Installation Issues

Possible Solutions

Touch screen does not
respond to touch

• Review the installation procedures. Are all

cables connected properly?

• After you installed TouchWare, did you restart

your PC to activate the touch screen driver?

• Are the communication settings correct? Is the

touch screen trying to use the COM port or IRQ
of another device (for example, a mouse)? If
so, a hardware device conflict will result and
the touch screen will not work.

Calibrate the touch screen for the current video
resolution and operating system.

Calibrate the touch screen for the current video
resolution and operating system.

sure all cursor offsets (vertical, edge/horizontal)
are turned off.

resolution and operating system.
