Have you changed the cabin air filter? Also, you might want to check the evaporator drain to make sure it is open.

How to do the cabin filter: http://volvospeed.com/Repair/s80cfc.php. I know it says S80 but I think it applies to your car too.

The evaporator drain is a tube that comes off the bottom of the evaporator (air conditioning coil) in the dash. It drains the condensation overboard. If it gets plugged up the water can't drain out and you might get a fogging problem. When you have the AC on can you see water dripping onto the ground under the car? If so, your drain is OK.
