Dunno if this helps but have you tried to run the camera software
under WINE?  I havn't had much luck with WINE - but sometimes you
get lucky!

Where does it plug into the PC?  You say it "saves" the files - so
is this just a matter of figuring out the file format - or do you
need a utility to get the pictures out of the camera and into the
computer?
