I understand with the correct specs, drivers, vid card (and monitor?) that Windows 7 PCs can have touch screen capability.
The HP TouchSmart IQ545a already has that, with Vista.
If I am in the markert for a new PC, and WANT at least the ability to have a Windows 7 Upgrade voucher for future use AND want touchscreen capability, what do I specifically look for spec-wise?
In other words, are there any presently available PCS apart from the HP, that CAN have the touchscreen capabilty when on Windows 7. And is the HP TouchSmart IQ545a upgradable to Windows 7, anyone know, that would then retain touchscreen capability post-upgrade?
I've heard that the desktop computer & the lap top computers will have a setting on the computer so you can touch what your doing. Well I do have to ponder a question to you guys that are testing Windows Seven out be for the release date comes.
My question's:Will the screen break if you use the touch screen on a lap top? Do I need to get a specially monitor for the touch screen that will be add to Windows Seven? If I do need a specially touch screen, will Windows Seven come up with one that does expect Windows Seven software. An if I wanted to get a touch screen how wood I know if it is a touch screen other then a regular monitor, wood it say it is a touch screen ect.
I notice that 7 will have touch screen capability, I'd appreciate any information on setting up, or general data on such. What I've seen so far is all a little vague.
I thought I would give windows 7 a go about a week ago on my Home system and loved it so much I've decided to install on my "carpc" that's fitted in my Toyota Hilux
The install seemed to go well just like it did on my Home system, with even the touch screen being found, only problem I could not get it to Calibrate very precise.
One thing I noticed right away was Windows 7 seems to have a built in Touch Screen interface that only shows the options to when it knows a Touch screen is present, for example you can scroll about in word docs, or internet explorer just by placing your finger anywhere on the screen rather than the little bar on the right you normally have to use which can be hard on a 7" touch screen.
There is a better on screen keyboard that pops out when needed if using the touch screen, also the cursor changes to a small dot rather than a mouse cursor, but changes back as soon as you move the mouse. I'm sure there are other features I not had chance to find yet.
My only problem now is due to me not being able to calibrate the screen as good as normal I decided to install the Software/drivers from the screen manufacture, I used the Vista version which worked well, and now the screen is calibrated perfectly.
The problem is now windows 7 has taken away all the touch screen options in the control panel, plus all the above features I said no longer happen
Any idea how I can get them back while still maintaining my manufactures driver/software?
Just bought the Samsung All in One PC and the Touch Screen stopped working:[URL]This is new territory for me although I know my way around Windows.how to get the Touch Screen back on?
so ive had a acer t230h touch screen monitor for some time, it works well and i use the touch screen and virtual keyboard when web browsing , ive been using the win 7 pro drivers, and it works well most of the time, but after going to Internet my touch screen driver seems to stop working, to get it working again i have to pull the touch screen usb cord and reinsert it driving me mental
I need to allow non administrators to calibrate the touch screen. As you can see, the calibrate button causes the UAC login to appear. Does anyone know a way around this?
You know, I've been well impressed over this last week of running Windows 7 that I've treated myself to a new large computer desk, a new case (Antec Skeleton) and a nice set of Creative speakers. Now it suddenly occured to me that Microsoft was bragging recently about the touchscreen abilities of Windows 7, and now I'm thinking "where can I get a touchscreen Monitor from, here in the UK?". Hey, I'm a geek!!
Looked on feebay, but they are limited as to what's on offer.
I got installed A-touch (Taiwan) touch screen kit on a monitor. Unfortunately the CD that came with the kit has only XP drivers and Win7 drivers is missing. Also the A-touch website has not posted win7 drivers.
I'm using the Lenovo multi touch driver for my X61T. With Windows 7 build 7000 the same driver when I wake my laptop from sleep the touch screen works. Starting with build 704x (i can't remember the exact build but it was the first leaked x64 build) when I wake the machine from sleep the touch screen doesn't work (both pen and finger touch)
I have tried to change USB settings but I haven't seen any fix. A restart of the machine means the tablet works again. Any ideas about a patch until Lenovo makes new drivers for Windows 7?
A member of my family has windows 7 home premium, and would like to get a touch screen monitor for their pc, so their son can use the pc by touching the screen, as he does at his school. They have seen one, and I was wondering if they can just buy the monitor and plug it in, or do they need to buy anything extra? Is it easy to configure the desktop to use touchscreen?
I have an ergo AS2 all-in-one PC with built in Touchscreen Display on WIndows 7. All drivers are installed, and the touch screen is working, however the Mouse Pointer on screen is bugging the hell out of me.I have USB mouse plugged in as well, and when using the USB mouse, i get the default white arrow, but as soon as I use finger on the Touchscreen the Mouse pointer changes to a small diamond. When I take my finger of the screen, the mouse pointer dissappears alltogether (until the next time i touch or move the mouse)I want the touchscreen Mouse pointer to stay the same as the normal white arrow. I have tried all the options under Mouse settings and Pen and Touch, but none work.
