Yes, that is part of the logitech driver. Have you tried running the latest driver/software for you web cam? Have you tried updating to vista sp1?

if you haven't installed it by choice, then you probably don't have it. It is an optional update. You can check by going to your desktop and right clicking on computer (choose properties).

Prefetch is clickable for more information

Click start then run, type prefetch then press enter, click edit then select all, (all files will highlight), right click any file, click delete, confirm

Click start then all programmes, accessories, system tools to run disc clean up

Reboot

Click start then all programmes, accessories, system tools to run defragmenter

Download, install and run
Tune Up 2007 Trial

Run Tune Up disc clean up

Run Tune Up registry clean up

Disable the anti virus programme then click Optimize and Improve to run Reg Defrag, the screen will lose colour during the process which can take a few minutes and then needs a reboot

Check the anti virus programme is running

Those will have cleared the drive of obsolete software errors

These are suggestions for making the most of the free trial

Click optimize and improve then system optimizer to optimize the computer, select computer with an internet connection from the drop down menu, this also requires a reboot

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to accelerate downloads, select the speed just above your actual connection speed, this requires a reboot.

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to run system advisor

I would install the first optional update and then reboot. Go back and see what other updates are available. IF it is still not showing up, then you have some driver that needs to be updated before vista will allow it to be installed.

You can always download it manually (the full package) and install it. If something doesn't work, then you know which driver to update.
