OK, but you don't actually log into your PC as
the "Administrator" user to do your day-to-day work, do you?

That's not so good.
Long shot: is there anything in the event logs?

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 >

save a backup copy of your registry (run
regedit, then it's File > Export) first.
Cheers
