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.

    SmashingSeltzer,

    I have the ZX4951. Here is what i did to get full functionality back, just like it was in the release preview of Windows 8.

    I uninstalled any IdeaCom drivers and programs I have tried in the past few weeks to fix the issue. (This part is very important.)

    I downloaded the IdeaCom Touch Driver for the ZX4971. Select Windows 8 x64 from the Operating System drop down, and then download the driver.

    I installed the driver by running the setup.exe, restarted the computer and all is back to normal.

    Hope this works for you also!

    Thanks,

    Dan

    Thank you so much.  I installed Windows 8 about a week ago, and can't remember if I used the touch feature or not. I tried today and noticed it didn't work. I used your link and it works now. Thanks so much.
