    touch-screen scrollbar too narrow


    I am maintaining a windows 10 machine for public use at one of the state parks. The application is written in Access using VBA. The machine has a touch-screen, and I do not want the user to use a mouse or keyboard. The machine is ONLY used for this one application.

    I have set the scrollbars to a wider size using the registry, but each time a windows 10 update is run, my settings is lost. Is there an easy way to set the width of the scrollbars to be wider and keep that setting? Or at least is there an easy way to reset the scroll bar width.

    :)

    touch screen scrolling


    I've got the same problem. It seems, that Windows thinks that I'm just using a mouse. I can still use the Touch Screen, but every tap on it is like a left mouse-click. I'm not able to scroll down by swiping over the screen, scrolling just works when I use the right scrollbar.

    I think that there is a problem in the device manager. It looks like there is something missing under the Human Interface Devices. There must be something like "HID-compliant touch screen", but my system doesn't have this device installed.

    If someones touch screen working without any restrictions: Can you please tell me if you've got this device listed in the device-manager?

    Thank you very much.

    FYI: I still have the latest updates installed.

  3. Touch screens

    I can do 60 words per minute on my phone, perhaps more now as I've got used to the phone. ( htc desire z, using the stock onscreen keyboard)

    Touch screen + predictive text I recon I could equal my keyboard typing speed. Maybe beat it depending on how advance the predictions are.

    ( hard to use predictive software on traditional keyboards as there is no way to quickly choose the suggested word, where as touch screen keyboards can have the suggested words appear above the function keys)

    Hi,

    We sure can provide some troubleshooting steps before you decide to get help from your laptop's manufacturer. Please follow the suggested solutions below:

    Method 1: Check if the touch screen driver is enabled.

    • In the Search bar, type Device Manager.
    • Locate Human Interface Devices and look for touch screen.
    • Right-click touch screen and check if it is enabled. If not, please enable it.
    Method 2: Reinstall the touch screen driver.

    • In Device Manager, go to Human Interface Devices.
    • Locate touch screen again and right-click it to Uninstall
      the driver.
    • Restart your PC to automatically install the driver.
    Feel free to post back for updates.
