Here is a site from Microsoft on troubleshooting Netmeeting:

Avicap32.dll cannot start
When you click the NetMeeting icon to start the program, you receive the following error message:

"The AVICAP32.DLL file cannot start. Check the file to determine the problem."

This is not a NetMeeting issue, but rather an underlying multimedia issue. The problem is related to a mismatched version of at least one of the following files:

Avicap32.dll
Avifil32.dll
Mciavi.drv
Avifile.dll
Winmm.dll
Avicap.dll
Mmsystem.dll
Msvideo.dll

Locate each file on your computer to make sure you have the most current version. Sometimes older versions of these files remain when you upgrade your computer or make similar changes. Load the latest version for any outdated files.

By typing avicap32.dll into a search engine, I also came up with several pages which suggest that you have mismatched version of those files. It may be that your camera software either replaced or didn't replace some files it should/should not have.

Try reinstalling the software for the camera first. Visit the manufactuer's website to ensure the software is the latest and it is compatible with Windows ME.
