Yes you can. But 300 dpi is nothing. You could compare this to a question like, fits a yard in a football field. When talking about 300 dpi, you also must know how big a picture has to be. According to the manual, your camera can shoot pictures with 4288 by 3216 pixels. When you want to print 300 dpi that is 14 inch by 12 inch pictures. If you want to shoot pictures for smaller results like 6 inch by 4 inch or 7 inch by 5, you can chose a smaller resolution. Don't be confused by the technical terms of 300 dpi. This is only used in the printing industry. I already printed till 4 times the resolution that was theoretical possible, and still the pictures look very good. If you have a great picture, shot in the highest resolution, you should be able to make a print of more that 5 or 6 feet and still have a great picture

Your photos were not recovered intact and got corrupted somehow.All you can do is to try another data recovery software to recover deleted photos from memory card.Tenorshare Data Recovery is one of the best photo recovery software I have used.You can download it and scan your memory card for free to preview whether your photos can be recovered.Get it from http://www.any-data-recovery.com/product/datarecoverystandard.htm

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

Remove the SD card from the camera, now look along the one edge for a switch, slide it towards the contacts to unlock the card. The switch that is farthest from the contacts is in the locked position, write protected.

Try these procedures.

Having gone over a month without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader eliminated the need for a driver.

The Olympus Stylus is a point and shoot digital camera that provides a weatherproof feature for additional safety. It has an interface that provides information on the status of the camera's computer. The camera comes with a one year limited warranty to cover some damage issues. Once the warranty expires, the repairs are at the owner's expense. Many repairs to the camera can be handled by the consumer without the need for a technician.

How to Repair an Olympus Stylus Digital Camera

1.Diagnose the problems the camera is experiencing and prepare the tools accordingly. If the camera needs to be opened, a small Philips screwdriver will be needed. Additional batteries, a blow brush cleaning kit and memory cards can be beneficial to ensure repair quality as well.

2. Power problems can normally be remedied by changing the AA batteries. If the batteries are not working, plug in the AC adapter to test the power. Lens issues may also stop the camera from powering on.

3. If the camera lens will not open or focus, then small debris or sand may be stuck in the gears of the lens. If so, the casing of the camera will need to be opened. Access the lens housing and blow clear any debris with a blow brush kit. Close the casing and try powering on the camera to test how the lens operates.

4. If the lens housing is knocked out of alignment, and the camera will not power on, it is possible to realign it. Open the casing of the camera using the Philips screw driver and access the lens housing. Gently adjust the area with a soft item or with the blow brush tip. Enclose the casing and turn the camera back on to verify if it works correctly.

5. If a memory card is not recognized when inserted into the slot, clean the gold contacts of the memory card and reinsert it. If the card is still not recognized, then format the card using the computer menu. If still not recognized, replace the card with another one. The reader in the camera may also be damaged and need to be repaired.
