XP usually only warns). On XP x64 you may be blocked; in that case use the card reader or seek a signed installer. If Olympus software is available, Camedia/Olympus Master can also handle transfers. Always back up the INF and set a restore point before editing system files. ([community.osr.com](https://community.osr.com/t/signing-drivers-with-signtool-for-xp-64-bit/32706?utm_source=openai))

actually usb drivers for windows 2000 wan't do any good with windows xp. i think that xp do not recognize the certificate of olymbus c3000-zoom and don't allow drivers to be properly installed. i always thought xp sucks and now i am proved right. i never had a problem with windows 2000 for 4 years, and i came up with 2 with xp in only one week of use. something bad is going on with xp
