    As said in the title, iSight is very laggy in Windows XP when I'm trying to take a picture. Interesting thing is, in windows movie maker, iSight works fine with resolution turned down to the lowest. Is there an updated windows driver for iSight? Or How do you fix the lag issue? iSight works fine in OSX.

    Despite this issue, I still like my mac cuz it's so quiet and speedy!

    try uninstalling the bootcmp isight driver and reinstall it again. I found that "unworking drivers" tend to work after a quick reinstall.
