So I bought one of those ELO touch screens and I connected it to my ATI Card through an Dvi-d to normal computer vga chord adapter. It seemed to work fine but then I have these issues. Here's the link to the ebay sales page http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220609445598

1. Whenever I do something on the main screen the second screen (the 15" ELO) flickers. This happens whenever I scroll down a webpage or even open mozilla
2. When I change the resolution it shutdown my computer... i'm not given a reason why
3. The 15" only has an option of 2 resolutions
4. Sometimes both screens go blue, and there's nothing.. then it comes back. This happens randomly. =/

I also can't get the touchscreen part to work, I installed the windows 7 driver and went through the calibration
*edit* I should mention that wen I first went into screen resolutions the 15" screen had many resolutions to choose from, I chose the highest one.. and then it went black and said something about not being able to display 75hz then it restarted
*edit* and now it just bluescreened D:

switching around the video plugs fixed most of the issues... uhh yeah ???
The only issue I have now is that the touch screen responses come out on the main screen rather than on the touch screen. So if I touch the top left of the touch screen, something happens on the top left of the main screen. Weird.

Jut in case anybody cares :angry:, I figured out how to setup the monitors. My touch screen was serving as a mouse pad for my main screen.. whenever I touched the touch screen the click transferred on to the main screen... which is pretty useless. Here's what worked for me in case it happens to anyone else again. *note: first try doing it without these steps. On my laptop it installed fine without having to go through all these steps*
1. Make sure your video chords plugged in all the way
2. Connect both screens you hope to use and Make the non touchscreen the main screen
3. Disconnect your main screen (the non touch screen) and the touch screen will automatically become the main screen
4. Install the ELO driver and calibrate the touch screen.. everything should be working fine on the touch screen
5. Connect the LCD screen again and now it will become the main screen automatically
The touch screen should now work fine
