Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 Critical Error
Upon a re-install of the subject program, I encountered one of those
"...has encountered an error and needs to close...".I am running XP Home, SP3 on my Dell Dimension DIM4600. According to the Microsoft support site, the correct driver is "LifeCam2.04.exe". I have installed this version and just about all of the previous ones. I get the same error involving a different file name every time. I have uninstalled completely even removing "LifeCam" and "VX1000" references from the registry in each case. There must be a file left behind in the registry that I can't come up with. I have performed a "clean" boot including only the system files and tried a re-install, but the error persists. I can only find generic fixes that don't work! I am hoping that someone out there is familiar with the files involved with the LifeCam and offer some leads...

What have you been using to edit the registry - RegEdit (Which comes with Windows XP) or some other 3rd Party application? If you're using RegEdit, you're likely NOT getting all the files. To ensure you get ALL the files, I highly recommend the Revo Uninstaller. It not only uninstalls programs, but it also searches your entire hard drive for ANY file that refers to it - EVEN IN THE REGISTRY & removes them so you don't have to. Two more applications worth installing.... * Eusing Free Registry Cleaner * Glary Utilities Best of luck.... Cheers  Pat Cook Denver, Colorado Pat's Cam - http://asmyworldturns.x10hosting.com/webcam/

Cheers Pat Cook Denver, Colorado Pat's Cam -http://asmyworldturns.x10hosting.com/webcam/ I was using RegEdit. I ran Revo Uninstaller as suggested using the "Junk Files Cleaner", but didn't see any webcam references in the scanned list (deleted what was found). Is there another feature of the tool that you are referring to?
