Do you need the Olympus program to read from the camera? Can't you just download the Olympus Master-2 from their web site and use that? I've typically gotten a CD with any camera that I've bought that has various software tools on it for use with the camera. Autorun is evil. It always has been.

One of my old digitals does the same. New Olympus SP-550UZ. Very fancy. With Autorun off, connect, and it just sits there.
