The only way to break the loop was to kill the process via a task
manager.
Rebooting the computer did not make any difference.
I had to kill the process, uninstall TBird and reinstall 2.0.0.14 just
to get my email working again.
WinXP Pro SP2, using an admin level login. There were ZERO alerts from
my AV or firewall during any of this, and they are configured to alert
on suspicious activity or if they take any actions on their own.

If you have a Logitech Webcam, disable it. Would help if you quoted mor

No file names were mentioned.
Since the plain re-install of 2.0.0.14 worked, would a plain full
install of 2.0.0.16 over my current setup also work? (with or without
removing 2.0.0.14 first, since the uninstall leaves my data, settings
and extensions in place)
Normally a full install can be done over a prior install. I consider an
exception a case of 1.5.x upgrading to 2.0.0.16, then an uninstall of
the old would be a precautionary.

I think I need to retract that... TBird is now freezing up on me
regularly.
Four times in the past two hours.

So, do you think installing 2.0.0.16 from the full installer over my
current setup will work?
Download new version. Uninstall previous version. Reboot. Install new
version. This worked for me.

This worked for me too.... until a couple days went by and I was asked
to update again. I terminated the Quickcam.exe in System Processes
and the update worked perfectly.

I'll try it with killing quickcam first, thanks.

Shut down your Logitech webcam, do the install, and then restart
the webcam.
