| IT WORKS!!! (HELP: Just got my ELO Touchscreen and need help making ......) |

You've got the right drivers, that screen is telling you the controller isn't being seen. Can you see the touchscreen controller or is it mounted inside the monitor? One of the cables may be unplugged from it. You might need to crack the monitor open to get at it. There's a green LED on there that will tell you it's status. |

Keep in mind I never dealt with a touchscreen before .... it is probably obvious at this point :dizzy: .... so what do you mean by "can you see the touchscreen controller"? Is there something on the screen I should be looking for? I attached a couple of pictures showing the plugs used for the connection as well as the buttons on the front of the monitor. I have never touched any of the buttons on the front except for the power button (button all the way on the right). |

Did the monitor come with that serial cable? Or is it one you got somewhere else? Some serial cables have a crossover in them (null modem) -- perhaps this would be a problem? If you have another, try a different cable. Just a guess. :dunno |
| Knievel:
Yea that's true about the serial cable, I had that problem once. Your touchscreen controller is monted inside on that monitor. I would try swapping the serial cable and if that doesn't help then crack it open and we'll go from there. |

I tried 3 separate serial cables so far and nothing helps. I will need to wait until tomorrow to verify whether the pins on the cable go straight through with my cable tester. It is getting very late now and I need sleep ... so please check the thread tomorrow and we can go from there. I appreciate this help .... as I have no clue what needs to be done. BTW: I attached text from the help page regarding what type of serial connection is required. Not sure how to confim I have this type of connection. My computer which this is running on is a 900+ Mhz machine and is about 9 years old. ** Notice the last line of that text ..... mentions the controller will not show up in the Control Panel ..... maybe thisis my problem? Goodnight for now |
