Started right after installing the TV Tuner. ATI deny all knowledge and it
really isn't so Earth-shattering that I want to open a ticket with
Microsoft. Been there before and it usually ends up not solved despite
dozens of emails back and forth.
I tried uninstalling Lifecam and reinstalling, no effect. Maybe with the
next driver update - if any, it might correct itself.
What annoys me is that the lifetray error, although it goads a prompt every
now and again to update the software, isn't reporting it to Microsoft
automatically, despite my settiungs to that end. I guess it doesn't think
it's important even though it's MSFT's own software.
