While the video extends correctly, the touch screen does not. When you drag a window from the primary to the secondary, it shows up on the secondary, but when you try to grab it on the secondary, it does not work. Wednesday, May 1, PM. Pyrexia, Thanks so much for your post. Thanks so much for your post! I did not install any drivers for this monitor because the OS recognized the monitor and says that the driver software is up to date.

I did not connect my monitor directly to the laptop. Right now, I have connected the monitor to the docking station through the standard monitor cable VGA. Since I installed windows 8 in a laptop that does not have touch capabilities, would the pen and touch option not be available?

How can I enable this option? Do let me know if you require any other information from me. It seems that Windows 8 has installed the generic drivers for the touch screen monitor that you have connected to your laptop and due to which it does not have the touch capability. If still you are unable to find this option to enable the touch capability for the monitor, then you may check if there are any updated drivers for the monitor model from the ACER website and if it is present, then download and install it and then check if that works.

Hope this information is helpful. You may get back to us for any further queries regarding this issue. I have an Asus laptop with Win 8. The questions is: will win 8 touch futures still work, with the external touch monitor, connected to my laptop through HDMI cable?
