Thanks for your tips. I was reading the Webcam's box and it says it has "5MP resolution (interpolated)" And in the webcam's instructions, it says it has "1.3MP Resolution (interpolated)" I believe I'm going to complain at the store because, they are selling cameras mentioning one resolution in the box and other completely different in the instructions. That's no Fair. -- <-Manuel Escudero-> Linux User #509052 @GWave: jmlev...@googlewave.com @Blogger: http://www.blogxenode.tk/ (Xenode Systems Blog) PGP/GnuPG: DAE3 82E9 D68E 7AE4 ED31 1F8F 4AF4 D00C 50E7 ABC6
