Posted September 25, 201410 yr Hey guys, this used POS touchscreen pc [no name brand] running XP Pro SP2 which was working fine but after uninstalling some programs trying to clean up the pc, now when I startup the pc, I can navigate through windows fine but touching anywhere on the screen doesn't work, I have no knowledge of touchscreens so can anyone tell me how I can get this working again please?
September 27, 201410 yr Mike sorry I wasn't aware touchscreens existed in Windows XP but I doubt whethe it works or not has anything to do with Windows frankly.
September 29, 201410 yr Author I am trying to figure out which touchscreen software is on this unit so i can try doing a fresh install and would appreciate any help advice please since I cannot find a touchscreen specific forum on the net where I might get help with this? I am seeing a folder on the C drive named "Touchscreen", inside that folder I am seeing a few items with one document titled "Instructions for installing Zounds touchscreen, when I open that doc, I am seeing "Instructions for installing Solo 17 Touchscreen in Zounds Store" and then in another location C/Program Files I am seeing this folder "SimpleTouch FE", can anyone shed any light on which software is the actual touchscreen software please? Maybe I can look in the Device Manager for drivers but under which item should I look for the touchscreen drivers in "Sound, video and game Controllers"?
September 29, 201410 yr FPCH Admin Hi Mike, It seems to me that the touchscreen stopped working after someone uninstalled a "few programs". It's more likely than not that whoever uninstalled those programs actually uninstalled the touchscreen software. Simple Touch Fe seems to be a software program designed for use with touchscreens. I think you are on the right track. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~~~Robert McCloskey~~
