Thanks Kero, very much appreciated.

I was afraid of that, as it was the only one listed.

Here is one of three fixes listed by M$ in the case that the camera does not work after the software has been installed. As the camera, is working, just not working correctly, I think this is the best place to start. Please do the following:

• Unplug the LifeCam.
• Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
• On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
• Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
• Right-click every device under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
• Restart the computer and let the computer reinstall the USB controllers.
• Plug in the LifeCam.

I'll be looking forward to your reply, with my fingers crossed, .

Darn, still no change. This is starting to get ridiculous. lol

Your telling me buddy,

OK, let's try the registry edit fix. It is extremely important that you follow my instructions exactly. Making changes to your registry, without knowing what to change, can cause major problems with your computer.

Before beginnig this fix, you must make a back-up of your registry. To do this go to Start, Run, and type in Regedit.exe, press OK.

Once in Registry editor, Highlight My Computer, click on File, Export. Name the file today's date. Save the file to a place you can easily locate it if there is a problem, most often the desktop. Hit Save. Close Regisrty Editor.

Now you can begin the fix, courtesy of Microsoft:
1.Click Start, Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.
2.Double-click Logitech Process Monitor.
3.In Startup type, select Disabled.
4.Under Service status, click Stop, and then click OK.
5.Close Services.
6.Click Start, click Run, type regedit.exe, and then click OK.

Note You might not find all the following subkeys or entries. However, you should find at least one.

7.In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CONTROLSET001\CONTROL\CL ***\6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F
If the right pane contains Lower filters: lvmvdrv, right-click this entry, and then click Delete.

8.In Registry Editor, locate and then delete the following subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CONTROLSET001\SERVICES\L VMVDRV

9.Locate and then click the following subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSYTEM\CONTROLSET003\CONTROL\C LASS\6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F

13.Close Registry Editor.

14.Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click OK.

15.In Device Manager, expand Imaging Devices, right-click Microsoft LifeCam, and then click Uninstall.

16.On the Action menu, click Scan for hardware changes. If you are prompted to update the drivers, click Yes.

I'll be crossing my fingers for you Kero.

Well since nothing was helping, I decided to try it on another computer, which happened to be brand new. It didn't work there either so I decided to just return it. But thanks for all your help. I appreciate it.

Thankyou for letting us know the outcome.

Most appreicated.

JB.
