I have a Gateway ZX6971 all in one touch screen. I recently downloaded the windows 8 release preview and i cant find anyway to get my touch screen capabilities working again. Is there a way to fix this problem? I tried reintalling the Card Reader Driver and try to open some touch programs in capability mode. Is there anything I can do to do my touch screen back? It worked fine in Windows 7. Any help or advice would be great! Thank you!

Hi ssackfield88,
This issue may be a display driver issue. I checked Gateway's website for available drivers for the ZX6971 and there are no Windows 8 drivers. Use the contact us link here to see when or if drivers will be available to support Windows 8 on your computer.

What is the maker of the digitizer?
Integrated Windows® 7 multi-touch capable optical solution
does not identify it enough to help you find an appropriate driver. Are there any clues for it in W7?
Notice that SmashingSeltzer with another Gateway model knows at least that much for it.
BTW that description is similar to what an Acer user is given.

My model uses the IdeaCom IDC 6650 as its touch controller.
It may help if you would tell us how you found that out.
E.g. your machine's spec's has the same kind of vague wording regarding its Touch implementation as the others
Integrated multi-touch screen supporting finger touch
I have the same issue .

Oh, and I have also found some minor success on the same device with TouchBase's drivers. I had to go into its settings and un-check "use lift-off packet," under properties before it would respond properly. But I think it's less useful than the other previously mentioned driver.
Still, hope that's useful to somebody out there, the site to request the driver is;
