[QUOTE="KamileonX, post: 632185, member: 39554"] Hey All: My girlfriend has a Core Duo MacBook (2006). Recently I did a fresh install of Leopard. When we first started using her MacBook after the Leopard install, the Webcam (built in iSight) didn't work. It didn't show up in System Profiler (under the USB). So we tried restarting it, and it still didn't work. I tried reseting the SMC, PRAM and all that jazz, and nothing helped. So after a while of trying, we closed the lid and allowed the MacBook to go to sleep. about 5 Minutes later, it woke itself up with the lid closed. So I opened the lid, and magically, the Webcam worked. Now a couple days later, the Webcam has disappeared again. Any thoughts? Sounds like a driver issue to me, is there a way to reinstall the Webcam Driver? [/QUOTE]
