"UPDATE"...Perhaps this review and the current update will help others, however, the original review was yesterday and now this update continues with my progress overnight...I did get the camera up and running and would change the rating to a 4 out of 5 stars but I cannot change the stars via this edit...I ended up going to the "Logitech" site and dowloading the current drivers. I only loaded the drivers and did not use the disk that came with the camera. With just the drivers loaded I went directly to "Skype" and it works great. No glitches or problems in my first online event with this camera. I did change the mike default on "Skpye" to get the audio to acknowledge using the Logitech 9000's mike but beyond that, I had absolutely no problems...I still got the error "1719" but gave up fiddling with it anymore thinking that if it's working, why risk more grief just to get their software working...the driver download from the Logitech site did the trick! Quality of video and audio is excellent...My original review follows...OK, I just got the Quickcam Pro 9000 in this afternoon so perhaps a lame rating at this point is not fair, however, this is the first software I have attempted to load on my Windows Vista 64 Home Premium that simply would not even install. The error code "1719" problem appeared for the very first time so I must say that I am less than pleased that I cannot even get to square one without going into the registry and changing who knows what...I just feel that this darn thing should work without all the problems...sorry, call it skill level, a slow operator or whatever, however, the bottom line is, when I install a new program, I just am not interested in rebuilding the wheel to get the darn thing to work. Yes, I have gone into several forums and read about the same problem but the fixes are all over the board...I did expect some software related problems when I got this HP computer with Vista Home Premium / 64 bit, however, this is actually the first time I have had this issue and I have installed several programs with absolutely no problems. I would welcome any comments but I really hesitate to get into the registry to get my computer to sync with this program when others are working perfectly. Now, please do not let my review influence your decision to buy this product as I have not yet done my homework nor contacted Logitech to get the problem resolved...and, point being, why should any of us have to go through all these activities to get things up and running? Comments would be welcome. I will come back and admit my lame skill level if someone can suggest a simple fix...otherwise this camera will be sent back before the sun sets tomorrow!Get more detail about Logitech Webcam Pro 9000.
