The first step would be to ensure that your camera is on the hardware
compatibility list for this operating system.

Greetings,

The 'Webcam' feature in MSN Messenger 6 will not support DV cameras. You can however use
your DV Camera if your contact is using XP. To do so, click the Actions menu in the
conversation window, then choose 'Start Video Conference' (instead of Webcam). You'll also
need to go through the Audio/Video Tuning wizard (see the Tools menu) to select the DV Camera
first.
