Win 7 7068 x64 and Touch capability PROBLEM
Hey guys.
I've been using 7068 x64 since it became available and have had no issues with it (besides ATi's CCC not working properly, but no big deal)
Anyway, I have 3 X 15.1" Tek Visions ELO touchscreen monitors that I'd really like to try Se7en's touch capability on.
Here's the deal: I've had all three of these monitors working properly with WinXP Pro for the last 4 years at my restaurant as part of my Point Of Sale system, I have all the old drivers, and have downloaded all kinds of Vista x64 drivers as well.
2 of the monitors are serial (COM port) and 1 is USB (I had to send one back for repair and they just sent me a newer model)
I haven't tried either of the serial touchscreen monitors since my motherboard has no COM ports in it (I do have a couple in a drawer, but I'd rather use the USB monitor anyway)
So, here's what's been done (and hasn't worked so far)
Reading that Windows 7 has (or is going to have?) "Touch Capabilities", and reading up on the ELO drivers for these monitors, they all pretty much say that if you're using an USB touchscreen, that Windows Vista will automagically recognize the monitor as a touchscreen and it will 'just work'.
So, I tried to just plug it in by itself first - Win7 installed some HID drivers behind the scenes (I really should run ProcMon to see just wtF is going on when these things happen!) - but it still did nothing, although, it did extend the desktop to the new monitor.
Then, I downloaded the newest x64 Vista drivers directly from ELO and installed (rebooting in between), plugged it in (like the instructions say) and still nothing - even though it still is recognized as a monitor - Win7 automatically has extended the desktop to it, just no touchscreen capability.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled and did all kinds of reboots in between each change, and still have no touch capability.
So, does anyone here have any experience getting this to work? Has anyone here actually tried to utilize a touchscreen with Win7??
Any good information will be greatly appreciated (and repped!!)
Thanks in advance.