I have a Dell laptop model 1720. I have tried every suggestion made by numerous posts to google but I'm unable to disable my touch pad. Nothing seems to work. Dell had told me the only way to do this would be to return to factory settings. I originally purchased my computer with Vista and recently upgraded to Windows 7. With Vista, disabling the touchpad only required entering a check in a box. Now that I have Windows 7 the options are different. 'Touch Pad Pal' doesn't work at all.
Synaptic Lux Pad V7.4 on PS/2 Port. Cursor works but tapping and L.H click does not work. Everything working ok with an external mouse on USB. Re-installed driver program for above but same problem.
System: Toshiba Satellite A205 S4777 32 bit laptop w/ 2GB RAM, originally Vista Home Premium, clean install of Win 7 Home Premium.Since the clean install of Win 7 I no longer have the Synaptics touchpad listed in device manager. I found it's folder in Windows old files, which is the former Vista system. I copied it over to my Program Files in Win 7, but it still doesn't appearin device manager.I wouldn't care except for the fact that when I type on the keyboard the movement of my palms moves the insertion point or causes the screen to minimize. Could someone direct me as to the steps I need to take to re-install this touch pad?
I have some problem with my keyboard some keyboard keys do not work "FN" and other keys from asus notebook.
i tried install drivers but dont work, only work generic functions. my touch pad have a problem, my notebook have multimedia touchpad and multimedia options dont work =| , only generic functions in touch pad work.
My Maxtor One Touch 2 USB drive worked fine with XP and Vista 32 bit but Windows 7 does not see it in My Computer. I can'r find a new driver on the Maxtor site even though MS says to go there. Any ideas?
The internal keyboard and touch pad of my laptop have stopped working suddenly. The laptop was running but I did not use it for maybe 5 minutes. Then the touch pad and the keyboard did not do anything anymore. Rebooting did not help. I use external devices now.In the device manager the devices are only shown when hidden devices are displayed. Both devices have a yellow exclamation point and error code 24 in details (device not present or not working). Replacing the drivers with a compatible one does not help. windows XP: Laptop Keyboard Not Working?
I have installed WIndows7 in my Laptop dell xps 1330 about one and half months ago. It was running perfect and was not a trial version for one month.
However, still I can update my windows and so forth as original. The fact was, I installed some programmes and softwares which I used before, in Windows Vista! Now-a-days, I experience having problem with the touch pad, CD Rom hardware and Volume...
1. touch pad stucks, pointer doesn't move sometimes.
2. CD Rom start functioning automatically without having a CD inside.. sounds like CD is ejecting from rom.
3. volume button starts increasing automatically and sometimes mutes !
what I guess, it's a virus. I installed a scroll pad driver, I thought the problem was due to the driver. After uninstalling that driver, the touch pad was functioning normally (without the scroll functioning though) and the error was removed. But after two days, I see the same problem again..
My laptop has 4GB RAM but HP ship it with Vista 32bit (Lame uh) so I installed Windows 7, everything seems to work except the LEDs at the touch bar ain't change color. when you press the "mute sound" button it should turn red, but it stays at the same color, the sound get's muted. Anybody knows a fix?
My netbook, running windows 7 starter, no longer allows me to right click. Not in programs, not in folders, not on the desktop. I was using a USB mouse (which I tested on another mechine, the right click works fine there, so its not the mouse). After this problem started I tried a second usb mouse and the right-click on the built-in touch pad mouse. None of them worked. I have tried rebooting, I tried updating the drivers on my USB mouse. I havn't tried a system restor, hoping someone might know a fix that avoids that route.
Dell Inspiron 1525 was freezing up as I type job apps (I was laid off so I need this fixed quickly) so a repair service we use (1 person) looked and upgraded me to Windows 7 from Vista. I have two issues now. It no longer locks up but the cursor jumps all over the page causing me to make mistakes typing and garbling sentences. It is not the touch pad. I have even covered it with cardboard and it still does it. The repair tech doesn't seem interested in finding the cause so I am stuck. Spell check is now saying portions of words are wrong such as the "ood" in Good Evening in this post. It is doing this for both times I have written the word. I have researched this and find similar but not close enough possible solutions.
Here is what I have found and tried. I have lowered the cursor speed to the third line. It seemed to help somewhat but now it is back to the same problem. I have scanned with Malwarebytes and my AVG antivirus. Both are up to date and nothing has been found. I performed a disk cleanup and defrag, it did noI am not a computer expert so this is the extent of my attemptsThis happened once a year ago with Vista and the service tech found it to be a driver issue on a forum and fixed it. He does not remember doing this and I believe he thinks I am insane.
can microsoft implement native multi gesture support for touch pad for windows 8, it like a small touch screen isn't it? as of now it works randomly with some application and not other eg zune, windows explorer doesn't work etc. the feature is so useful it's supprising that microsoft still haven't include it in their os.
I am using Win 7 for a while (came pre-installed with laptop). Now it's time to have Win 7 (x64) installed on personal desktop as well.I just a have a specific question related to BIOS. Hope to avoid unnecessary delays/problems this way.
