Can you help me figure this camera out?

I bought a kodak easyshare V603, 6.1 megapixles, and I absolutely cannot take quality pictures. I take just simple pictures of objects and it turns out horribly. I take better pictures with disposable cameras, honestly. I'm not familiar with photography techniques, but I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't be this difficult to take pictures. I've messed with ALL of the settings. Anybody have advice.

For those of you wondering, the pictures turn out very dark and blurry. No matter if it is up close or at a distance, with or without flash, doesn't matter.

One statement you wrote explains all your problems: "I've messed with ALL of the settings." Therein lies your problem IMO.

What you need to do is READ & STUDY the Owner's Manual for your camera. Randomly changing settings without any idea of what they do is a recipe for chaos. READ & STUDY that Owner's Manual until you figure out how to get the camera back to its default (factory) settings. Then learn 1 feature/setting at a time and practice until you know what it does, why you'd use it and when.

I learned a very long time ago that you never ever change more than one variable at a time.
