WinXP Touchscreen drivers at last ? (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email I wonder if the Progear 1050 XP drivers would work, it really seems to be the same platform as the webpad... You can read instructions here: http://www.whiningdog.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=112 Here's the Progear FAQ - http://www.whiningdog.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28#31 And get the Microtouch drivers here: http://www.3m.com/3MTouchSystems/downloads/drivers.jhtml Direct link: http://www.3m.com/3MTouchSystems/downloads/drivers/NFI_W2K_XP_drivers_Single.ZIP Let's see if this works ! 08-11-2002 18:48:30

WinXP Touchscreen drivers at last ? Yes & No......... (modified 0 times) Mick73 Profile Well... I took the hard drive outta my laptop this weekend and put it in the GCTP (Had to do a clean install on my laptop anyways so I figured I'd try the XP Touchscreen drivers) First..... It's kinda slow..... Second and most important... I Kinda got the drivers to work...... I installed them and got them working... even seemed a little less buggy than with WinMe... but.... After a reboot I can't get them working again... no matter what I do... I removed them and reinstalled them and still nothing... Maybe I knocked something loose or something in my excitement so I'll check the touchscreen connection tomorrow and see if that's the problem.. has been touchy in the past... Anyways.. somebody else try it and make sure I wasn't just some freak chance of nature.. got another GCTP on the way.. I'll try on that too when I get it... Mick 08-25-2002 20:56:02

RE:WinXP Touchscreen drivers at last ? (modified 0 times) Mick73 Profile Well.. I can't get it to work again on this one... gotta put the drive back in my laptop so I can watch movies at work tomorrow I'll try it on the new GCTP in the next few days with a clean install of WinXP I hope... <Crosses fingers> 08-26-2002 20:27:15

RE:WinXP Touchscreen drivers at last ? (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email Thanks for trying them out ! Looks like it's worth the time installing in WinXP then. Was there a site for other drivers (sound, video, etc...) or does WinXP have them all ? I wonder if Bigdog hadn't put up a page with them. 08-27-2002 07:58:44

RE:WinXP Touchscreen drivers at last ? (modified 0 times) BigDog Profile | Email Like here... http://204.185.42.238/gct.htm Let me know if NFI_W2K_XP_drivers_Single.ZIP work and I will post it there too. 08-27-2002 09:01:51

RE:WinXP Touchscreen drivers at last ? (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email Link fixed: http://204.185.42.238/gct.htm For reference the XP Progear drivers are here : http://www.3m.com/3MTouchSystems/downloads/drivers/NFI_W2K_XP_drivers_Single.ZIP I'll give them a wirl tomorrow maybe. Bigdog, I take it XP only needs the video drivers, all the rest of the hardware is recognized automatically ? 08-27-2002 12:12:54

RE:WinXP Touchscreen drivers at last ? (modified 0 times) Mick73 Profile When I moved my hd from my laptop over it needed me to provide the Display drivers. I had already downloaded them to the hard drive and the Ethernet drivers which I never did get working I think it's because my laptop had a modem and ethernet built in plus a wireless network card installed before I moved the drive over probably should have uninstalled all that crap first. WinXP configured sound without a problem and found a modem no problem. like I said.. i'm going to try it with a clean install of WinXP once my next GCTP gets here... already have a new drive waiting for it... can't wait just hope I can duplicate the touchpad driver again since I couldn't do it with that install, probably something i screwed up that I couldn't find out about till a reboot.

RE:WinXP Touchscreen drivers at last ? (modified 0 times) BigDog Profile | Email Yes Yellow2; XP detected everthing fine. The only issue I had was that after installing and letting the "Windows Update" update the drivers for the video, I couldn't get the external VGA out to work (it was a pain because I had the GCT apart and was using the VGA out to run the install). With the orginal video drivers (the ones that XP detected during install) I could go between the LCD and VGA display; after updating drivers from either Microsoft or Linux+ drivers the VGA out would be disabled. The only other thing was that it detected a soft modem that it could not find a driver for; apparently there is a software modem built into the I/O controller chip. I was using a ethernet version when I installed and it detected the ethernet correctly, I am not sure about the HPNA drivers but I am fairly sure drivers can be found for it. 08-28-2002 10:39:50

RE:WinXP Touchscreen drivers at last ? (modified 0 times) BigDog Profile | Email This is for the fellow hacker that I sold that GCT to w/t the USB cd drive.... Can you email me again? my Outlook express at home shot craps and don't believe my reply got sent AND I lost your email address. OT for everyone else... What would cause MS's OLE to lose everything? everytime I click on a folder (inbox, sent items) the msg's in that folder disappear. 08-29-2002 09:36:58

RE:WinXP Touchscreen drivers at last ? (modified 0 times) Spanqboy Profile Hi All, Ok...dumb question on the touch driver. What port is the screen digitizer working off of?? The driver is looking for a controller on a serial port (1-9). I tried a bunch of them and none of them worked. What's the secret?? Thanks in advance spanqboy sends... 09-02-2002 19:23:51
