BLUE SCREEN of death - solution

I think I found a problem to the infamous Blue Screen of Death problem that many of us XP users (particularly Dell laptop users) are having...the problem that happens when you take a photo on your iPhone, plug it in, and it gets recognized as a "Digital Still Camera" and then boom! BSOD. Sound familiar?

Go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs

Find the Logitech Camera Driver and uninstall it.

This did the trick for me. Finally -- I had tried all kinds of other things. After I did this, the iPhone still got recognized as a "Digital Still Camera," but no BSOD. What happened instead was that another balloon popped up that said "Your hardware is installed and ready to be used." It then synced with iTunes as usual.

The next time I took a picture on my iPhone and plugged it in, it brought up a list of Camera/Photo programs (Canon Capture, Picasa, etc.) for me to choose from, but again, no problems with syncing to iTunes.

Hope this helps. This work for anyone else?

🙂 I wouldn't pay any attention to posts like that if I were you. At any rate, I run my iPhone on Vista and I have no problems what so ever. I would say that the problem is with the drivers for said devices such as the logitech camera. I personally would take it up with logitech and ask when/if they are going to produce a driver that is compatible with running the iPhone on a windows system, rather that be windows vista or xp. Obviously logitech don't have to do that, so some individuals might have to make a choice as to what device they want to use more.

I know you're not the original poster, but I thought this would be a good place to jump in at. If you're not having difficulties, sorry you had to read through all this. 🙂
