Click <STRONG>Start</STRONG>, and then click <STRONG>Control Panel</STRONG>.<BR />b. Click <STRONG>System and Maintenance</STRONG>, click <STRONG>System</STRONG>, and then click <STRONG>Device Manager</STRONG>.</P><P><STRONG>Note</STRONG> If Control Panel is in Classic View, double-click System, and then click Device Manager.<BR />If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.</P><P>c. In Device Manager, expand the appropriate category for the touch screen driver and right-click the listed driver. Here you will get all the option to update or Install/uninstall drivers. Click on <STRONG>Uninstall</STRONG>.<BR /><STRONG>Check if at all there is an exclamation mark along the driver, it suggests issues with the driver installed.<BR /></STRONG>d. Restart the computer. This will let the computer automatically detect the device drivers on restart of the computer. Now check if the issue resolves.<BR /><STRONG>If the issue persists you may contact or refer to the website of the computer manufacturer and get the latest drivers installed for the touch screen to work properly.</STRONG></P><P>Refer to the below mentioned link for updating the drivers -<BR /><A target="_blank" href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isnt-working-properly">http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isnt-working-properly</A></P><P><BR />Also refer:<BR /><STRONG>Calibrating the touch screen in Windows 7</STRONG></P><P><A target="_blank" href="http://acer--uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/427/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xMzMzOTYyNTQ3L3NpZC9BZVFkRWJWaw%3D%3D">http://acer--uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/427/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xMzMzOTYyNTQ3L3NpZC9BZVFkRWJWaw%3D%3D</A></P><P><STRONG>Unexpected behaviour when using multiple touch screens</STRONG></P><P><A target="_blank" href="http://acer--uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3414/related/1">http://acer--uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3414/related/1 </A></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Hope this helps!</P></DIV> Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:08:38 GMT http://community.acer.com/t5/Desktops-All-In-Ones/TouchScreen-Not-Working-Windows-8-Acer-Aspire-z5610/m-p/24247#M1369 tom85 2013-01-07T15:08:38Z http://community.acer.com/t5/Desktops-All-In-Ones/TouchScreen-Not-Working-Windows-8-Acer-Aspire-z5610/m-p/24631#M1393 <P>Thanks for your response</P><P>I saw some other threads, and people were able to find drivers that would work with windows 8 that would allow the touch functionality.
