You don't have to use the add/remove components to install anything really. I use it only for uninstallation.
Did you connect your webcam to you computer first? Maybe thats why it does not detect your webcam.
Hello all,
I tried installing an XP PowerToy called "Timershot". (Allows you to take pictures with a webcam at set intervals.)
My webcam was not recognized under Timershot's "devices" and I wasn't able to use the program.
There is also a video snapshot function on XP, (this is separate from the Timershot program). The XP video snapshot worked, allowing me to use the webcam.
*(I also have recently installed the software that came with the webcam, which functions properly.)
-Do I need to do something with the camera's driver?
-When installing this Timershot Powertoy; should "add/remove components", "add remove programs", or neither be used to install it?
Thanks in advance for any input.![]()

Ok, this time I uninstalled Timershot/and deleted all the files associated with it (anything with the name "timershot")/disconnected camera/rebooted/(just) opened Timershot, which installed it/rebooted/connected camera/ran Timershot...Did you connect your webcam to you computer first? Maybe thats why it does not detect your webcam.
...This time the devices drop window actually came down (unlike before), but still no devices recognized.
Then I tried disconnecting camera/running the program first/then re-connected the camera...still the same.![]()
