Hey anyone else running the developer preview of windows 8 and finding that their touch screen PC no longer works? It works fine on the partition I am using for windows 7 but on the windows 8 partition the touch screen no longer works. Any ideas? It says the touch screen is a desperate device and missing a driver but in win 7 I don't have that...in win 7 its just the screen and its driver...I'd really like to take a spin on this with touch screen capability...otherwise I guess I'm reformatting the partition and wiping it off....

Device manager -> touch driver ->search for drivers ->pick a location on my pc -> type in the drive letter of your windows 7 partition.


This will then search your windows 7 install for the driver.

Still nothing...here's a crappy pic of it not finding anything...any other ideas?

Hmmm.

Go to your Windows 7 install and look in program files for the drivers software. Then install it from there or copy over the drivers from there.
Yup that did it! I did that just before u posted and could not think of why that glossed over my head! Thanks for sticking with me!
