Windows 7 driver for FaceTime HD camera

Hi,
I have a Mid 2012 MacBook Air (13-inch) on which I'm running a Windows 7 Pro virtual machine using Oracle's VirtualBox.  That's all working fine but I need to use a webcam for a bit of software that will only run on Windows.
I've been able to share the built-in FaceTime HD camera through to the Windows VM which detects it and tries to install the device, but Windows doesn't have the required drivers.
I've done a few searches but keep coming across instructions for BootCamp (which I'm not using) or pages of random GoogleAds pretending to be links to drivers that dont' actually exist. 
Does anybody know where I can pick up a compatible driver?
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks, I've been checking there too... but I don't have any problem with VirtualBox. 
My problem is that there isn't an obvious (working) driver for 64-bit Windows 7 Pro to use the FaceTime HD Camera that came built in to my MacBook Air 5.2. 
From what I can tell, people running under Parallels have exactly the same problem.  It's an Apple/Microsoft issue, not a VBox or Parallels one.
VBox is able to pass the camera through to the VM and Windows does detect it and attempt to install drivers, but it doesn't find any and can't complete the config. 
Searching Windows Update for drivers gives nothing. 
I've manually extracted and installed AppleiSightInstaller64.exe from the BootCamp update for the MacBook Air 5.2 but Windows doesn't recognise the resulting drivers as valid for this device.  Forcing the device to use them anyway gives an error:
Again, others have reported similar with both Parallels and VBox.

  • Need windows 7 driver for photosmart 720 camera

    I have an HPphotosmart 720 camera and I tried to download a windows 7 driver but it wasn't listed as a choice.  Does anyone know how I can make this upgrade?

    Hi,
    You are talking abot a 12years old camera here. Why do you need driver ? It uses SD card, you can simply pull the card out and put it to a card reader on your computer to do whatever you want. Nowadays, all phones can take photos, thousands of very cheap cameras around.
    Unless vendors want to close their business, I don't think they would spend money to support old products. FYI, I bought a Nikon D50 early 2006, it couldn't read cards over 2GB, I know a firmware will fix it but no news from Nikon. I bought a Nikon D90 early 2010 and today (yes few minutes ago) I've discovered it won't read cards over 32Gb.
    Regards.
    ps I have to buy Nikon to be able to reuse may other accessories.

  • Windows 7 Driver for VFO230

    Windows 7 driver for Creative Live! IM Pro model # VFO230 is needed. I can only find Windows Vista driver online at this time. I used this camera on windows vista service pack 2 but today got a newer computer with windows 7 operating system and would still like to use this camera. I could not locate a beta windows 7 driver for the VFO230 model either. If there is a compatible driver for Windows 7 that will work with camera model # VFO230 please let me know which one it is and where I can obtain it.
    Please and thank you.

    FX400 is not among the notebooks verified to work with Win8 (http://event.msi.com/2012/windows8/index.html). Therefor MSI won't provide any drivers or support for using Win 8 on this computer.

  • Windows 7 driver for 3500 color printer

    I need a windows 7 driver for my 3500 color laserjet printer.  Windows XP is the latest driver listed on the website.

    The latest Vista drivers for this printer on THIS page shows one of the enhancements as supporting Windows 7. So it should install fine. Do notice that this is the v.13 software.
    EDIT: Just downloaded the version 13 software, and tried installing it. It seemed to go through fine, though I don't have the printer physically here. Check the screenshot.

  • How to get the Windows Vista Driver for ATI Radeon 7500 card?

    How to get the Windows Vista Driver for ATI Radeon 7500 card?
    I am using a IBM Thinkpad T42 with a 32Mb ATI Radeon 7500 graphic card AGP.
    Is there any Vista 32-bit driver to update my card so that this system support Aero effect?
    Thank you.

    The Radeon 9000 driver works for the Radeon 7500 card.  I have successfully used it on a T43 with Vista Ultimate x86

    Unfortunately no.  The Radeon 9000 driver should bring your graphics score up to close to 2, but it will not get it high enough to enable Aero support.

    This page indicates the driver is available from Windows Update and there will not be drivers from HP beyond that.

  • Windows XP driver for HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N

    Does anyone know where I can find a Windows XP driver for my pc's HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N? Tried to find on the net and Apple site but no joy.
    Drive works fine in Snow Leopard partition, but for what ever reason Windows has "lost" the driver and as such does not "see" the device.

    typically I used the the disk to run bootcamp utility on disk driectly from windows and this would update drivers. can't do that now because device not working. tried copying bootcamp to usb device but no joy, bootcamp comes up with an error when run that way. not sure if it is a pc error or the way bootcamp is designed i.e. can only run from CD.
    if somebody can tell me the driver file name in bootcamp folder I can try and run that individually.

  • Driver for Facetime Camera on Thunderbolt Display - Win 7 in Bootcamp

    I have  a Thunderbolt display working just fine on a Windows 7 installation using bootcamp on my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro Retina - except the driver for the facetime camera on the display is not installed.  The facetime camera on the Macbook Pro did install.  The bootcamp driver folder on my USB stick created for the install does not seem to include a driver for this.   I have already done a bootcamp driver package reinstall to no avail.  Has anyone gotten this working?  Can you give me the driver details and how you did it if so?
    Thanks.

    Now it has gotten worse. I wish I had documented what I had done, but I think it was after I ran some addtional updates. Can't remember if it was the Office updates or the addtional Win7 updates.
    But now besides the error message when I try to open my virtual machine in Parallels (which I got both before & after running Bootcamp updates), now 2x at least it did not boot into bootcamp but instead showed that there were problems & the fix screen came up. Again.
    I did manage to run the Windows backup on my new WD Passport partitioned back up drive w about 50 GB formatted for Windows & the rest of it for Mac so I can use it w Time Machine.
    It backed up files in libaries & personal folders for all users 1.86 GB
    But I'm hesitant to go ahead & upgrade Parallels 5 to 8 w the purchased update to download & run as well as doing the upgrade Mountain Lion. It does not seem wise to install new or additional software on top of an unstable Windows/Bootcamp set up.
    So wondering my options. I'm guessing that the solution to an unstable Windows OS would be to reinstall it as a clean install. But then the normal thing to do would be to run the updates which took a long time the other day & then messed things up so the track pad wasn't tracking well. Before later causing it to crash.
    Just got word from Parallels suggesting a claen install into Bootcamp.
    But also considering just installing it as a new virtual machine in Parallels & dispensing w Bootcamp.
    I hope this makes some sense. I'm very tired but want to put these questions out there so when I get back to it, hopefully there will be some suggestions/recommendations.
    Thanks.
