Default I am not able to use iSight on XP?

Hello there,

I have installed Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 using Boot Camp. It's working fine. I inserted my Mac OS X DVD 1 in order to install drivers and they all were installed, but the camera does not want to work. It only works when I am using Windows Live Messenger CAMERA CHAT for instance. It gives me this error when ever I try using it to capture a picture



I do not know what to do about this situation. I searched Apple.com but did not find any Boot Camp drivers, I also used Google but came up with only one website that let me download its XP drivers. I did and that's what they look like



So I tried going to Device Manager, choosing the iSight (which is called USB Video Device, under the Imaging Devices tab and it is READ by Windows, not giving the yellow question mark thing) and clicking on Update Driver then browsing for the iSight drivers folder but still..nothing.

Any ideas on what to do in this situation? And oh, about the error, the camera is not being used by ANY other application as it has been giving this error since day one. Works fine on Macintosh though.

Thank you in advance .

Tarek.

Actually, I can use OSX drivers on Windows. It was working fine before on Windows Vista and XP Media Center Edition (and many previous versions) but I had to reinstall and now it does that. It's weird.
