    i think you will find most 2mp cameras are just basic. if you are in a darkened room then the quality will be bad. try it outside in daylight and see how that is just to compare the quality.

    you could try updating the iintergrated camera driver for 7 & vista but this was released on october 2009 so most prob the one youve already got loaded.

    Most web-cams are very bad, not much you can do. You could but a usb one, but why bother? You could get decent quality but no where near a digital camera. If you use skype or other video chat, the quality will be further reduced by the streaming.

    Drivers can't fix something that sucks.
