Webcam kills internet functions.

G'day all,

I hope someone can point me in the right direction with this problem.

I am trying to set up a Playstation 2 eyetoy camera on my win98se system. I
have no interest in going online with it, I'm intending to use it for
surveillance purposes. There are plenty of sites where drivers can be obtained
(they're all the same anyway) & the installation goes fine & the camera works
fine, BUT on the next boot of my system, networking drivers are installed for
the camera (this is done by win98se & has nothing to do with the camera
drivers). At this point ALL my Internet software will no longer work with
either winsock errors or if they do connect, all I get is 'cannot find server'.
Uninstalling the drivers doesn't fix the Internet problem, only a restore from a
previous system backup will get things working again.

Anyone got any hints on how to install the drivers WITHOUT network capability?
