Best thing is contact Logitech, they may already have a fix for this problem (and it is Logitech's - it's not Dell or Microsoft).

Hi,

It may be just a coincidence that you got the BSOD while installing the Logitech drivers as the STOP error 0x0000008E discusses Memory issues. As seen on the forum, there are new systems that come up with this error as the cards are not seated correctly in their slots. Just reseating the memory cards should help...

I vaguely remember how to get more detailed info from XP relating to the dump.. I could look at doing this (install symbols, debugger etc).

Called logitech. They answered real quick, but mostly just did searches against the FAQ. Suspicions of dual core issue, but once I mentioned Media Center Edition they stated this is currently not supported, there is a problem, and I should keep an eye out for new drivers ....

Also seems all the webcams have the qc950enu.exe drivers. At least I can use the webcam by just renaming the lvckap.sys file, but I need to check audio quality -- I think this aids in echo cancellation (probably by examining the sound the audio card is pumping out the speakers - hence why it's a filter).. so wonder if rather than MCE we could have a compatability problem with Creative Audoligy software?

In fact searching on google suggests it could indeed be audigy at fault... lots of reports of other filter drivers failing?

I'll check versions tonight & checkout the creative website (presumably it's ok to try) or try disabling "whatever the extra creative stuff over and above basic sound card support"
Frustrating.

Be careful with the Retail SoundBlaster drivers.  The SoundBlasters that Dell supplies is a custom version made only for Dell and needs Dell drivers for some of the extra features (and some of the Retail features are not in the Dell OEM Version cards/modules).

With most Dell OEM SoundBlaster sound cards/modules if you try to install the Retail drivers the driver install program will not find a SoundBlaster product.

I had the same issue with Dell 5150 and Logitech webcam 5000. Logitech, Creative, and Dell's forums ALL have people complaining they don't work together and ALL 3 vendors are pointing fingers at each other. As usual, Dell recommended I do a PC restore (the default answer when nothing else works) on my new E510 (Dimension 5150) that is less than two weeks old. When I threw a fit, the best solution a Dell Rep could give me was to send my camera back and get a Creative Labs camera. I am going to try that and see if it works any better. Apparently no one at any of the sites seems to care about this issue, I guess once you have bought the product, it becomes YOUR problem, not the vendor's problem.
