Operating the Touch Screen

Touch Software Installation for Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Vista (Plug and Play)

Windows touch and multi-touch gestures are supported in Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate Operating System Editions only. Multi-touch is not supported in Windows 7 Home Basic and Starter Editions and Windows Vista Editions.

When you connect the USB cable between the monitor and a computer with Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Vista operating system, the Windows touch driver software will automatically install. The software may take a few minutes to install and a message will display on the monitor screen indicating that the driver software has been installed successfully. After the touch driver software is installed, you can select, launch, and drag objects using the touch screen. To make a selection, touch the screen.

NOTE: Refer to “Connection Instructions” on the previous page for instructions on connecting the USB cable.

To verify that the touch driver is installed, on the Windows 7 desktop go to Start > Control Panel >System and Security > System and ensure that Pen and Touch Input Available with 2 Touch Points is listed in the System section. To determine if touch is available on systems running Windows Vista Operating System, go to Start > Control Panel > Mobile PC > Pen and Input Devices. If the Touch tab appears, touch input is available.

Touch Software Installation for Microsoft Windows XP

Using the touch screen function on systems running Microsoft Windows XP requires the HP touch driver installation. The touch driver is provided on the CD that comes with the monitor. The touch driver does not install calibration software or control panels. The touch function operates after the driver is installed. Multi-touch is not supported in Windows XP.

NOTE: You do not need to install the software for Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Vista. Microsoft plug-and-play touch drivers are already included in those operating systems for this monitor.
