Windows XP Mode Webcam Use

August 9th, 2010 by admin


I have an old webcam that is no longer supported by Logitech. It will run on anything up to XP just fine and some people can get it to work on 32-bit versions of Vista and Windows 7, but 64-bit is a no go. I downloaded the Windows XP Mode and I can get that to detect the webcam and work fine while I have the virtual PC running. However, if I close out of it and run the capture program in XP Mode (without the entire virtual PC running) it won’t detect the cam since it’s no longer attached the virtual PC.

My question is this: Does anyone know how I can keep the camera attached to the virtual PC and use it with messengers from my actual OS instead of only inside the virtual?
