I had a webcam installed in usb1(webcam), when I unplug and plug in to usb2,
it recongise as a new device. hence i got 'webcam #2'. I uninstall 'webcam
#2' from usb2 and plug it back to usb1 but it does not show as 'webcam',
instead, I get 'webcam #2' again using the usb1. I tried all others usb port,
but seem that all port gave me 'webcam #2'. Seem like my previous 'webcam' is
'lost'

How to get it back and remove 'webcam', uninstall doesnt help.

This is the major draw-back of the Plug and Play (Pray) system in
Windows XP. The problem is "really" with the poorly written driver.
As far as I know, your can not "easily" revert back to webcam. Webcam
#2 "seems" to the default setting now for your system.
