hi, good afternoon my name is simon hayter and welcome to another online tutorial today i'm going to be showing you how to install your logitech webcam and err with logitech quickcam software and drivers on your windows 7 32bit or 64bit basically logitech have a bad habit of forcing its customers... it's loyal customers to buy the latest gizmos because they donot

update their drivers to support thelatest version of windows. err in this case windows 7 and 8 do not support, err the quickcam software or drivers but hopefully if you follow this guide you can, err that will be a thing of the past but anyway... let's continue on. now you must ensure you have windows 7 32bit or 64bit 2. you must have 7-zip installed or similar 3. you must have the latest quickcam software

download... somewhere... i've actually gotthat within the description of this video so make sure you download that before following this guide number .4 you must have a certain amount degree of how the registry within windows works reason i mention that is it's not essential but err you can do more damage than good - bare that in mind make sure you follow the guide and ensure you read the disclaimer within the description

you must have a compatible logitech camera this will be a quickcam if you go to the logitech website. lookup support and click downloads for the model of camera and it says quickcam on the download then it is compatible wit the drivers and software number .6 you must have patience um basically windows as you all know can play up

i've tried to make this guide as easy as possible however you may need to go back and forth, if i'm not very clear i do apologize if i stutter at times but anyway lets move on and move to the actual tutorial itself. so you should of downloaded the latest quick time, err somewhere to your desktop or anywhere you have quick access to in this case i have made a folder calledquickcam install

on the desktop and saved the file in there now you should of installed some software called 7-zip or have something similar installed which will allow you to decompress the logitech installer because what we'll be doing is we won'tbe installed the quickcam the way i logitech intended you to install partly because it's not compatible withwindows seven or they will lead you to believe it's notcompatible but their software actually has checksto prevent it

working, well installing so actually were going to bypass that feature, so lets not waste any more time so click the installer right click sorry, 'extract to'... so 7-zip - extract to... and basically that has extracted the installer now if you do not want the quickcam software, erm you can just install the drivers and i'll show you how to do that now, so you go to control panel

click system, click device manager find your device in this case it's coming up as unknown device update driver software browse my computer for driver software and basically the folder you want is drivers bin, x64 and pro464 and just click ok and what that would do is it willinstall

the the drivers for your webcam if it doesn't then by all means try the other folders but normallythe pro464 folder will work em if you do... basically if you use skype and all these other online software which your use a webcam they normally have their own controlsoftware built in so your only normally need the drivers to operate in skype if it if the camera is a fancy cameralike this sphere

or the mp.. like which has where its got facial tracking software and stuff like that you may need the quickcam software to take advantage of that so i'm actually going to cancel out of that. so if you only need the drivers you're practically done and if you wantto see how to install the quickcam software and actually get running were continue on... so here is the extracted the folder once again, were go into the the quickcam software err quickcam folder, x64

um... this is windows 64, so if you got windows 32bit it'll be a win32 folder exactly the same method of installing so let's double click quickcam i accept the terms of the license agreement click install and give that a few moments and it should install for us click yes ok! you can see there logitech quickcam

folder, tut icon even... sorry about the speed its actually cuz i'm actually running this in a windowsvmware at the moment, i've installed this on my laptop but actually recording this videoon my windows 8 computer and running this as a vmware... which is exactly the same your not gonna notice any difference... now that's all installed it'll install the drivers as well for you so you don't need to go through the manual process

now the problem arises when double click here this program is blocked due to compatibility issues now this is because the quickcamsoftware is checking, err well it's microsoft doing the blocking of the software.... now i'm actuallygonna teach you how to avoid these messages on all typesof software so the first thing you need to do is go to the start bar type 'regedit'..... yes head over, err click local machine

click software policies, microsoft windows... let's make that a little bit bigger so we can see what's going on now if you don't have a folder called appcompat you need to create it. so in this case we basically need to create that so we go new... so right click windows, click new click key, let's type 'app' capital a on the app

capital c on the compact and press enter ok! now... we need to make a new string value, err sorry dword 32-bit value, were gonna name it 'disableengine' click away double click it and make sure it's on hex and the value is set to 1 what that's gonna do is its gonna

disable the microsoft checks to see if the software is compatible now, as a bit of a disclaimer 'heh' you need, when you set this value you do need to make sure that thesoftware you installing will run on your windows if not... you can actually damage your windows so make sure you do have some backups 2-hand, this software will work but obviously as part of the disclaimer, follow this video at your own risk

so now that we have saved, that's now basically automatically saved. we close that... obviously if we click that we still get the message as we need too restart windows, so let's restart windows as you can see a bit funky going on that's because as i said earlier i am running this invmware and you can see the backdrop for my other desktop ok... let's see if that's worked now... still loading i think...zzzzzz sorry about this... it's err...

taking it's time... and i can see now that the logitech quickcam software is running and there you go! it does, err it loads up automatically err the quickcam software so i didn't actually need to click it now if you don't do that registry err 'edit' um you're get that message come up as you load windows so i'll actually close that now, and actually show you that.. um - let's exit out of there...

and if i double click you'll see... there you go! the software runs and it does work, i've been using this for several months now onmy laptop because i've got an older quickcam camera err webcam even and i've got windows 7 and it wouldn't work... until i came up with this... anyway i hope it's been helpful ifyou've got any questions, concerns or any problems
