The specs say that the camera can take up to 2GB, so it can't really be too big. More likely the card got corrupted. This could be due to Vista, but highly doubtful. Any memory card can fail or become corrupted. And when you're on vacation the last thing you want is to lose the opportunity to take pictures until you can recover that media card with a software utility. If your card goes bad, swapping another one for it at that moment is of advantage so you can keep taking pics. Then, later when you're in front of your PC, you can use a utility like "F-Recovery" to get back your pictures and recover your card.
What I would also recommend is to go to the Olympus site and see if there's a firmware update. The firmware for the camera is only as current as the day the camera was manufactured. There's bound to be an update which addresses certain bugs or issues that have cropped up since.
