    I just got my iSight working with Windows XP AND fixed the image quality problem many are having.

    To install the iSight, just plug it in, and cancel out of the "New Hardware Wizard." The camera will show up in My Computer, but will be VERY overexposed.


    Next, download some program that will allow you to fiddle with the incoming video properties. I googled and found:

    But I'm sure there's more out there. Use this program to turn down the brightness, and voila, your iSight will remember the new settings and you get great video even with AIM. Now if only the microphone worked...

      On one of my PCs, this works like a charm, on another, the camera never shows up in the My computer and iCapture never recogonizes. Any clue how to fix this?

      Thanks!
