I had a logitech quick cam and didn't like it so I decided to upgrade. I went with a microsoft lifecam. Anyway I can't get rid of the old logitech software. Well I got rid of the stuff that I could in add/remove but there's still some crap hanging around. I've tried deleting it that doesn't work. I'm really stumped here I can't use my new camera till I get rid of this junk. I also tried going thorugh Logitech's website but I need all the info about the model I had, and I don't have any of it anymore.

Any suggestions?

 

use regedit.
be sure to backup registry
search for any reference to the logitech camera.
delete references.
reboot.
should be gone

msconfig.
make sure there's no reference to the logitech in the startup.

 

I've tried regedit 3 times and deleted the logitech item 3 times and it keeps poping back up. F***K this is annoying.

 

The only choices are a good registry editor, a system reload, or trying to find all the files and manually deleting them....but a reload is probably in your future...

 

it keeps coming back?.. it shouldnt. doesnt make sense why it would.

 

You mean reloading windows? Sorry probably a stupid question.

 

yeh, a full windows system restore.


if its that problematic, then you may have to..

 

It could be partially uninstalled, and due to the nature of the software, trying to reinstall everytime he reboots. I've seen this happen countless times, not to mention its entirely possible that he has spyware/adware.


The only stupid question is the one you dont ask. There's nothing wrong with asking something you arent sure about or dont understand. I'd rather you asked then didnt ask and wound up trying to do something that only makes it worse.

A system reload may indeed be the only thing you can do to truly get rid of the software. It sucks and it can be a pain, but if you have the right people and software, can be done rather easily.

One question however, are you leaving your webcam plugged in while rebooting?

 

When I had something like this happen, I just went through and manually deleted everything and it was all good... use the search option.

 

I can't delete these 2 files. They are the only 2 left what do I doÉ
