Disable touchscreen which is secondary monitor

[saltlyck]

I have a setup where my plasma is my primary monitor and a touchscreen monitor is running as secondary. Gamex runs fine until I touch the touchscreen. Then it goes haywire. Gameex or an emulated game being played at the time minimizes and I have to hit esc to get back to the gameex main screen to fix things. The simple solution would be to disable the touchscreen via commands on start and exit of gameex. Does anyone know of any commands or software that would do that?

It depends on how the touchscreen interacts with your PC. You can pretty much do anything from command line so that would be the way to do it (LaunchBefore/LaunchAfter).

Eg. I found this on the Web for a Wacom touchscreen. This enables and disables the Wacom service. You can view your services by select Start->Run type in "services.msc"

--StopTouch.bat--

net stop "wacom touch service"

--StartTouch.bat--

net start "wacom touch service"

If it's a particular driver you need to disable/enable you can use devcon.exe. For more info go here. To view your drivers select Start->Run type in "devmgmt.msc".
