Can't get dual touchscreens to work

I purchased two Acer T232HL monitors and I can only get the primary or main monitor to accept touch commands. The secondary monitor seems to recognize touch commands but passes the information to the primary monitor (in effect I can swipe my finger on the secondary screen and see a window on the primary screen move).

From googlesearching, I have discovered that I need to recalibrate the monitors through Control Panel > Tablet PC Settings". Problem is I don't have this option in my Control Panel and doing a search only turns up "Pen and Touch".

I like the touch features on my main monitor but it is getting annoying not being able to swipe a window between monitors.

wow, that's a problem I wish I could have. I have 1 Acer T232HL and would love a second one. I think you have a unique situation.

let me know how it goes! when prices come down, I might consider getting another touch (probably another brand that lets me lay the monitor flat or lets me rotate it to the vertical position).

I'd call Acer or Microsoft and see if it can be done. If there isn't an option for two calibrations I'd guess it might not work but I am strictly guessing. Unique problem for sure.

Reinstalling Windows 8 fixed it. I now have the Tablet PC Settings in Control Panel all is good. Dual touch monitors is great!

Thanks for all your replys.
