Anyone had trouble with Logitech Webcam?

[Fred Bloggs]

I have a Logitech USB Webcam on the daughters Vista PC that until fairly recently worked OK. Recently (I guess something has "updated" itself) when ever Vista starts up the Logitech software falls over. Like this-

quickcam10.exe has stopped working

Google reveals a small number of similar issues and the only "fix" seems to be by Logitech who say "Do a clean install like this"-

Of course, it doesn't work. Anyone else seen similar issues before? I've looked for generic Vista Web Cam drivers to try but can't seem to find any. Thanks.

We have a Logitech Quick Cam Pro 9000 which does similar. Problem occured with windows updates turned on, one of the updates seemed to stop it working. Turned off auto-updates and rolled it back to a restore point before the updates. Working ok since.

Thanks. Any idea what it was that broke it?
