Title: Avoid Logitech Webcams!
Post by: theolodian on 15 November 2008, 22:43:41

Nothing wrong with the hardware AFAIK, but the software is absolute pants!  To the point that the frigging thing is near enough useless.  >:(

Mine's OK. What's your specific problem?

In my experience with webcams; Creative software and drivers seem similarly short on stability.....BSOD`s always point back to "Creative Live! Cam Center" or the Creative drivers.
I have the Live Motion (panning/zooming camera): so many promises; so much disappointment! :'(

It hangs up every few minutes, and when it comes back the 'rightlight' setting has gone all dark.  For my parents on the other end it hangs up every few minutes, and changes the microphone to one that isn't there.

Built in one on SWMBO's Dell lappy is perfect, and despite being lower res in theory puts out a much better picture.  :-? >:(
