We need more information. What is the model of your camera? How do
you connect it? With USB? Did it work with XP? Does it require
driver?
My new Canon camera works fine. It acts as an external storage device
when it's pluged into the USB port and it doesn't require special
drivers. However, my old Sony camcorder requires a special driver to
transfer photos from it's memory stick via USB. The driver doesn't
work with Vista and there is not a new driver available.
One option is to get a memory card reader for your computer and to use
that instead og the USB port.

Without knowing what kind of camera or if you contacted the maker's tech
support for updated software, I can't help you. A better solution with
digital cameras anyway is to purchase a usb card reader and put the
camera's memory card into the card reader instead.

I tried downloading drivers from disc and pentax site everthing seemed OK
when I go to "start"..."windows photo gallery"..."import pictures and

under scanners and cameras my Pentax is there as a scanner not a camera and
it comes up with Xerox as manufacturer.

This may or may not apply to you as my camera is a Fujifilm S5000
On my camera there are two options for how the camera appears to the
computer when attached with USB.
It can look like a disk drive (the normal way that pictures are imported).
It can also look like a 'PC camera'.
When set to be 'PC Camera' it appears as a webcam to programs looking for a
webcam. No import of pictures is offered.
Note that when set to 'PC Camera' it does NOT show in Scanners and Cameras,
but is a possible selection (and works) for programs looking for a webcam.
As other posters have recommended, I prefer using a card reader rather than
the USB interface on my camera anyway.

PS Xerox seems to be the only/default scanner available for manual entry if
a scanner is not found.

I went to the Pentax website and looked at the drivers for the Pentax
optio 330. There were XP drivers but no Vista drivers. That may be
why you can't get the drivers to work for you. I see that the Camera
use compact Flash card. So you might have to break down and buy a
reader.
