Is that searching for drivers?

Look in your "Control Panel" folder, for an item called "Scanners and Cameras".
If an image device has a proper driver installed, the device may be registered
and detected in "Scanners and Cameras".

This screenshot shows "Scanners and Cameras" but there's nothing below
it, meaning nothing detected.

When I have tried to uninstall Amcap (from the mini CD I received with
the camera), it goes through the uninstall process but afterwards I go
to the start menu, programs and find it is still there and am able to
launch the program exactly as before! So I decided to resort to using
the add/remove programs feature to finally get rid of it and have
things back to how it was before.

But letting windows hunt for drivers - where it settled on the HP
Basic Starter Camera driver, I try Picasa but that doesn't get any
pictures and nothing in "Control Panel" "Scanners and Cameras".

I tried plugging in the dental camera into a 2nd PC also running
windows XP and this time i did *not* install the Amcap (USBPCCamPlus)
software. I instead decided to just let Windows automatically look for
drivers. In "Control Panel" "Scanners and Cameras" it shows HP Basic
Starter Camera and I got moving pictures! Picasa 3 also gets gets
moving pictures too.

Could the Amcap install have ruined the first computer that even an
uninstall didn't fix?
