While using Skype, I cannot get my MBP to recognize the iSight cam within the Bootcamp environment. Has anyone else run into this issue and resolved it????

Bootcamp is beta software and as yet Apple has not provided a driver for the isight camera within Windows XP. For this reason you cannot use the isight when in XP. Expect a driver sometime in the (relatively) near future.

Just tried it; I had no updates available for my XP install, and my iSight in my iMac does not work. While it used to give a BSOD, it now just crashes explorer, and relaunches it
