AGFA ePHOTO "SMILE" DIGITAL STILL CAMERA (Model #ADC-CL15U) drivers anyone?

I have this kinda crappy and older digital camera I got for a song a few years ago, but my drivers CD got all scratched up and the installer doesn't work anymore. Even If it did, the CD is for Windows 95/98, AGFA has this way complex web site that makes it hard to find anything on it, but they do have the manual and a driver update on their site, but you have to have the driver in the first place to make the update work.
I found this site - http://drivers.kidinc.us (http://drivers.kidinc.us) - where you can submit your device drivers, and download a bunch of different ones too. I gave them what I could salvage from my original CD in a zip file, and they let me download all I want from them now. I got the AGFA camera working on Before, but its got a serial port and not a USB or anything so it takes for EEEEEEEVER to get your pictures off it, and they aren't that great a pictures in the first place, which sucks, but I still would use the camera if I knew you could use an adapter and use it USB somehow or something.

Your point?

The agfa support site is very straight forward
type Agfa support in google.com
First hit is the agfa support site, choose your camera/other product from the drop down list.
You then get taken to all available files for your product.

The fact that there are no drivers for XP is irrelevant. You said it yourself it is old. Why do you expect a new OS, designed to support NEW hardware to be totally backwards compatible?

Why should agfa redesign there hardware inside the camera to be usb compatible? You expect to be able to return the camera and get them to replace the communications chip and interface for free?

The camera was designed to be compatible with the technology available at the time. If you wish to still use the camera, then you should keep a compatible pc going too.
