The way I had to clean up my quickcam software was to uninstall it. Delete
the files off the hard drive, then go into the registry and clean all
mention of 'Logitech QuickCam'. I believe I also had to clean out all
mention of the QuickCam in the Enum (hardware)section of the registry.
There is also a media section in the systems area that needed cleaning.
Logitechs uninstall unfortunately leaves alot of residual information
behind.
This helped for me, but I am very adept with the windows registry. It is
not a place you want to go and haphazardly start deleting, unless you know
what is safe. Always make a backup, and be careful, a wrong move could
render your operating system unusuable.
