    Skpye will not recognize my Aiptek Pencam ?
    It says that I need to close down programs using the cam. I did this and still
    it didn’t recognize it.






    I followed your advice to an earlier
    posting on the same problem. My webcam is connected to my PC and is working ok.
    I have the latest version of Skype
    installed – 4.0.0.215






    Then in Skype I went to Tools/ Options/
    Calls/ Video Settings






    But there is no drop down menu, to select my
    cam instead of the default view, as you wrote on the same problem before.

I suggest you try this as well as the latest drivers:

Download Splitcam from www.splitcamera.com

Install it, run it, click on the Video button and select your webcam. Click on the on button. You will see your face.

Now go to Skype>Tools>Options>Video Setting and select Splitcam as your webcam.

It worked for me! I got this off a skype message forum!!! Bill was the guy who posted on it, he rules!
If you can see your face on split cam it will work on Skype! My Aiptek pencam 2 is over 9 years old and it works!

First off verify that your PC is connecting with your cam. (Proper drives installed)

Second,Make sure you have the latest version of Skype installed, as the older versions don't seem to respond well to cam's. (personal experience)

Last,(skype) go to Tools/ Options/ Calls/ Video Settings
--There is a drop down menu, make sure you have your cam selected instead of the default view. That should fix your problem, as skype is probably not trying to use your cam as a viewing source.

Memory full aiptek pencam trio

Hi, i got exactly the same problem with my Aiptek Trio Pencam HD, and i solved it !!! :D
I opened it, you got to remove 6 screws:
2 screws at the bottom, 2 screws on the side, remove the plastic clip, remove the plastic cover over the cam, it is fixed with adhesive, and remove the last 2 screw.
Now open your cam, now you can see the electric circuit of the cam, and on this electric circuit you can see another little circuit with a chip, it is cliped, mine wasn't cliped correctly, try to clip it, and be sure that doesn't move.
PS: Sorry for my bad english
