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.

hi, im recently new to this, but i have bought a laptop its an Asus pro 50 series i think the model is 50RL its processor , is Duo T2330 and i recently had a virus on my laptop, so i had to reformat it, but for some reason, my webcam doesnt work, and i was wondering if you could help please.

Whatever you used to reformat etc. likely did not have or install the webcam
drivers. You may need to obtain the drivers from Asus if they are not on
Asus supplied media that came with your laptop. Unfortunately, many OEMs get
a bit sloppy with supplying webcam drivers and media. My year old HP laptop
came with drivers that were not compatable with many webcam applications,
and only enough application software to prove the webcam hardware
functioned.
