Get the latest n-trig drivers down from HP and run the setup app.

When you get "fatal error" DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW!

Hit Win-R and enter %TEMP% before hitting enter

look for the latest folder and drill down until you see a file called something like "DPINST.EXE" (this may not be exact, I don't have the machine in front of me at the moment), right-click and run as Administrator.

Your drivers should now be installed and everything becomes a lot smoother.

Hope this works for you. Enjoy!

Slide inwards from the right side of the screen you should have a bar with five icons appear, one of them is the smart menu.

@jjthacker - genius :) That makes a whole lot of difference.

Seems like I only have 2 touch points now though?

Can we enable more than 2 on Win8?

@doddy - No idea I am afraid, maybe in the release version of 8?

@mou - Sorry, no idea then, it works on mine.

quick reply cheers jj

Wonder if it's a Win8 thing or an n-trig thing...

Doesn't really matter I guess - it's a bit of a brick anyway :)

@mou - does your tx2 Win8 install have only 2 touch points? I checked on the paint app or even better the piano app...

64Bit Win7 Driver for tx2 1020us

ok, now to the problem why I can`t dock apps.

I found the possible solution on HaiTeq blog.

it seems to be not possible to dock apps with a screen resolution smaller than 1366×768.

Thanks for your help mou - how can I confirm how many touch points I have?
Did you have to install n-act as well as the latest driver?

put so many fingers as possible to your display, lift your fingers fast and count the circles :D
or go to the control panel-->system, the is a small note how many fingers you can use

and yes I've installed n-act, too.

Hey thanks for your quick reply.
Nope only 2 points. Also I can't see an n-trig control panel option and there's nothing like that on Control Panel - System.
Just to check mine is a tx2 1340ea - yours?

When I run the n-trig driver and get the files from temp, there's an NtrigPanel.cpl but it won't start...

Hey, on the pic you can see:

left arrow: 4 touchpoints
down arrow: the small note I`ve meant
