Webcam Filters and Installation

Post by Dregen »

I searched the boards and couldn't find the answer. I just recently purchased a new computer, the last one crashed and I had a Windows XP guest running with a webcam attached. I'm trying to do the same, but I can't figure out the filters or how to install the webcam again.

Any help would be appreciated.

Anything? I'm still having this problem I'm using a Windows 7 Host and attempting this with a Windows XP Home Edition Guest.

Webcams are known not to work in VBOX. Why not installing on host?

I had it working on my last computer in windows 7, it's an older webcam not compatible with windows 7. Guess I need a new one.
