Hardware - May 2007

I am re-connecting a web camera to a new computer. However the web camera hasnt been used for a year hence i dont have a cd with the driver for it and the camera does not have a name on it.

Is there a website or a program i can use/run to help me determine what company made the web camera so i can download a driver for it?

I have a 98 gateway that use to have windows 98 installed in it. I payed someone to install XP. Now I have a bad virus and cant do a system restore. My friend bought a gateway lap top last year with XP and she got 4 XP disks with it for a reboot or somthing. Can I use them for my gateway tower?

I have a compaq laptop about 2 years old, 1 gig RAM and 64 megs of integrated video memory on a nVidia GeForce4 440 video card. I just added a second monitor, 22" Acer (very nice!), and I use it as a dual monitor display. I noticed my computer runs more slowly in terms of opening programs like photoshop etc. Is there anything I can do to speed up my computer to how it was before, without losing my new dual-screen setup?

When sometimes I close the lid to hibernate, my laptop would restart and some message of "unexpected shutdown" appears. It had occured several times. It's a new laptop and I checked there is no virus at all.
Can someone tell me what is going on?
Much appreciated.

My old PC currently has 64MB of RAM, in the form of two 32MB DIMM SDRAM cards. There are only two slots for RAM on the motherboard.

Would there be any problem if I changed the two 32MB cards for two 64MB ones, to give me the 128MB needed to run Windows XP properly?

Could I go even higher? Two 128MB cards to give 256MB RAM for example? I don't know the limit my (Purchased in 1998) motherboard has on RAM but I assume it wouldn't like any more than 256MB.

Help on this matter would be greatly appreciated, as my poor Student budget doesn't give much leeway for mistakes :)
