Vista update for Fuji Finepix f10?

Help needed urgently!

Just got a laptop and was persuaded to accept Vista instead of holding out for XP........and I bet you can all guess whats coming next....

I can get round the scanner and printer incompatibility, but the new laptop can't be fooled into accepting my Fuji Finepix f10 download software which is a very, very mega problem.
Does anyone know if Fuji do Vista updates for this model as I had a bit of a hunt on their site and couldn't find anything?

I can download photos ok, its the file naming thats the problem as all I get is DSC_0012 etc and I need to be able to get 0801250012 (yymmdd0012).

Not being stunningly technically-minded isn't helping either.......

Sorry, there are no Vista drivers ...

However, I have never, ever, used any "software" that comes with any of my cameras.

I have Vista Home Premium, it auto-detected my Fuji FinePix S5700 camera if I use the supplied USB cable ... when I either plug in the SD card into my card reader, or, use the supplied USB cable that links the camera directly, Vista, as did XP, pops up a box asking what I want to do.

Because I also use Google's free picture program Picasa, I'm given a choice as to what to use to copy my pics from the camera to the PC ... either Media Player or Picasa. I usually use WMP then, open Picasa and 'play' with me picks.

An added bonus with Picasa is the free web albums I can make up, then either invite privately or make the album available for anyone ... I prefer to make private albums & invite family & friends via a link in an email ... all nice-n-easy to do via Picasa.

Picasa uses all the information from your camera ... time, day & date, what F, shutter speed & ISO & a whole host of other usefull infornmation ... worth having a look at Picasa, it's free.
