The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Logitech QuickCam loops forever when searching for updates, creates 1000s of lulnchr processes

Asked by rosest in Computer Web Cameras, Windows Vista

Tags: Logitech Webcam, Logitech QuickCam

I was running Logitech QuickCam 11.9 with my Pro 9000 webcam and it was working fine. In trouble shooting another problem I had to uninstall it. After correcting the problem, I then reinstalled QuickCam but all that is available is 11.8.1065.0000. What it is supposed to do is check for updates and update itself to 11.9. The problem now is that when QuickCam searches for updates (for example, to get 11.9), the system goes into a loop creating 1000s of processes, each running lulnchr.exe. The only way to stop the loop is to force a shutdown with the power button. I have tried uninstalling QuickCam. doing a clean boot and reinstalling 11.8 several times, but it fails this way every time. I have turned off my NIS 2009 AV/firewall, but that makes no difference. What is wierd is that other than not being able to update, QuickCam is running OK with Skype and Windows Live Messenger. It periodically checks for updates and then I have to force a shutdown. I have a suspicion that the problem comes from having downgraded the version, some small piece of 11.9 was not removed and is interactng with 11.8. That is just a guess. Any ideas?

Some other configuration information is:

-Vista Ultimate 32, SP1
-Asus P5E Deluxe
-3 GHz Core 2 Duo E8400
-4 GBytes RAM
-ATI Radeon 2600 HD
-Creative Xi-Fi Platinum
-Sata and IDE disk drives (many GBs of free disk space)
-NIS 2009

Thanks,
Stan
