Is there anyway to get XP-Home to recognize the presence of the isight camera? > Is there anyway to get XP-Home to recognize the presence of the isight camera? According to this: http://www.isighting.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=401& it says that XP and a Windows machine should work just fine. But connecting it though MacOS X to XP via VPC is questionable. If it works connected to your MacOS X natively, why do you even care about it on XP?  SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO! Dee... Virtual PC does not emulate Firewire, so no, I would not expect it to work with Virtual PC. Thanks for the inforemation but my XP Home does not bring up a generic 1386 device. It only lists manufacturers. My firmware is up to date so I still need a way to have XP find the cam. Is there a location where I can download a generic version for a 1386 device? To answer your inquiry about why I would care. I want to video conference with friends and family using MSN. The MAC version does not allow for video conferencing but the PC version does. > > Is there anyway to get XP-Home to recognize the presence of the isight camera? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > If it works connected to your MacOS X natively, why do you even care > about it on XP? > Thanks for the inforemation but my XP Home does not bring up a generic 1386 > device.

I think your time is better spent looking for a MacOS X application that will do what you want rather than attempting to get the iSight to work on VPC. But that's your call. Someone posted that the iSight is Firewire and that VPC won't talk to it at all. I don't own an iSight, so I can't comment. I don't know the availability of the specs on the device or where you'd get ahold of them in order to write a Windows driver. My guess is that unless you're a hacker hobbist who has access to the iSight technical documentation and can write Windows drivers, you're probably pissing up a hanging rope here. Good luck chuck... SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO! Dee... Installing drivers will do you no good, because VPC doesn't emulate Firewire hardware. It's not going to work. iChat in Tiger supports Jabber. Does anyone know if it's possible to set up a Jabber conduit to MSN and do video that way? |
