Heres the deal. I'll make it short. I have a Datalux LVM10 touchscreen lcd and the drivers won't work. I have the newest drivers, it is a ps/2 connection, but it won't recognize the hardware. Companys involved are 3M for the touchscreen driver (Microtouch T5 V.5.63). The monitor is a Datalux .INF file which works fine. If any of you can help, I'll go into more detail. Thanks

I have a touchscreen for my in-car computer.
Its an ELO on a Sharp screen. I tried it on an old computer(win95) and it just didn't work. When I put it on a newer computer(win98) it worked right off the bat. I don't know why id didn't work, and I'm not an expert with them. All my components are raw, so I see there are jumpers there. I didn't have to mess with them though. More info?

We have touch screen (ELO with ELO software and drivers) monitors on our three plasma workstations out in the factory.

Maybe I can help.

perhaps, The newest driver looks for the assigned com port but it doesn't seem to be able to find it. The manual says to make sure IRQ12 isn't being used. I looked, and my original mouse driver is gone and the IRQ isn't being used.
I have tried on Win ME and Win 98 with no success.

I installed one several months ago and it would not work on the ps2 port- It needed an adapter to use the serial port B and has been fine ever since. Seems like it took changing some features in the BIOS too but I can't remember exactly- too long ago

Ok here we go, its been a couple of years since I worked on a microtouch. In your com port settings check the buad rate it should be set to 9600 or 19200 also check to parity you should see something like this 0,8,n,1. Also check in your hardware settings to make sure that nothing else is conflicting with the com port (very important) this can be a little tricky but double check your modems properties. Go to 3m's site and download a program called microcal it is a DOS based program that will at least let you know that the hardware is running it will not work under windows so make sure that you start it from a DOS window. It has been my experience that the Microtouch serial adapters fail at a high rate due to heat problems. They may have fixed the problem but they did have good tech support. I hope that this helps you.
