AS4810-4011 Camer Woes

Thread Starter 
Just picked up this new notebook. When on Skype, the image quality rec'd by others is downright terrible. For example, the cables for the headphones I was using is seen as terribly jagged on the other end. See it here.

Is this image is as good as it gets? Seems like a 1.3 Mb camera should be able to do a better job.

TIA,
David

BTW, the machine is currently running Vista.

That is not normal for the pic to be like that over Skype with a 1.3MB cam

I recommend that you review the updates (OS and drivers), firewall and anti-virus as well. It is not bad to disable a few not needed start-up processes and services whilst you are at it.

cheers ...

do that, but check settings. seems like a lot of compression is going on. Maybe a setting in skype? (dunno, don't use)

The OS is current. What should the firewall and anti-virus settings be?

Not sure what you are using as FW and AV. Just review them and make sure that they are not so aggressive.

Take Michelle's suggestion above, and try the cam with another app like Yahoo Messenger?

cheers ...
