Digital camera advice - Is it nut behind the shutter or the equipment?

I am trying to take indoor pictures at an investment property. The interior designer is on vacation, and I'm trying to send her pictures to get feedback. Well, I don't want to use a flash, because it will screw up the colors.

The camera is a point and shoot Canon SD200. It does great outdoors and works well doing still pictures with controlled lighting. However, I've never had any luck taking indoor pictures. I stabilize the camera on a still object to minimize any movement in my hand. The pics still look like crap. When I use the built-in flash, it's equally terrible.

Shutter speed is on automatic. ISO setting - automatic. Exposure is automatic. What can I do? I need to be able to take quality indoor pictures in varying daylight conditions.

This picture will probably be butchered by vBulletin software, but it can't be much worse than the original pic. The camera was not on a tripod, but it was stabilized on a platform. The camera is set for 1600x1200. Should I drop down to lower resolution?

Thanks, Jurgen
