had someone send me a really interesting question and uh so you know because someone sent me an interesting question I figured I better do something with it they asked me if I'm running Windows 8 and I have one touchscreen monitor and one non-touchscreen monitor what happens if I want to have something like a game running in full screen on my non-touchscreen monitor and I want to be doing something like say for example browsing the internet on my oh whoops see habit right just SEC on my touchscreen monitor how does that work can I have a full screen application running over here while I'm you know browsing the entertainment news about Liam being caught flirting with a mysterious woman or whatever else is going on so what happened was I set up the touchscreen monitor and I ran into a very strange problem check this out guys if I take my HDMI cable and I plug it into my touchscreen monitor all right normal things happen you got your sort of your monitors and your whatnots and your all that good stuff so watch this though oh okay that worked right right right okay I'm about to show you what's what's sort of weird about it so if I pressed Internet Explorer and it worked then what happens is I try to oh it's working now shoot funny story now that I fixed it I actually can't replicate the problem because I've fixed it already but I'm going to explain what happened so I had my test bench running right here I added a touchscreen monitor to use as a secondary monitor to test what that uh what that Twitter follower had asked me about okay so I plugged in my HDMI connector and I went okay cool now I'm ready to go so so I immediately started using the left monitor as a touch screen I went oh okay I'll launch I'll launch Internet Explorer and then I went okay now I'll close internet explor but what actually happened was because the BenQ monitor was my primary monitor My Touch inputs here were registering over here so even though these icons are in the left corner of the Ben Q if I went like this in the corner of the Acer it would open up this folder right here so I kind of went oh well this is stupid stupid so then by going into display options and here I can show you guys what I'm doing because I've got my fancy dual camera setup here so by going into display options I was able to change the Acer to my main display this immediately fixed the problem because what it did was it made it so that now I could touch on here and it would work so I was like oh okay now it's all fixed so no big deal so I'll just go back and I'll change to the Ben Q being my main display because this is my gaming display this is my 120 HZ panel that did not fix the problem the problem ended up being caused by some weird setting within the control panel so I'll show you guys where that is all you got to do is open up your control panel and then search for tablet go to tablet PC settings then you're going to want to change the monitor I actually you setup and then you end up with a little thing that looks like this touch the screen to identify it as the touch screen done now you have the option to go through and do things like calibrating it or whatever else you want to do this fixed it so permanently that I'm not even able to demo the issue for you so there you have it thank you for checking out this impromptu lineus Tech tips episode on how to configure a
