I have the same exact problem you're having. I also have a QuickCam
Pro 4000, but this problem began way after I had installed the camera
and drivers. I even tried a repair install of WinXP to no avail.
If you manage to find a solution to this, please let me know. I'd be
most appreciative. Thanks. I've been searching google for over a
month now, and although there are a few people with the same problem,
no solutions have been posted that I can see. I'll try uninstalling
and reinstalling the QuickCam 4000 Pro drivers, but somehow I don't
think that's going to do it.
