=======================================================================
                     Touch-Device Error in OS/2 Warp
=======================================================================

Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION

When OS/2 Warp is started, a touch-device error is received.

If the incorrect IBM Touch Device was specified during Selective
Install, the error message will be received when the system is started.

RESOLUTION

Statements in the CONFIG.SYS that relate to the touchscreen should be 
remarked (REM) out.  These lines would now be for the pointing device.

1. Turn on the system. If it is already on, perform a shutdown and then
   press Ctrl+Alt+Del.

2. When the small white box appears in the upper-left corner, press
   Alt+F1.

3. At the Recovery Choices screen, select C to go to the command prompt.

4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and remark-out (REM) the current statements
   for the touch device. These statements would now be for the pointing
   device.

5. Save and exit the file.

6. Go to the OS2\DLL subdirectory and delete the TOUCALLS.DLL file.

7. Type EXIT and press Enter.

In the mouse panel of Selective Install, IBM Touch Device refers to the
8516 Touch Display. For the 95xx series of Touch Monitors, the drivers 
are supplied with the monitor.

For an 8516 Touch Device, touch support can be installed by selecting 
IBM Touch Device during Selective Install.

The CONFIG.SYS lines for an 8516 Touch Display are:

   DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\PDITOU02.SYS CODE=C:\OS2\TOUCO21D.BIN
      INIT=C:\OS2\TOUCH.INI
   DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\TOUCH.SYS TYPE=PDITOU$
   DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VTOUCH.SYS
   RUN=C:\OS2\CALIBRAT.EXE -C C:\OS2\CALIBRAT.DAT
   DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\MOUSE.SYS TYPE=PDIMOU$
   DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VMOUSE.SYS
   DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\POINTDD.SYS

A 95xx Touch Monitor uses MTOUCH drivers. These are on the diskettes 
that come with the monitor. They can be installed by opening an OS/2 
Window session and typing the following at the command prompt:

   x:INSTALOS drive:

where x is the drive with the IBM Touch Monitor Installation Diskette, 
and drive is the drive where OS/2 is installed.

The CONFIG.SYS statements for the 95xx Touch Monitors are:

   DEVICE=C:\MTSOS2\VMOUSE.SYS
   DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\POINTDD.SYS
   DEVICE=C:\MTSOS2\MTOUCH.SYS BUTTONMODE=LIFTOFF
      TAPTIME=832 TAPDISTANCE=22
   DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\MOUSE.SYS STYPE=MTOUCH$
