ISight stopped working with windows messenger (bootcamp/parallels)

A few days ago I installed windows xp pro via bootcamp. After installing the drivers and everything, windows messenger was great with the iSight and everything. Just today I installed parallels, and after opening windows i no longer have a "webcam" installed, and i noticed that even my "speaker" and "Microphone" settings have gone back to "Intel(r) Integrated Audio"
Any ideas how i could get this working again? The audio actually works, but I just need windows to find my iSight again...

Hi,
Parallels is not an application I have so I can not test this further.
I would think the answer may lie in the BootCamp forum where people may have tried the same thing as you or at any Parallels Forum you can find.

  • DVD optical drive no longer works with Windows under bootcamp or parallels

    For some strange reason, the DVD optical drive- Optiarc 5680 on my 27" iMac, no longer works anymore with Windows under Parallels or Bootcamp. It used to work perfectly fine before, but now it just shows up with a yellow exclamation mark under Device Manager and Code 39 "Windows cannot load the device driver..."
    The DVD drive continues to still work fine with OSX. But it won't work anymore under Windows via Parallels or bootcamp, despite trying to uninstall the optical device drivers, update, reinstall, etc. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas?

    Finally found the solution for anybody else who runs into this problem. It was solved by doing a registry mod in Windows from this site:
    http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
    described in “My CD drives have vanished (from Explorer, Device Manager, etc.)”
    After applying the registry changes the DVD optical drive worked instantly again with Windows....sigh...guess I can't blame the Mac on this one.

  • T510 Mouse and Keyboard stops working with Windows Update - unable to roll back, happened twice

    My mouse has been working fine for a while but it stopped working followed by the keyboard, I put it down to a Windows update but because Windows 7 keeps bluescreening on a restore point I couldn't recover.  I contacted Lenovo got the rebuild disc for my machine, completely rebuilt it, all working fine, then after 2 days same issue, mouse stopped, keyboard stopped, restore points make no difference.  Does anyone know what windows update is causing this and if there is a fix aside from rebuilding, I can't keep doing this and I need to understand the cause really, not had it with a laptop before.  Gone back to using my old laptop until I can get it sorted.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    I installed the latest drivers via windows update and got the touchpad back, rebooted, it went again.  Netiher the trackpoint or touchpad work.  I then thought rather than focus on drivers check the bios.  I disabled the trackpoint in the bios, still neither works, however if I disable the touchpad in the bios and enable the trackpoint, the trackpoint does consistently work.  I can't explain why the touchpad worked after a touchpad update but now fails, the ultranav driver is installed but if both are enabled in the bios it say it isn't installed, if the trackpoint is enabled it tells me I need to enable both so it clearly knows it's there.  What's curious is that this doesn't happen on the complete clean IBM build.  I can't not turn off windows updates, I'm a developer so Ioad the laptops up with a vast variety of software and I need many of the windows update fixes, either way I am surprised they are conflicting with the touchpad so dramatically.  I can't see it being a virus I'm using two layers of protection and if I blow the machine away and installed the updates via an .iso image (so it's never connected to anything else), I can replicate the problem.  It's feasible it's another piece of software causing the conflict.  Any one have any idea what could be going on or seen it before?

  • Web cam stopped working with Windows 7 (but works fine with Ubuntu Live CD).

    Since two days my web cam stopped working. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and I have a Toshiba L505d S5992. It does not show in Device Manager and Windows Update doesn't recognize it, manually I can not install it, so my best guess it was broken.
    But then I tried the LiveDVD of Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) and it recognized immediately my web cam and the blue light came on. I have no clue what happened with Windows 7 but it's getting very frustrating.
    Any help would be very welcome at this point.

    Download the webcam application for your unit from this website.
    Uninstall it on the programs and features then installed the downloaded webcam application.
    Hope this will help you solve the issue.

  • PhotoShop CS2 with Windows - via Bootcamp / Parallels

    Hi All,
    Hope you can help !
    I am thinking of upgrading from G4 powerbook to an Intel MacBook. My main question is this:
    I have a full copy of Photoshop CS2 for windows, will this run sufficently well under either bootcamp / parallels on a MacBook or will I need to upgrade to CS2/3 for MAC ?
    Many thanks
    RH/Nutwood

    I have a full copy of Photoshop CS2 for windows, will this run sufficently well under either bootcamp / parallels
    It will run fine on both of them.
    It will run better using Bootcamp/Windows.

  • Has Photoshop stopped working with Windows 7?

    I just signed up for Adobe's monthly plan. But when I tried to download Photoshop, I got a message that I was using an operating system that Photoshop no longer works with. I'm using Windows 7.  What's going on?

