OK, but you don't actually log into your PC as the "Administrator" user to do your day-to-day work, do you? > The whole point is I can't do a reinstall because > as soon as I try the PC freezes up! That's not so good.

There are loads of these, from personal experience I know that Norton Utilities is decent enough (it comes as part of SystemWorks these days, I don't think you can buy it separately any more). Alternatively you could just use regedit to manually search-and-destroy any Creative keys, assuming the webcam is the only Creative hardware you've got. If you feel uncomfortable playing around with this stuff, set a system restore point (Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools IIRC), or save a backup copy of your registry (run regedit, then it's File > Export) first.
