I tried your code and for me it works (it visualizes the current webcam input)!
I ran it on Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate with OpenCV 2.4.7.
...
The error occurs because the image is empty, so try this:

while (true) {
    cap >> image;

    if(!image.empty()){
        imshow("window", image);
    }

// delay 33ms
waitKey(33);        
}

Maybe the first image you receive from your webcam is empty. In this case imshow will not throw an error. So hopefully the next input images are not empty.
