Microsoft Messenger Live MSN (Video Camera) Help

Hey guys how are you doing?
I HONESTLY don't know how to use my Mac OS X tiger at all.. Barely... essentials
Ok.... HERE IS THE QUESTION
I have an account in hotmail and I use MSN to contact all my friends... WORKS FINE on the WindowsXP with the old camera and all.
Now!!!!
WHY if my mac's camera works fine (and NO, I am not using it in another program or running another program), when I download a version of MSN chat on my mac it doesn't allow me to use the camera???
I don't understand I even called Apple and they said they are not trained for MSN messenger...
Please help
(also my friends on MSN all have Windows not Mac).
I have already downloaded version 6.0 and 7.0 from Mactopia (it doesn't work; i can only Chat but without the use of the camera).
I would greatly appreciate your help
THANK YOU
Sincerely Kathrena
P.S: Please be EXTREMELY detailed when giving me instructions =).

Mac OS X tiger, Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Microsoft Messenger for Mac does not do Video/audio, but is said to be coming in v8 at sometime this year.

The only way on MSN is.
