Logitech QuickCam 9000/QuickCam 11.8.0

Just got my new Quickam Pro 9000; though both the camera and microphone
work perfectly with Skype, the included software (QuickCam 11.8.0)
doesn't start and doesn't work.

When I install the camera, it works fine up until it asks me to plug in
the camera. At this point, Windows cuts in and says that the installer
has stopped working, and then suggests that it should complete the
installation itself. If I ignore that and continue, the installation
tells me it has completed successfully. If I do both, the installation
tells me it has completed successfully.

However, it must be lying because clicking on the Quickam software link
just brings up the Windows error message "*Quickcam.exe has stopped
working*" etc. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, clean
reinstalling, repairing - nothing works. I can install the drivers
separately (through Device Manager) but almost all the features of the
camera are tied into the QuickCam software.

I'm sure there -are- people with x64 that have made this work, but all
it's doing for me is pushing me closer to murderous-rampage-o'-clock. If
you're one of them and recognise the symptoms, or indeed any part of
this issue...

Help!
