Hello!!
I'm a user of the lates version of Oracle virtualbox with Windowx XP as guest, I've a Dell inspiron 1545, with opensuse 11.2 as a host OS, and three webcams, but any of these work.

1. Integrated webcam, of Lab creative. (It works in linux, with skype, amsn, pidgin,..)
2. USB Genius e-310 messenger webcam.
3. USB logitec 2500

All of three cameras are recognized, but when I start some application in winXP, the camera show a black image.

Someone knows what cand I do?

Thanks.

Try installing the guest additions (in the guest) in safe mode and select the 3D effects when asked.
Still some programs do not work properly in a guest and not all cameras work either.
