caméra intégrée et windows live messenger

isight camera (macbook) isn't recognised by windows live messenger. can you help me?

You have to do 2 things to get it to work:

1. install Boot Camp drivers in the virtual machines (that's different from installing Windows on a Boot Camp partition). To do this, insert your Leopard DVD, attach it to the virtual machine (Fusion menubar > Virtual Machine > CD/DVD > Connect CD/DVD). Then install Boot Camp drivers. Probably you have to restart Windows after the installation finishes.

2. connect the webcam to the virtual machine - Fusion menubar > Virtual Machine > USB > Connect Apple built-in iSight

Now the integrated iSight webcam should be available.

Is the iSight connected to the Virtual Machine (Virtual Machine > USB > Connect Apple Built-in iSight) and did you install the iSight driver from the Leopard Install Disc 1 or Upgrad Disc and have you checked Windows Device Manager to make sure there are no flags on any of the devices specifically Universaly Serial Bus Controlers and also Imaging Devices? Have to tested to see if the iSight work in Windows Explorex by clicking on Apple Built-in iSight under Scanner and Cameras?

This is a problem. For whatever reason, Apple only choses to distribute Boot Camp drivers with Leopard DVDs. There is no other way to legally get them (well, you could bring your Mac to an Apple store and ask the Genius to borrow a Leopard DVD).

excuse for my bad english!!!

Your English isn't too bad, it's certainly understandable.

If you do not know how to get to Device Manager you can easily type Device Manager after clicking Start > Help and Support.

As far as the iSight drivers being download from the Internet you're on you own because those drives have been illegally posted and thus illegally downloaded much less they may have been modified from the original.

For the same reason that plugging in a random, nonstandard USB device into a physical computer won't work. The guest requires drivers to talk to the device, and even though OS X knows how to do this, it doesn't matter - the guest can't make use of that knowledge. The required drivers are part of Apple's Boot Camp drivers, but Apple has chosen to only make them available on Leopard DVDs.

I have no problem using the Apple Built-in iSight with Windows Live Messenger using the iSight driver installed from the Mac OS X Leopard DVD Install Disc 1 or the Mac OS X Leopard Upgrade DVD. So it does work however you didn't say whether there were and flags showing in Device Manager, did you check as mention in one of my previous reply in this thread?
