If you do not know how to check the registry directly, click Start then Run (or WindowsKey-R) and type "msconfig" and it will show you all the start up entries regardless of where they are. You can disable anything having to do with the camera there, restart, and see if that helps. You can always re-enable stuff too if it causes issues you did not expect. Hopefully this is what you were looking for. I no longer use the camera on my normal PC so I have not dealt much with this issue (i did see it once). Its hooked up to my home controller PC for security purposes so I really never log in to it anymore - everything is running as a service. The trick was to install the lifecam vx-6000 on server 2003 :) It works now but was not easy since MS decided it should not install there.
