Don't worry Mike, I have the Toucam and I know nothing either, but I'm having fun learning.
You will only need your Lappy for capturing. The Toucam comes with a CD Rom with the program on it. You may need a USB extension lead if you can't get the lappy close to the scope. The standard Toucam lead is about 1200mm long. If your Toucam doesn't come with an 1 1/4" adaptor, you will have to get one. You need it to put the toucam into the focuser.
You already have Registax (good luck, I can't work it out yet) and you will need PhotoShop or similiar for making the pics look pretty. That's it!!
I can't answer whether it will be suitable for your scope, sorry.
