Unfortunately my built-in iSight on my iMac won't be recognized in parallels. When I use windows live messenger I can see the person on the other side but my image cannot be seen. The green light indicator is also off... Anybody else having the same problems with this version?

Still won't recognize built-in iSight - rickfdez
The easiest way to get iSight drivers is:1. Download and install latest Apple Boot Camp from http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
2. Browse to Macintosh HD->Applications->Utilities
3. Right-click the "Boot Camp Assistant" and select "Show Package Contents".
4. Go to Contents->Resources and click the DiskImage.dmg to mount it.
5. Find the "Install Macintosh Drivers for Windows XP.exe" and copy inside your VM.
6. Run the file. In a short while, all necessary drivers will be installed. Reboot and enjoy iSight

From what I understand, Parallels supports the camera in principle, but doesn't provide the drivers since they are intellectul property of Apple.Therefore, you must install the BootCamp drivers from Apple in your virtual machine, which should make the camera work.
