| | lifecam vx3000 stops windows from starting I installed Lifecam XV300 on my windows vista laptop last night and everything worked fine. I turned the comp off overnight and when I started it up again this morning, Vista could not start. I got a message saying that Windows would search for a solution to the restart problem. After ten minutes, it came back and said it could not fix the problem. It said the problem was caused by a device driver. Well, since the cam is the only thing I've installed on this comp lately, I know that's the problem. It took me forever to figure out how to get Windows to start and one random time it finally did, but now I'm afraid to turn my comp off without figuring out how to fix the driver issue first. Has anyone had this happen to them or know what I should do? Thanks. |

| | RE: lifecam vx3000 stops windows from starting Yes, I downloaded the newer version, but it still didn'twork. So, I decided to just uninstall the whole thing and forget about it, but now I still can't restart Windows properly. I have to try two or three times before it will just randomly decide to start. I'm worried that one of these times it isn't going to start. GRRR... What do I do now? Is there something else besides uninstalling it that I should do to repair my system? Thanks for anyone's help. I really appreciate it.
