Don't be so sure that the drivers for the Logitech Qcam did not cause a problem with your sound card.  The camera records sound with the pictures, and may have had a conflict somewhere in there.  I never could get the Qcam to run on my Win Me system.  It froze up the OS completely.  In the end I had to install it on my Win 98 SE desktop.  No matter how many times I installed and/or uninstalled it, it never would run on Win Me.
