I think the key might lie in WMM crashing. You've reinstalled UVS 8 and the AverMedia drivers, and that doesn't work. Does WMM tell you anything when it crashes?

Try this for a chance:

1) Open control panel
2) Goto Administrative Tools
3) Goto Event Viewer
4) Doubleclick the System view

You should see a list of System-related information popups (white bubbles), warnings (yellow triangles with exclamation points) and errors (red circles with the white X). It should already be organized by date with either the most recent at the top/bottom, if not, click it and it will organize it.

Now, open up WMM and let it crash.

Refresh the event viewer and see if it tells you anything.
