3m Dst Touch Screen Drivers
Hey all - I'm playing with windows 7 on my 3m usb touchscreen - but i'm having trouble getting it to behave like something other than a glorified mouse. The problem is it doesn't recognize it as a touch screen and therefore the 'pen and touch' control panel is missing. In the device manager, the touch screen is listed under the 'mice and other pointing devices' category, and the monitor is listed as generic plug and play.
So how do I tell windows 7 what's what? How do i force it to recognize my touch screen and enable pen and touch options? Hi Neil, et all, The 3M firmware for the EXII passed windows 7 testing last week. For existing users, who are using the EXII based controller the best method for supporting windows 7 is to update our firmware to the HID digitizer firmware. This is the firmware that was tested to windows 7. Firmware on all EXII based controllers is updatable. Controllers prior to EX are not supported as they do not meet the requirements to support Win 7.
We are also creating a driver as our tech support indicated, to allow our MT 7 software pack convert the mouse format to HID Digitizer but that will be available closer to the launch date of Windows 7. Jeet kune do a core structure training manual 2016. Both approaches do the same thing, one does it in our firmare and the MT7 route does it in the software. Using the HID Digitizer firmware will allow the hold, gestures, and flick built into windows 7. Contact me back if you are interested in upgrading.

Each manufacturer will create and develop the drivers/software depending on the capabilities of their hardware. You will need to contact 3M support for these. Hope this helps. Thank You for testing Windows 7.

Hope this helps. Thank You for testing Windows 7. Don't you think this is a really bad precedent to set? You know, you just know, that companies all over the world are going to be creating touch devices made for windows 7 with terrible driver support. Why don't you just allow the user to enable/disable touch features themselves? As a followup, why can't we do it with a mouse?
I'm just looking for iPhone style functionality, and that hardly seems like it needs some special driver. To not allow me to force it on or off is Apple style programming - removing options from the customer for no reason. Okay - I did some more digging on this. First - you CAN force windows to 'believe' you have a tablet pc device installed: HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsTablet PC Change the values in DeviceKind and IsTabletPC to 1 (you'll likely need to alter the permissions to allow your user to amend these values, but this is no issue - just right click and select permissions). Note that you will find that, after a reboot, these values can be reset by the system. This simply doesn't help solve the issue raised in this forum. Even if you manually start the tablet PC service and you fool the PC into believing you have a touchscreen, the machine will still read the touchscreen input as if it were a mouse.
From what I can gather, Windows 7 treats mouse and finger inputs differently (likely to allow both to work at the same time and to give a more consistent user experience). The trick would be to making the PC believe that the touchscreen input should be read as a finger input, not a mouse input. And for that I think you'd have to monkey about with manually configuring the device manager (class and so forth).
And, even if you could fix this issue, you'd still be left with the problem that the output from the touchscreen might not be the same as input expected by the 'touch' software in Windows 7. In short, the only way to reasonably go is to wait for the drivers and for the manufacturer to create an output and device profile that Windows 7 will accept. I can understand why Microsoft have chosen to make 'finger' input distinct from mouse input and, now I think about it, that probably the right approach for an overall better experience when it comes to touch in Windows (less room to get things muddled up, and you can work on making Windows work with each input type optimally).
Let's hope 3M deliver their new drivers soon as I'm convinced that Windows 7 is a superb platform to make use of all those 3M devices out there.
