Did you install all the drivers for the cam?

Start by making sure the drivers are the correct ones for you model and type of webcam. If they seem to be correct make sure your MSN settings are setup for your webcam to be accessed. I don't know the exact keystrokes under MSN, but generally look around in the settings.
