This has been a great day!!!
First,the HP all in one dont work rite..
now windows shut down the web cam.What is next?
I reinstalled it 3x and same thing. Windows isnt saying why.I'm ready to re-install windows,thinking I clicked on something or removed something I shouldnt have.I didnt make a restore point yet so can do that.All I get for a few seconds on the webcam is messed up pixels with part of my image there and wild crazy colors..then windows shuts it down. Great day in the hood.

Alright.....slow down......

Vista Ultimate Edition 64-bit.

What WebCam? My wife had issues with her Creative webcam and Vista, mainly because Creative sucks with their driver support.

Logitech STX. Compatible with Vista.It worked fine since Christmas.Now it's all pixel messed and phunny colors.I didnt change any settings on it,and reinstalled it 3x today.

Run driver cleaner.....make sure you get the driver for it uninstalled. Then delete the floder for it in the C:/Programs folder.......after you do that, go to the Logitech site and download the latest drivers and install them.

sometimes you can shut down whatever program is using it, unplug the cam for 20 seconds, then replug in the cam and restart the program that is using it. no software uninstall/reinstall needed usually

I have tried everything and nothing is working.Maybe the camera went bonkers.It was a Christmas present from my son and there is no reciept.

Damn straight. Every time I try to download updated drivers for my ancient Audigy2 ZS Platinum soundcards, I immeadiately gets BSOD's.

I have the same camera in Vista x86. The drivers make it go crazy for some reason, I had to unplug the camera, remove the drivers, restart, then plug the camera back in. Vista then downloaded automatically whatever drivers it had found, and it's been fine ever since.

I'm gonna give it 1 more shot tomorrow, after that I guess email Logitech see what they say.Maybe they will send me specific drivers and not the whole setup...I dunno.

I have a Logitech express/go camera that I got at wally world for $20 and that works just fine on XP and Vista x64 (of course the networking is dead in my Vista so not like the cam does any good)
