An obvious question but have you set your resolution and colour to the highest setting and tried that. I've never encountered such problems with Canon cameras.

The Canon website is also good for drivers make sure you are installing the latest and in most cases that won't be the one that came on the disc in the box.

Just a neat bit of info my webcam's a logitech, and I like it. I had two really expensive great ones and both died with in weeks of getting home due to carelessness on one part an an accident on the other so I won't get those expensive modles any more.

You could also try to get the answer on google ("how do I change the resolution on the display").

you can also right click on your desktop(not on a icon) > properties > settings tab >

set color quality to highest should be 32bit

and screen resolution to 1024 by 768

if you don't have any available resolutions higher then 800x600 then your graphics driver is probally not installed.

desk.cpl
 
It's basically the same for other versions of windows but you put it in run box or right click on desktop area and select appearance.
