Assuming it is a USB webcam.......
Did you at anytime disconnect it whilst "live"?
Do you have any other USB devices suffering problems?
Have you tried it via another USB port?
Have you checked Device Manager?
(Universal Serial Bus Controllers)
What exactly does the error message(s) report?

Could it be a software issue? What software/IM etc?

Your claim of "system restore won't restore" indicates
you are doing something wrong, you would have
received a specific onscreen error?
Be specific to what you are doing and error messages.

Exactly how are you trying to uninstall?

Have you tried the mysterious Webcam manufacturers
website for known issues/patches/updates?

This is the only article I found for issues with installshield
and possible faulty hardware.
