Could anyone tell me if htere is a driver for my olympus d220 digital camer a that works with windows xp?
NOT, apparently, from Olympus themselves.
As CCT says, the D-220 seems to be too old a camera to be supported any more by Olympus. It is not on their Windows XP compatibility listing:

The camera was evidently originally supplied with (beyond the usual Camedia software) a Windows TWAIN driver. Presumably it was for Win9x/ME.
On Google I found one unanswered question on an imaging forum saying the software (presumably Camedia) would not transfer images under XP in compatability mode.
If someone were to use an adapter (serial x usb) would an XP based comp have any chance of seeing an older digital camera like this as a USB mass storage device?
I doubt it - I can't see that it would comply with the device class, but I guess it could be something to try.
I read the information I found as meaning the camera needed its own device driver to be seen as a TWAIN device to use the "acquire" process in imaging software. It would seem pointless to write a TWAIN driver if the device was already a USB mass storage device.
That seemed to be a common path taken by camera manufacturers. Not being computer device manufacturers, they started out producing to their own proprietary standards, and wrote a driver to translate. Only more recently they started simply making the cameras compliant as a USB mass storage device.
I tried the old software and it seems to work in xp
Do you mean an older version of Camedia? Sounds like a good result.
I belierve this what Ijust tried and it works even though it does not mention windodws xp on it.
Lot's of info here: (the D-220 and D-220L may be different, but I can't tell from most of the info);
