Just to be clear, you need to install the "drivers" and the "software" on the Win98 PC.
While Ben is correct in saying that 2000 and XP normally can detect/install the drivers automatically, this is not always the case. My Kodak digital camera requires me to load a driver in 98 and 2K, but XP recognizes it in its HCL and doesn't need one.

how is your digital camera connected to your pc? if it's via usb, you also probably need to install the driver for usb 2.0 which is already available in winxp and 2k.

torturemind,
Most digital cameras use USB while digital camcorders tend to use firewire. Furthermore, only some of the newer "high-end" still cameras are using USB 2.0. Just about every camera I've seen that's older than 1 year, however, has only been compatible with USB 1.1. So I don't think any other drivers would be needed unless dughard is installing USB 2.0 for the first time.
If a PC has USB 2.0 ports, then the driver is likely already installed. They come with the add-in cards.
