Windows 8 and Touch Screen PCs

Anyone else?

from WinCustomize Forums

Hey guys. I'm running Windows 8 Pro on a Dell Inspiron One 19T with a touch screen.

 

I have problems with swiping from the edges in touch mode.

 

Any ideas? Anyone else having similar hardware and troubles?

It has nothing to do with the OS.  Enable all multi-touch gestures and inking? Did you calibrate it?

that's not how Windows 8 works. you're supposed to swipe in from "outside" of the edge. that means you need a monitor without a bezel.

(or give up a little resolution, some drivers support that)

of course it does. how Windows 8 works is exactly the issue. 

that's why they have certificates for hardware.

Yrag ALWAYS comes through. For anyone who needs him. He should be promoted.

 

In fact, I award Yrag for his expertise, prowess, finesse, and downright hospitable tower side manner:
