Welcome to the forums :emotion-21:
I'm afraid we're going to need more info from you, before we can offer specific suggestions?
First of all... what model desktop system do you have, and what OS are you using?
That tells us nothing of importance.
Is it an external webcam? What specific make/model is it?
Have you tried reinstalling the webcam software/drivers for instance? Have you tried reinstalling/updating MSN/WLM Messenger?
And although it might seem an obvious place to try and get help... did you try Googling the problem, before posting here on the forums?
Among the first few hits, is this 'How to use webcams on MSN Messenger' :emotion-55:

The system i have is Studio XPS 1340 and it has got built in web cam.
Well, i did try reinstalling web cam itself, drivers and windows live messenger in fact i even ran recovery disks for my system.
And further more web cam works fine with yahoo messenger and skype.
But i do not know why it doesn't work with msn messenger.

And the OS is?
I'm not being pedantic in asking that. It's important, because specific suggestions might vary depending on which OS you're using.
In the meantime... did you try the advice offered in the second link I gave you ('How to use webcams on MSN Messenger') in my initial reply?
