I have a "Max-I-Swann USB 2.0 Webcam". I have just installed Windows Vista 7 times because the webcam driver doesn't work with vista. When i run microsoft update there is an update for the webcam. As soon a you install the update things go wrong. You can't shutdown the computer anymore and numerous times you get the BLUE screen of death (about EVERY 10 mins).

EVEN if you uninstall the update i still keep getting the blue screen of death. I just installed vista so i don't currently have the update installed. I just installed the driver off the disc but the camera doesn't work SINCE the driver is for xp. So i cant use my webcam without the update. when i got the update it worked but the blue screen of death CONTINUES. How can i get the update to work without it crashing my comp. all the time?Have you tried visiting the manufacturer's website for a driver for your operating system?Give this driver a try...
