Turn on Touch Screen Pavilion 23

[RobKes]

I have a Pavilion 23-B219c.    Have only had it about 2 weeks.   I think, when I first set it up, there was a question about INPUT, and i selected "mouse".   But now the touch screen doesn't work.   How can i turn on the touch screen capabilities?  Thx.

Hi RobKes:

Thank you for your inquiry:

I understand that when you set it up, you unintentionally disabled the touch screen.

Please follow the steps below to re enable it.

• Press Windows Key plus C to open charms
• Click settings
• Type in Control Panel
• Open Control Panel
• Open Hardware and sound
• Select Pen and Touch
• Click the Touch tab
• Enable use your finger as an input

For your convenience I am also sending a link to a Microsoft document on "Touch:Swipe,tap, and beyond" click here

Please let me know the results.

Hi Sparkles1.   Thanks for the reply.

I get to Contol Panel just fine, and I get to Hardware and sound, but there is no "pen and touch" option to change.

I understand how frustrating these situations are.You stated your  are not seeing the necessary settings in the control panel.I would suggest you uninstall the monitor. Restart and then go through the setup again.

I hope this helps.  Please let me know the results.

The HP Pavilion 23 is an ALL-IN-ONE Computer.   How does one UNINSTAL the monitor.

I was looking at the specs for your computer ( http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/desktops/product-detail.html?oid=5365344#!tab=specs ) and it appears that your model does not have a touch screen.

Hi RobKes/

Select models of this computer offers Touchscreen. Your manual  click here.

If you are not sure if this is a Touchscreen model or not. you can check in the Control Panel. Press the Windows key +C to open charms, type in control panel. Open the control panel. Select system and security and open. Select system  and open. This screen should tell you if it is a Touchscreen or not. If this is not listed as a touchscreen and you wanted that option, you may want to consider returning this model and getting one with that option.  If this is a touchscreen model and you are still not seeing the Pen and Touch settings. you can either return to Best Buy as you suggested or as it is only about 3 weeks old it would be in warranty and you could call HP support.  Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. click here. Please let me know the outcome

Thank you all.    Checking the system in Control Panel.....it says "there is no pen and touch for this display"    So, thank you.   I must have been seeing a demo model that HAD that capability when i was in the store.

I own this model and it does have a touch screen.  Mine was workinmg great but now doesn't work at all.  I went to the 'pen and touch' feature and it says that it is unavailable.

Hi jco80,

A good first step is to make sure you have installed important Microsoft updates. Open the Control Panel, click the System and Security link, and then click Check for updates under Windows Update. Install all important updates, and then restart your computer.

In the Download options and information window, click Download . Follow the onscreen directions to download the driver. Restart the computer.

There's a slight chance that your touch screen driver may not be enabled. To check:

7. Restart the computer.
