Does it work on any other computer?

I would try that before I spent a lot more time trying to get it to work with this computer. Like SebC said, my first guess is that the camera, or the cable you are attaching the camera with is bad.

Very unlikely that Windows doesn't already have the drivers needed for your camera to act as removable storage. You could try running a custom (ie not express) Windows update with the camera attached and see if anything comes up under optional updates, but there is no way I can think of that it would work given the scenario you have described.
