Vista Error: “Logitech LVPrcSrv Module. has stopped working” Fix

Whenever I use remote desktop to connect to a computer running Windows Vista SP1 with a Logitech QuickCam Chat I get an error that reads:

Logitech LVPrcSrv Module. has stopped working

Updating drivers and searching for a fix proved fruitless until Microsoft’s built in solution software came to the rescue. A little pop-up suggested this fix:

Follow these steps to solve the problem with QuickCam (LVPrcSrv.exe)

This problem was caused by QuickCam (LVPrcSrv.exe), which was created by Logitec Corporation.

Solution

One way to help ensure that QuickCam (LVPrcSrv.exe) will run is to set its compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). To do this:

  1. Close QuickCam (LVPrcSrv.exe).
  2. Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then right-click QuickCam (LVPrcSrv.exe).
  3. Click Properties, and then click the Compatibility tab.
  4. Under Compatibility mode, select the Run this program in compatibility mode for check box, select Windows XP (Service Pack 2), and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    Restart QuickCam (LVPrcSrv.exe).

I’ve applied the fix and it works. No more crashes for now.
