iSight and BootCamp

August 27, 2006 · 0 comments

Last night I reinstalled my MacBook Pro, elminating the BootCamp partition in the process.

After getting everything setup I fired up iChat today to get ready for a video chat and was surprised that iChat claimed the iSight camera was in use by another application. But no other application was running though.

After a few minutes of troubleshooting I remembered that BootCamp 1.1 updated the driver to allow the iSight to work under Windows XP.

After reinstalling BootCamp 1.1 (even though I wasn’t going to use Windows or Linux) the iSight came back to life.
