2 Identical Webcams

Hi, I've just bought 2 identical webcams for my XP machine.
I need to see both webcams at the same time.

When I run Amcap, It only sees one webcam.

If I plug in 2 different webcams, I can run 2 copies of Amcap and see both
webcams.

Any ideas how or why XP sees the identical cams as 'one' and is there a work
around for this?

Thanks
 
What webcam software?
Can you install a 2nd copy of the program somewhere besides Program Files?
 
I was just using the Amcap software with it. I can run 2 copies of Amcap and
it works fine with different webcams.

When I use identical ones (sweex minicams) I only see one camera listed on
the pull down list.
 
So, if you install the software that came with the cams, into two different
locations, does it see two cameras, then?
