I take it you’ve loaded the XP drivers for your webcam ?
erm … =D nope, how do i find them on HP site or on microsoft ? im useless!!!
When you start Virtualbox and XP is running … look at the bar at the bottom of the window that contains XP … right-click on the USB icon and tell me what is listed… If the webcam is listed, what happens when you select it ?
