Windows XP Pro x64 - Touch Calibration is Off! - Page 2

I don't know what kind of drivers the Mimo uses. Does the Mimo use TouchKit drivers? You might need to try new drivers, or these old ones might work.

When you calibrate your touchscreen, it uses the current resolution of your monitors to calicate the coordinates of your touchscreen x/y position. But when a game resizes the main monitor the drivers are supposed to adjust for that. Sometimes they don't and your touch is then off.

You can try calibrating your touchscreen with the game monitor at the resolution of the game, so it does not resize it from where you calibrated it. But I think drives is the real solution.

The TB Toolkit is only for editing profiles, so it won't help with your touchscreen calibration. Just so you know..

And it looks like the MiMo does not use the TouchKit drivers, so I would not install them unless you know it uses them.

I would contact the manufacturer or find a forum specific to the touchscreen devices.

fair enough

this "when a game resizes the main monitor the drivers are supposed to adjust for that. Sometimes they don't and your touch is then off" i get the feeling this may be it

ill try drivers and noodleing with resolutions to see if i can find a sweet spot

thanks again

So one of two things got it all working perfectly...

I actually went to Mimo Monitors - customer support and installed the win7 Beta Touch screen driver (manually uninstalled and installed new driver rather than let Win update itself)

Got TB running, started IL2, alt-tab'd out of IL2 into the calibaration app, went thru the calibration...quit IL2, restarted all again -> works perfect

Oh and I did use a Wacom stylus to calibrate the screen so may have been super accurate which may have helped

OK so one of 3 things or a combo of one or all the above - hope this helps someone
