Built-in iSight on Parallels Build 3188 Working perfect
After reading so many threads on this topic i decided to write the below simple way as it is working fine with me.
I did try the iSight under all various applications, such is yahoo messenger, MSN Live messenger, Skype and as stand a lone as well well; and it did work perfectly :)
What I have:
My system: MacBook Pro [Core to Due]
Parallels: Parallels Build 3188
VM: Windows XP Professional with SP2
What you will need:
A side of MacBook/Pro and Parallels, you will need the the iSight driver, which yon can download it from here (http://www.maconlysource.com/?p=885) [click on iSight Drivers]
Steps: (for first time selection of Buit-in iSight under VM)
1- Long on to your VM as usual
2- Copy to anywhere on your C drive [windows desktop] the iSight driver you downloaded [Please note that you will need to unzip the file]
3- From Parallel menu on OSX click Devices --> USB --> Built-in iSight
4- Then the Windows hardware wizard will start
5- Under the hardware wizard choose manual installation and browse to the iSigh driver folder location.
6- Click ok and then next
7- The driver will be installed normally
8- You can immediately see the Built-in iSight camera on [My Computer]
OR
Steps: (for people who clicked on iSight under devices in Parallel and skipped the auto hardware wizard)
1- Log on to you VM as usual
2- Copy to anywhere on your C drive [windows desktop] the iSight driver you downloaded [Please note that you will need to unzip the file]
3- From Parallel menu on OSX click Devices --> USB --> Built-in iSight
4- Click Start, and then right click on "My Computer" and Select "Properties"
5- Select "Hardware" and then "Device Manager"
6- Now you will see under uninstalled devices [usually highlighted by a large ? in yellow] the Apple Built-in iSight
7- Right clock on it and select "Update Driver"
8- Browse to the iSigh driver folder location.
9- Click ok and then next
10- The driver will be installed normally
11- You can immediately see the Built-in iSight camera on [My Computer]
Good luck,
Aziz
