No, you do not need to install the software for your camera to use
a memory card reader--that's actually a major advantage for those who
have multiple cameras.

You don't mention which OS your computer is running. If it is XP (SP2)
or Vista, you shouldn't need to install any driver to get your card
reader working--that should happen automatically when you first plug it
in.

But you should plug in the reader *without a card in it* the first time
to allow XP or Vista to find it and install the appropriate driver. You
will see some messages, ending with something to the effect that "Your
new hardware is ready to use."

After that, you can insert your memory cards and access them.