    No problem with Windows 7.  Restart your computer, and run the Desktop Application manager as Administrator, and try again.

  • Printer, CP4025, stopped working with Windows 10 upgrade

    When I did my  Windows 10 upgrade my Printer, CP4025, stopped working. I tried deleteing and added, wouldn't work.So i went back to Windows 7 because I have to be able to print today. But it still will not work. Now it will not add, getting a message saying "the folder you specified doesn't contain driver software for your device".

  • Keyboard not working with Windows 7 Bootcamp

    I am using Window 7 with bootcamp. Its been working fine but for some reason the keyboard doesn't appear to to work as I can't even sign in. I've tried rebooting several times but no joy.

    Did you install the Windows support software? Did you check in Windows sytem to see if the drivers are working? Check the Boot Camp help documnets http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ and visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • Crystal Reports has stopped working with Windows 7 and demo database

    I'm trying to get back up to speed on Crystal Reports after 10 years away. I'm running Crystal Reports 2008 Standard with the just-released Service Pack 3 (same symptom with SP2).
    So I downloaded the demo database and tried creating a new report. No problems creating a simple customer list. When I add the Orders table and link the CustomerID columns and then add the OrderDate column to the report, everything works fine. But as soon as I add the OrderID or OrderDate column, the application crashes.
    Culprit seems to be MSVCR80.dll. Here's the log:

    Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    It may be that something was "fixed" and our default xml file falls out of the Standards now.
    Are you wanting to connect to SQL or XML?
    Go to Microsoft's site and search for C++ distribution and download and install the recommended one for windows 7. It may be that part is corrupt or our installer thinks it is there. Try doing a Repair install and custom options to select all of the DB drivers and exports types to see if that resolves the issue.
    Thank you

  • Why Can't Camera Work with Windows Messenger for Mac and give output video?

    I can see from the other end, but my camera won't come on so they can't see me. I hear them and can type in Messenger, but I'd like to have 2-way video, not just receive.
    My camera works as I use it in Photo Booth, so that's not the problem. I can't find a way to setup the video within Messenger. Don't know if it's problem with Messenger or Leopard.
    Whatever it is, it's very annoying that I can't output video.
    Anyone with similar problem or have the answer? I'd be forever grateful!
    junroe

    Microsoft Messenger doesn't have video support on the Mac version. If you want crossplatform videochat, ask your friends to join AOL Instant Messenger. You can get video chat crossplatform between AOL Instant Messenger for PC & Apple's iChat which supports AOL Instant Messenger screen names. Skype is crossplatform too. An open source program called ophonex supports Microsoft Messenger's Netmeeting protocol for video chat as well. IRC is also crossplatform in videochat though its setup is a bit more complicated with the software known as Ircle for the Mac.

  • HP 6600 ALL IN ONE PRINTER SCANNER STOPPED WORKING WITH WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE

    Upgraded my 2 year old lap top to windows 10 and the HP scanner is unresponsive, printer works fine, reloaded installation CD, nothing, went to HP online and it sends you every where but any fix to this issue

    Hello Stringfield, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing scan issues.  I would like to help.
    I would suggest performing a power reset on the printer.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would then recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Please let me know the results.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • ISight not working with Apple apps but only with Skype and flash....

    Hi guys, don't know why but suddenly my isight stopped working with every apple application, like ichat, imovie and photoboot, but it still works with skype and safari (flash).
    The camera simply doesn't work, the green led stays off.... I tried resetting PRAM, SMC, deleted .plist files, tried new account and everything...
    Maybe the problem is facetime, I uninstalled it by simply dragging it to the trashcan, so I followed a thread here and manually deleted its last files but no luck....
    Please guys help me, I really hope I don't have to FORMAT my mac... sounds so windows to me XD...

  • Itunes stops working with vista

    Has anyone had problems with itunes stopping working with windows vista? I have tried all the upgrades but itunes still stops working when playing songs and videos.

    Tizzy79,
    Your computer is blue screening. This is frequently caused by problems with driver conflicts or a computer virus. Make sure you've scanned your computer for viruses and spyware.
    If that doesn't help, let's capture a minidump of the crash and send it to the Apple engineers to analyze.
    To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties". In the dialog that comes up, select "Advanced System Settings" on the left. In the dialog that comes up, select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
    You need to send that file to our buddy Roy, [email protected] Make sure that you include:
    (1) the mini dump file.
    (2) the link to this thread.
    (3) a one line description of your problem, i.e. "iTunes Blue Screens Vista".
    (4) the username that you're using here in the discussion boards.
    Roy is getting a little swamped with messages and needs to make sure he gets all the information. And if he doesn't get that information, the message is just going to get dropped on the floor.
