I tried to start my webcam and it gives me a message that says: 'LiveCam.exe. has stopped working. "I checked and it is said that it works correctly.  I also looked and found something that seems to say that the app crashed.  Any ideas?   Thank you

Hi BartMorgan,

·         What is the error correct mrssage?

·         Is - this "LiveCam.exe has stopped working" or "LifeCam.exe has stopped working"?

Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

Method 1: I suggest you put your system to boot (in normal mode) to solve the problem.

c. right-click on the webcam is installed.

d. in the dropdown menu, click Uninstall or Remove.

e. in the dialog box to confirm the device removal, click the OK button.

Step 2: Also verify and uninstall the webcam again from programs and features program, if it is installed and then restart the computer.
