Adding a USB camera to Windows XP creates Local Area Connection 2

[manduck]

When I install my webcam, it automatically adds another LAN connection called "Microsoft TV\Video connection".
It then disables my internet access.
I tried rebooting afterwards and the connection does disapppear, but my internet doesn't work. I have tried to reinstall my broadband software but it cannot detect the network card. The only way to get my internet connection back is to do a restore.

can anyone help???

manduck,

When you install your webcam, what happens to your Local Area Connection(#1) in Network Connections? Does it disappear or just show disabled?
