    Sorry guys for asking this again, but I saw somewhere in this forum similar topic, and as search function is not working currently, I'm forced to ask you again :)

    So is there any solution to fix than camera lagging, so when it is on higher resolution, I don't get 2-3 frames max? I tried updating drivers through Device Manager, but that didn't help. It really annoys me when I use video convs, as it is so damm slow.

    Only way to increase frame rates is lowering the resolution of the cam. I believe you can get 30fps @ 320x240 with M1530's camera.
    What are you using for video chat? Skype?

    Turn off auto white balance and lower backlight compensation to 0. I get consistent 15 fps to 30 fps

    I use MSN and Skype. What I noticed is that before installing SP1 for Vista my updated cam drivers were working perfectly. Even in the highest res I had more than 15 fps. Maybe SP1 is the problem?

    I'll try this one with auto white balance.
