I have a Quickcam Deluxe for Notebooks, and downloaded the latest software from the Logitech website...
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/support_downloads/downloads/
...then you right-click on the install file... and select \"Troubleshoot Compatibility\", click 'Next', it goes into 'Detecting issues' for a while...
...then it displays \"What problems did you notice\"... and 'The program worked in earlier versions...' is checked.
That's all I needed, and clicked 'Next'... and it displays 'What version of Windows...', I clicked Vista, and 'Next'...
...it displays a summary and tells you to click 'Next' to try running with the settings.
After I finished that installation... my Quickcam worked fine, except... when I went to play a vid I recorded with the Quickcam software, and a small version of Windows Media Player popped up and tried to play the new vid.
WinMediaPlayer hard locked and I had to hold power off for 6 secs to shutdown. An anomaly with my system, may not be present on yours.
I'm going to re-install Skype the same way (Troubleshoot Compatibility), and then (maybe) when I try to confirm/adjust video settings in Skype's Options... maybe... it won't hard lock there anymore as well.
But Quickcam works fine... so far... maybe I can get WinMediaPlayer to straighten up. I tried to play just a regular Windows sample video and WMP hard locked there... so it's probably not the Quickcam recorded vid that's a problem... for me.
Don't know if this will help anyone, but I just tried to install my Quickcam Communicate STX into Win7 64-bit, successfully, in the end, but with some problems:
1. Downloaded 64-bit drivers for Vista from Logitech site
2. Ran install program in Vista compatibility mode. Ignored warning about known compatibility issues
3. Install program would not recognize device when plugged in. Devices NOT installed correctly. One "unknown device" added to Device Manager.
4. Updated driver for "unknown device" (from Device Manager) browsing all my C:\ drive for drivers.
5. Drivers found and installed.
6. Ran Logitech software (ignoring further compatibility warnings, even when run in Vista compatibility mode) - device configured and working fine.

Well hello fellow Communicate STX owner!
Could you please specify which file you downloaded ? (Was it qc1150_x64.exe?)
If yes, then each step worked fine until step 5.
Where on C:\ did Windows find the driver?
Would you be kind enough to send it to my e-mail? (andi.zimmermann@gmail.com)
[edit] QuickCam-Software says, that my cam is being used by another program. Oo[/edit]
Best regards and tia!

This worked for me. It will work with Skype and Yahoo Messenger.Hi there - I have the exact same camera (free with my new monitor).
I am also running x64bit version of Windows 7 (7137).
I got the camera working by running the qc1150_x64.exe and when it got to the compatibility issues screen I went to my temp directory:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Temp\QuickCam_11.5.0\Drivers
And ran the LgDrvInst.exe file.
It took a while but it seems to be working fine now (only tested MSN Messenger).
Good luck!
