Hello Catalinbiris, Please try the following steps to make iSight running on your VM: 1. Install Boot Camp. 2. Browse to Macintosh HD->Applications->Utilities. 3. Select the "Boot Camp Assistant" icon and push the Action button. After that, select from the menu "Show Package Contents". 4. Go to Contents->Resources and click the DiskImage.dmg to mount it. Then, you should extract drivers: 1. Create a folder on the Vista desktop called drivers. Open mounted CD and copy and paste the exe file found on the disk to the drivers folder on your desktop. 2. Open up Command Prompt by typing cmd in the new Windows Vista search/start bar in the Start Menu. Once open, type cd Desktop\drivers Nothing will happen. Now type "Install Macintosh Drivers for Windows XP.exe" /A /v It will take a second for the security prompt to open and when it does click ok and it will proceed to extract the drivers into the folder on the desktop. After this, you should install iSight: Launch the control panel and get into the device manager. Once you have done this go to sub-category called "Imaging Devices". Hopefully, there is only one item in the list. Right click the item and select "Update Driver Software". Manually install the driver by choosing "Browse My Computer For Driver Software" also tick "Let Me Pick From a List..." and tick "Have Disk". Now navigate to the drivers folder on your desktop and find the inf in the program files\macintosh...drivers\iSight folder. Install the driver. It should work correctly after this. You may need to install it twice or just tweak and play around. Wireless and Bluetooth are supposed to be working on Parallels. Best regards, Xenos
