Yes, look at that link Zorlac posted.

It does sound as though your TouchKit drivers think your touchscreen is the wrong monitor. It may be a problem/bug with your TouckKit drivers, but this would be the first I've heard of that.

Make sure Windows AND your TouchKit drivers both agree. In Windows make sure your touchscreen is 'not' your primary monitor, like this:



Make sure TouchKit knows that Monitor 2 is the touchscreen. Select and apply this a couple of times, and test it. When monitor #2 is selected it's text will turn white.

I don't trust these drivers, so I would try and set this up a few times. This is probably where the problem is.

If this is setup correctly, then when you do the Calibration test, the white test screen with the red Xs will be displayed on monitor 2. If you have selected monitor 2, but it displays the test on monitor 1, then Touchkit is bugged.

Also, try these Beta drivers. Most people have the best luck with these!!

Hope this helps!
