Does your built-in iSight cam work on iMac with Intel Duo Core running Windows XP with the BootCamp Beta?

Question

I am thinking of installing the bootcamp for my imac, just for a few operations until I learn my mac (first time user), but I heard that perhaps the built-in iSight cam won't work for me to netmeet with my family on MSN messenger. Right now I'm having problems with AIM video not working on my iMac (my family only have PCs). HELP!

Answer 1

I beleive the iSight will work with MSN on the Windows OS using BootCamp. If you check your configuration, the iSight shows up as a USB device (not that there's an actual USB connector inside your computer, but that the computer sees it as a Universal Serial Bus). So basically, your computer thinks that it is a USB device connected up, and should function properly if the drivers are in place. I haven't downloaded BootCamp because I have no use for Windows.

Edit:

According to this review (http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,126029,00.asp, near the bottom), iSight won't work in Windows using Bootcamp. It is written by a guy from PC world, so he's probably an idiot (j/k), but maybe you could get it to work. Who knows?

Answer 2

I consider Sri Vidya Rajgopalan has given the right reply. But the Answer may be very lengthy. Let me give an explanation for you briefly. Ram developed a Bridge as an alternative of send considering the fact that he concept, if within the battle with Ravana extra navy of Varana is needed then it'll be convenient to carry reinforcement via a Bridge Than to ship send.

Answer 3

iSight is really only supposed to function in iChat. Additionally, MSN messenger for Mac does not have video capabilities.

Answer 4

I saw an article in MacWorld that says iSight will not work on the WindowsXP/Boot Camp.
