Mars problem with a webcam

See attached image for the el-cheapo webcam and successful pic of Saturn.
Using SharCap, Registax, 2" Barlow on a 10" GOTO Dob. Saturn first object.
Mars appears as a white over-exposed disc. I've tried increasing the frame-rate to 10fps and boosting the gain, however during capture the feed info at the bottom of SharcCap shows the capture at 5fps. The frame-rate doesn't appear to change.
What am I doing wrong?
