Touch screen lost...

[EeroA]

Here's what happened so far:

For some reason while changing resolutions, the touch screen lost calibration so that it bacame unusable. Tried to recalibrate, but the calibration program didn't even start. Tried restarting Vista. Nothing.

So, I thought I'd unistall the HID and scan for new hardware, but no luck; Vista doesn't find such hardware even under restart. Legacy hardware doesn't help, either.

Any hints? Using a device such as Shift without touch screen is pretty dumb...

start windows in safe mode, then look at c:\windows\ntbtlog.txt

For the touchscreen to work, you must see:

Loaded driver \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\ecdrv.sys
Loaded driver \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\htcpen.sys

If any of those two is missing, the touchscreen will not work.... try to restore them if you want to keep your existing installation or reinstall your vista using Fn+F3.

Thanks, pof!

I guess it's time for F3 again. It's a damn shame if a clever device such as this cannot be trusted to run for more than a week between reinstalls :(
