Mixed Thoughts Here!

OK, plug & play with NO conflicts using Windows XP. Now lets talk Windows Vista Home Premium....Or maybe we should NOT? Which conflict to begin with. Let me just take 45 days of fighting this thing down to the bottom lines. EVERY consumer will have a different problem or solution or success/failure. Why? Simple, everyone has their computer set up with different configurations & hardware etc.
MY long story short, if on a chat site like say VideoFrog, all I had to do to cause a complete FREEZE of not only my cam but my entire system (requiring me to literally UNPLUG THE COMPUTER!), was to simply plug my cam into any USB port. Can you imagine the frustration? Customer support (at MY expense on long phone calls) were in every single case, never resolved. EVERY phone call was going to be returned. How many were? NONE!!!!!!!!! Logitech has become a company of ghosts. Sad because they always treated me so well in past years.
After having this camera for a few months I notice something else. Using the auto focus seems to cause a LOT of blurriness so I just set it to manual focus and get my best picture. The free software with all the face accessories are just a blast at first but now only use them if I look like crap on that day & want to "mask" my ugly day look. Sounds funny but trust me, sometimes it's best to just not let people see you....

How did I finally resolve MY problem? I had to disconnect my Buffalo Wireless Network Router. That is all I needed to do. Go figure. Almost 2 months of being run around in circles. Best of luck to those who like ME, assumed everyone with any config problems was just an idiot...
So how does this thing work IF you get it to work? Stellar except you need to keep your sound turned WAY down on your mic or you will broadcast the most revolting over modulation you can imagine! Picture? Amazing. Of course, NOW, everyone can see how red my face is after all the cussing, screaming & yelling I did to get this cam to work with Windows Vista.....

***** Please note the ONLY reason I do NOT recommend this cam to others is the fear they may not be able to work out the config issues on their own. And I KNOW Logitech wouldn't help me with mine!

Jan 23 2009 UPDATE:
  I have installed Windows 7 on several of my computers and have discover NO more conflict issues with this camera. I also have no more issues since Windows Vista did their last Service Pack updates as well. As a result, I am raising my rating to 4 stars and will recommend it to others. Just be aware it has a very real possibility to make life miserable for you IF you are not tech savvy and IF you have a system not updated or have a configuration alien to it's drivers?
