iSight Camera Driver working on Windows 7?

Question

iSight Camera Driver working on Windows 7?

Although I have had Windows 7 (64 bit) version running on my late model MacBook Pro using Bootcamp 3.0 since Windows 7 was released, the iSight camera never did work. After installing Bootcamp 3.1 update I still have no working iSight Camera. Can anyone validate if you have a working iSight on Windows 7 (64 bit) and what the iSight driver version is. Mine still shows 2.0.1.0 (10/25/2007) regardless of how many times I reinstall the Bootcamp 3.1 update. I've noticed all other Apple bootcamp drivers show versions of 3.0 or higher.

Macbook Pro (late 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.2)

I am in the same boat as you. I run Boot Camp in Snow Leopard on a 2.8D 2008 Mac Pro an can;t get windows 7 to find a driver for the external iSight camera I use for the Mac Pro.

Same here. iSight doesn't work here. Also, microphone (both internal and external) does not work when using it with a VoIP app (including Google Talk, Skype, and Messenger)

I do not use Windows®, but if you get no better help here, the best I have to offer is:

Check iSight with OS X: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090

If all works there, consider Boot Camp/Win7 FAQ & links: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986

Also Boot Camp 3.0, Mac OS X 10.6 FAQ & links: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3777
