Miranda (http://www.miranda-im.org/) is another free alternative to Gaim.

VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org/) is THE de-facto audio/video editing program for Windows. This guy assembly-line optimizes often-called subroutines for extra performance (http://www.virtualdub.org/docs_compiling -- last question). Since it runs on inherently buggy codecs, it can catch it's own crashes and show you the assembly level code that it crashed on, with the last couple hundred lines above it, along with stack traces. (Of course, it doesn't show this by default.) It then tells you if it was the codec that crashed the program, depending on the assembly line it died on. It also does a good job of capturing video, but I don't have a web cam, so I can't vouch for that.

I use VirtualDub to re-encode all my video files for size, or help fix the ones that don't work. My motto is that if VirtualDub can't fix it, it can't be fixed. Unfortunately, due to copyright junk, it can't open wmv files, though it does say which was the last version that could so you can go get it yourself.

Actually, I realized that I use very little non-cs free software on my windows box.
