Installing a camera

I just installed a camera to my PC, and when I go to finish the install, it is giving me an error: Cannot find the file "C:\Program'(or one of its componenets)

What does that mean? I have a little knowledge about computers, but this is really fustrating me. I am trying to install the camera so that my husband in Iraq can see our kids.

Any help here would be WONDERFUL

Nacol,

Unfortunately, this is not probably an easy problem to figure out =
without having some decent knowledge of the Windows Registry. Though =
partly the fault of the cameras software (for not taking this =
possibility into account), the most likely cause is a poorly constructed =
entry in the Registry where "C:\Program Files\{something, something"} =
has not been enclosed in double-quotes. The command interpreter, when =
looking at a pathname, figures that the pathname ends at the first space =
it encounters. Enclosing it in double-quotes forces the command =
interpreter to read all the way to the closing quote.

In simpler terms, the program's installer asked the Registry for a =
location, the Registry told it to use C:\Program Files\{something, =
something}but the installer stopped reading after C:\Program.

Do you have a name for this camera? Make and Model? There may be some =
documentation available that would let us zoom in on just where the =
problem is located, or there may actually be specific instructions for =
what to do when this happens.

Mr. Terhune:

Thank you for responding to me. After 2 full days of messing around with the computer, and going in between Microsoft and Logitechs' websites, I finally got the camera installed. I had to reinstall a program.

Again... thank you!
