the only problem i ever had was that msn beta didn't want to recognize that i have a webcam
but here is some stuff that might help u hopefully...
try to see if there are any driver updates for your webcam. go to the official site and check there..
if you have windows XP -> you have service pack 2 right? ..also get the newest directx

something stupid but meh - try to install the webcam again after you already instal msn 7 onto u'r computer.
