Hello, I am having the same exact problem with my LifeCam VX-3000.

The image quality looks way too blurry with a poor refresh rate. It used to work pretty well in Win7.

Any suggestions? Hoping someone will help on this :)

I have the same problem after upgrade to 11.10 (x64).
in cheese: The image is distorted, red streaks, wrong colors.
