Using the touch screen and the touch pad at the same time on Windows 8

How can I use my touchpad and my touchscreen Windows 8? I use Acer and it seems that whenever I get I have TO use the touch screen and my cursor is non-existent. I'm sure there will be a setting I can change to be able to use both at the same time, but so far I can't find answers online or elsewhere.

Help, please!

Hello green,

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

What is the model number of your PC Acer laptop?

Thank you for your query details.

I also like the fact that you want to use the touch screen and press the key at the same time.

Unfortunately, it is not possible. However, you can use touchpad of precision which uses a variety of touch gestures to get around your computer. Touchpad different gestures are provided in this article.

You can also make changes to its settings to adjust the duration that your touchpad stays off as you type so that you can avoid accidentally tapping the touchpad with your thumb and move the cursor.

I hope this information helps.

Please let us know if you need more help.

Thank you

  • Uses the same drivers as Windows 7 Windows 8?

    Hello! I was wondering if Windows 8 uses the same base drivers under Windows 7. I considered dual-boot on my old Windows 7 computer that had defective drivers, to avoid the risk of my newer computer. Would I be able to dual boot and have different drivers, or Windows 8 uses the same drivers on Windows 7? On a side note, it would even work, or have I missed some crucial detail?

    Windows 8 and Windows 7 share the same driver model. Windows 8 comes with a standard set of class for the peripheral communes drivers. Usually, drivers that are preloaded with the OS offer basic functionality and you must go to the website of manufacturers of device for drivers optimized for the device, this includes devices such as your video card or a printer.

    According to the edition that you run, you can keep your personal files, applications, and settings. Apart from that, I recommend strongly dual boot with your existing operating system rather than replace it with the output preview Windows 8. Preview release is still in heavy development and do not replace a copy of production Windows with it (be it XP, Vista or Windows 7).

    Hello:

    Your model has the AMD/Intel switchable graphics.

    It is unlikely that the W8 AMD graphics driver will work on W8.1.

    Normally, you can use some of the drivers W7/W8 on W8.1, but the graphics is very doubtful - not switchable graphics anyway.

    You can run the windows 8.1 upgrade wizard and see what it reports.

  • How to set up a USB Microphone and a headphone audio jack at the same time on Windows 7?

    I recently bought a CAD u37 USB microphone for use in various records and a commentator game on Youtube when I came across a problem. When I plugged the microphone all other sounds immediately extinguished and I couldn't hear the game. I tried to unplug and re - plug in the headphones and the microphone, even play with no helmet without result.

    I did some research and found out it's because the microphone is automatically configured for audio input and output and the card sound/headset, not having a configuration. I've recently considered buying a $5 female jack audio converter USB to work around this problem.
    Will this work, or just be a waste of money? Are there simpler solutions like a flick of a switch of audio control panel configuration? Are there any programs that will allow me to configure the audio and input output? Is it still possible? Thank you!

    Hi Ben,

    I suggest you try to connect USB female to the converter audio jack, this should help to solve the problem with simultaneous USB microphone and audio input jack using headphones.

    If you have any more questions, respond to this post with the State of the question. I'll be happy to help you.

  • Is it possible to have a connection to printer wireless and wireless Internet at the same time with Windows Vista?

    I'm trying to connect my wireless printer while maintaining my wireless internet connection. Is this possible?

    Hello ScottWatt,

    Thanks for your post.  Yes, however, there is a specific way to go about it.  Since you have wireless internet, you probably have a wireless router.  In this case, you must change your printer settings to connect to the router. You can find information on how to do this either through your manual, or online from the manufacturer's Web site.

    Then you would connect your computer to the Wireless internet connection as well.

    From there, both your computer and the printer would be on the same network, just install the printer on a network and you can surf the web and print wireless.

    See you soon

    Original title: I'm operating a windows 7 and I am the only operator. I'm used to Vista. All I want to do is to highlight several files and delete them from Documents in the trash.

    I'm operaating Windows 7 and I was used too using Windows Vista but I do not have the Remove feature that I outsourced either by organizing right clickng on selected files/files. I also have Norton Antivirus installed.

  • Ability to download multiple images at the same time on Windows?

    I would use Revel for storing my photos, but must be able to download my photos to have a personal backup. I intend to have my updates have taken place since my Android phone, but when I try to download on the site it just allows me to upload one image at a time. Is it possible to download multiple images / my entire library when you run Windows?

    You are right on adoberevel.com, you can only download one photo at a time. Mac app allows the selection of a group of files to download. This feature has been requested for other platforms and is on the wish list for consideration in future versions of revel.

    The other option is of 12 elements. Users who have their pictures put in place in mobile albums in the organizer of items have a current automatic synchronization between the organizer and revel. If you put autoupload in place on your mobile devices, this essentially gets then you a copy on your computer and access to a copy in the cloud on all of your devices.

  • Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

    I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

    It is lifted directly from my EULA:

    1. GRANT OF LICENSE.
    The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that
    comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:
    1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,
    display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on
    THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used
    by more than two 2-processor both on the
    COMPUTER, unless a greater number is
    indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
    Then...
    This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
    I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
    However...
    If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!
  • Vista to 7 using the same disc?

    I have Windows 7 64 bit on my Sony Vaio laptop that I had to buy that copy on it has stopped working, a $179 I was planning on spending and my dell vostro 220 which has windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit, I was notified is no longer supported, can I use the same disks of Windows 7 to upgrade my obsolete vista which has a reaccuring virus I can't seem to get rid of. I kept the dell in good shape, maxed out the memory, added a graphics nVidia video card. I know it's up there in age but I am now disabled and simply not have extra money for a new office using the copy of Windows 7, I bought 64-bit would be really useful because I'm familiar with 7, and I really don't want the headache of 10 plus expenses. I saw all kinds of ways to burn copies of Windows 7, I don't know I have confidence in them to work. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

    No, the key that can be used with 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 is exclusively for use with the disc 1. You cannot use install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely. If you want to install Windows 7 32 or 64 bit on another partition or another computer, you must purchase an additional license.
