Logitech webcam not working on Windows 7

Greetings 👋

I picked up this Logitech QuickCam Express about a decade ago.

Suddenly, after being perfectly fine, it just stopped working a week ago. 😢

I did a little digging online, and honestly, I see plenty of people tearing Logitech a new one. The consensus seems to be that they're doing this on purpose—intentionally breaking compatibility just to force us to upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft Windows and shell out cash for a new camera.

Do you think there's any truth to that theory, or is there perhaps some sort of workaround I haven't considered yet?

There are two different versions of Webcam Express out there. One includes a driver specifically for Windows 7, while the other doesn't. If you're interested, go ahead and grab it—just make sure you check whether you're running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows first. 😉
