thread title says it all pretty much! i have a 24" imac from 2009, and just installed bootcamp/windows 7 32bit on it for the first time. i tried to get the camera working while in windows and all that showed was a black screen. i assumed it would still work in photobooth on osx so i switched on over and its also a black screen in photobooth as well. i googled a bit about this problem but it seems other people were getting green screens instead. any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!! thanks :)

If your iSight is not working in Photo Booth when you're in OS X, then it's likely a hardware problem not a Windows or Boot Camp problem. Get it working in OS X first and it should work OK in Windows as drivers for it were installed.

What does the System Profiler tell you about the iSight camera?
