I too have this issue. I have so far worked out that my laptop (tx2050ea, also in the tx2000 range) has a wacom touchscreen but have not been sucessful in tracking drivers down for multitouch.

If anyone knows where to find these i would appreciate it

Thanks

Bruce

Hi,

Touchsmart Tx2000, tx2500, doesn´t support multitouch.
That feature, appart for being software dependent, needs a multitouch hardware, and the only hp computers with that, are the touchsmarts.

Regards,

I looked on HP's website and the TX2609 reference I found is for the TX2609au which indicates that it was marketed to Australia. It has a Wacom digitizer and is NOT Multitouch. It is similar to my TX2500 which has a digitizer and (in your case - possibly) a single touch finger input panel as well. Since it has the Wacom digitizer, it is SINGLE TOUCH.

Sorry for the bad news,

David

Woohoo! I won my Touchsmart!

prswine said: the tx2000 line does have multitouch just does not have drivers for they are to be released sometime in october. if u can find the manufacturer u might be able to get it sooner thats what i am searching for and how i stumbled into this forum

Nope...Sorry.  The TX2000 series with the Wacom digitizer (I have a TX2500) IS NOT multitouch.  It does support both pen and finger input but not multiple finger input.  If you would like to prove me wrong please provide a link to what you are talking about.

The "TX2", however is multitouch.  It looks vry similar to the 2000 series and is often confused with it, but has a totally different touchscreen (n-trig)

prswine,
Wacom or HP's website. I've looked at both and find no mention of multitouch being available for the TX2000 series tablet. Care to share a link?

i found on this site how x61 can be operated as multi touch...pls check & give a solution for hp tx2000....

Zealhybrid said: Once, and for all; the tx2000/tx2500 ISN'T capable of multitouch, there are no drivers, there won't be, maybe perhaps it's capable of some sort of multitouch, holding one finger and moving the other...but thats another story, there wont be any such drivers, so the only way to have multitouh in this, is changing the whole screen (arround $650) for the ones in the tx2z series, so is better to get another computer of that series. Regards.

Agreed.  It is totally different technlogy.  The link that was provided was also for a linux distro and not windows.  There is no way to make a single touch device multitouch.

Hi,

I give you the formal welcome, to the pain that is to have one of these things..... XD. About your problem, have installed any kind of software that might use a virtual driver (daemon tools, virtual cdrom, etc)? have you recently updated any driver? Have you checked the hp website, for the newest drivers? and finally, have you checked the system's log? maybe there's the answer to this.

Rgards,
Mauricio

Hi again,

for the virtual drive I suggest you MagicISO Virtual Drive --> http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm

For system log---> In search, on the taskbar, type "eventvwr" (without quotes)

You can find many useful information in here, check for the windows log, and startups errors.

If your vista update is activated, probably your drivers are up to date.

If I were you, I would do a full system recovery, with the recovery discs set, or the recovery partition (if you haven´t deleted it); and if that didn't help,
I would push hp to get me another model (better of course), as I did once :).

Have a nice weekend,

Mauricio.
