This is my first Web cam. I have a 2-year-old Dell Dimension 9100 running XP with 2 GB of RAM and 3-GHz processor. Not exactly a budget computer.
From a reputable company like Logitech, I expected installaton software that is professional. (It came with Quickcam v11.0) Instead, the installation CD froze repeatedly, generating message like "MSiExec.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" Earth to Logitech: Professionals handle errors gracefully; don't drop your customer into quicksand! (I used to develop quality commercial software) I even got a BSOD (blue screen of death) when I *uninstalled* the camera driver. Uninstalled! That's outrageous! I never got the sucker to work and it's going back to CompUSA for a refund or exchange. What a piece of software junk! After wasting hours on this, now I'm thinking of trying a Microsoft cam, as I hope they'd handle Windows conflicts a bit more gracefully. Note: Since posting the above, I visited the user forums on Logitech's site, which are filled with users complaining about every conceivable kind of conflict and installation error. I used to see this kind of stuff in 1983. This is not what software should be like in 2007. Totally unacceptable.Get more detail about Logitech Webcam Pro 9000.
