Hi,

I saw a lot of trouble on the boards with Windows 8 installations but I didn't see any solutions (at least any clearly marked ones--if this has been posted before, my apologies).  I didn't have any trouble setting up Logitech Webcam software for my C910 or SetPoint for my MX Revolution following these steps:

1)  download installer for desired driver to desktop

2)  right-click installer and select "Properties"

3)  go to the "Compatibility" tab

4)  check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"

5)  select "Windows 7" in the dropdown box

6)  click Apply

7)  right-click installer and select "Run as Administrator"

8)  approve any Windows security alerts

Driver should install as normal at this point.

Hope this helps everyone.  I have no idea if installing this way will help with the other driver issues people are experiencing.

^^D

From our getting started FAQ:

Q. Another forum user posted a workaround/hack/tweak that enables older products to work with a non-supported operating system. Should I give this a try?

A. Logitech does not endorse or approve non-Logitech posted workarounds, and that Logitech does not advise trying said workarounds. Although a workaround may work with a limited number of system configurations, it may not work for all users and may cause instability or other technical issues.
Using any non-Logitech workaround or hack is at the individual user's own risk. Please see the “Disclaimers” section in the Terms of Use document for more information.

Please note that for the purposes of this discussion (and of this forum in general), non-supported means that if you install a driver on non-supported operating systems, Logitech will not be able to assist you in the event that your system becomes unstable or non-functional.
