Comment:

I have recently installed but then uninstalled different video codecs (Nimo, etc.) because it was bugging my Windows Media Player.
But now I have the following problem:
When I use my Webcam (Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000), I cannot record video or use the Motion Detector (with the video recording option). I still can record picture snapshop, but for video, I got the "HVideoS.exe has generated errors and Windows will close it" error, even after uninstalling and re-installing that software.

My guess is that it's not that software that is in fault but some video driver in Windows. But I am still able to use Windows Media Player to read video...

So what's the problem!!!
Let me know if you got the slightest idea!
Thanks!

I had the exact same issue, and then I learned how to solve it...simply download this patch. It solved it for me instantly.

Thx Neil!

I am currently running Windows 2000 SP3 DirectX 9.0b and encountered same "HVideoS.exe" error. After link posted by Neil, video problem fixed! Thing is they mention that the download is for "Windows® XP Service Pack 1 Patch for Quickcams". So, use at own risk..
