Photo No back to zero
FILE NAME..................................................Resetting the file names of pictures
RESET This method is useful when grouping files on separate cards.
The file number and folder number are reset every time a new card
is inserted in the camera. The folder number returns to [No. 100]
and the file number returns to [No. 0001].
AUTO This method is useful when you want to manage all your files
with sequential numbers.
Even if a new card is inserted, the folder number and file number are
retained from the previous card. This helps you to manage multiple cards.
To do this you go to the menu and to the setup option and press ok. Down arrow to file name and pick the option you want to use and press ok.
Olympus stylus 725 SW has gone blank
The problem you are describing is a problem with one of the chips in the camera that controls image processing. It seems to have failed and needs to be replaced. Following are the instructions to send your camera to Olympus for service.

Olympus will charge a flat rate repair fee for this product if beyond the one year factory warranty or the warranty is voided. The cost is $128.85 plus your local sales tax. This covers parts and labor, factory cleaning and diagnostic check, 6 month warranty and the cost of shipping the product back to you is all included in that price.
Last picture preview
the fix should be in the set-up menu. Look through for "post-view", which should control whether the image stays on the LCD after you shoot, and for how long.
Water got into my friends Olmypus Stylus 720 camera
The pictures should be on the memory card, and not the hard drive. If you get a replacement camera (the same model) you could put the memory card into it, and your pictures should be there. Otherwise, you could get a memory card reader.
Screen display
Check your manual to find out how to disable date time etc.
You may not be able to however it could be part of the system.

When I turn the camera
Unless it's turning off while you're still taking photos, I believe this is similar to many electronic devices (i.e. laptops), which turn off after a certain period of inactivity so that the battery won't die when you accidentally leave it on when putting it away etc.
Play & Menu buttons/display not working properly after water got in
I took mine surfing, and it leaked salt water (just a couple of drops) into the battery compartment. I rinsed the whole camera with fresh water, and the camera came back to life -- but had similar display issues.
I had the camera serviced at Best Buy, where I had purchased a 4yr maintenance contract. In addition to fixing the electronics, they replaced the door on the battery compartment with one that has a metal hinge instead of the original plastic.If you don't have a warranty, then getting a used replacement is by far the cheapest route.
My advice: buy another one on eBay or Craigs. I just got a second one two weeks ago for $70.00 and it is working perfectly. This is an awesome camera, and worth the hassle to repair or replace.
Y NO CLARITY THEN OTHER CAMERAS????
reset camera or try to slow the press down speed during picture taking... if you mash down the shutter button fast, the pictures tend to be less than desirable with any digital camera
Transferring photos to PC
try using a memory card reader that supports a xd card-very generic plug and play no software to load and computer should recogtnize card-if not open my computer and you will find new drive letters for card reader in there
Battery Life
That is not good, by the way is there a possibility that the battery is over charge? because overcharging it will cause some damage on the battery and it will only good for a few months...
Hope that helps........
Write protection
format the card through the camera menus... always make sure you safely remove camera before disconnecting (Safely Remove Hardware)
Olympus 720 SW blurry
slow the motion of taking the picture...by mashing hard the images in digital camera are always less the desirable
