There is no multi-touch driver for the IQ790 and there most likely won't be. Has to do with firmware/hardware. I doubt you'll get much of a useful answer from NextWindow, but I don't know.
Hello
I am wondering if there is a multi touch driver available for the IQ790.
As far as I know this model also uses the NextWindow Hardware which is multi touch capable and uses FTIR but as of yet the driver they provide is only for the IQ500, IQ800, and DX9000 series: http://www.nextwindow.com/nextwindow_support/windriver.html
Does anyone know if a multi touch driver will be provided by them or by HP at some point.
In theory I believe the model should be able to handle two simultaneous touches at once as oppoosed to the models which use N-trig hardware and can support more than two.
From looking at the NextWindow website the main difference between the IQ800 and the IQ790 is a different firmware revision in the touch hardware (this could mean that if the firmware could be updated then maybe the driver would be compatible with the other models).
I tried contacting NextWindow but they have not replied yet.
The touch driver installed by default uses mouse emulation mode so the screen is not even detected as a touch screen by Windows 7 although single touch does work.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Yes still no answer from NextWindow. Doubt I'll get one.
Oh well single touch is still good.

Hello Jakub
On my machine single touch just worked straight away.
The touch screen even worked during setup in Windows 7.
Try looking on Windows Update. If the machine was not connected to the internet during setup that might be why.
The screen works as a mouse emulation device on mine. This does mean that Windows does not detect it as a touch screen but if you install the multi touch driver from here: http://www.codeplex.com/MultiTouchVista then althoguh this driver uses multiple mine to simulate multi touch it also causes Windows to enable all the multitouch features and tablet features.
