    Do you have any type of connection cable that came with your camera?

    And what do you mean without a disk? Is it an internal memory instead of a memory card? If you have a memory card, you can get a card reader cheap from Best buy, Circuit city, target or maybe even walmart for about $15 to $20.

    If you are asking how to download pics without installing the driver software that lets the computer recognize the camera, you've got a few options...

    If it's a matter of your losing or just not having the software, you might be able to access a download at the maker's website. If you intend to hook this camera up a lot you might as well do this if your computer doesn't have media slots or you don't have a card reader.

    Second, as the previous post mentioned, you can get a card reader for not a lot of money... and this allows you more flexibility... if someone is over with a different dig camera and you want their pics you simply put the media into the reader and don't worry about installing drivers for their camera. Our computer has built in media slots, but if it didn't wed absolutely have a media reader, as the previous poster mentioned. We've bought a lot of things like this from ecost.com, and many times you can get rebates that make it free of cost, but you pay for shipping and handling.

    Less convenient, if you do have removable media but don't want or have time to do the above you can take the media to sams, walmart, walgreens, etc and use their media reader to transfer the images to a disk, for a fee.

    If your camera does not have removable media you are probably stuck with needing to install the driver for the camera.
