Ken and Marco, Thanks for your responses. I'm pretty sure the duplicate DLL warning is superfluous, as both paths point to the same file. As far as a Logitech camera driver is concerned: I have a camera driver, and I have Logitech devices, but I have no Logitech camera. I avoided troubleshooting loaded drivers (even though that tack would seem to be obvious given my success in Safe Mode) because I've no idea how to go about doing it. I've unplugged all of my peripherals and rebooted, but that had no effect. Any advice on the best way to isolate a problematic driver on a Windows 7 system? Is there a way to "dynamically" load and unload drivers from the system without rebooting?
