Have you defined the folder which contains the .lib files? Right-click your project name, choose Properties, select Linker->General and add the name of the directory which contains the OpenCV library files to the Additional Library Directories field.

Does the folder contain the lib files? As in, have they been compiled? Check if cvcam.lib exists in the directory you've specified.

Can you try installing OpenCV 1.1prea from SourceForge? and uninstall the one you have?

Once you have done this and it works it means the library you have in your current OpenCV cannot be found. This can means either you forgot to choose Additional Library Directories (like Jacob said) or you are using OpenCV 2.0 and you didn't re-compile OpenCV for your machine (required for Windows using Visual Studio).
