I have an older tablet that I installed Windows 8 Enterprise.
It has worked, for the most part, flawless for a single point touch interface.
I had tried to enable pen flicks which did not work very well. I did this yesterday.
I then re-disabled it and I don't recall having any issues afterward but I only used
it for a few minutes before I shut the system down and went to work.
Last night I downloaded some cool Windows 8 wallpapers and today I decided to set
the wallpaper as the background. It worked fine and the wallpaper was nice. But then,
I could no longer swipe left-in to bring up the Charm menu. I didn't put 1+1 together
that it could have anything to do with the wallpaper. I was more thinking it was the
playing with the pen flicks yesterday, but now I am not so sure.
I think the resolution of the wallpaper was larger than the resolution of the screen.
Shouldn't it just shrink it down??
Driving to work thinking about the new problem I slapped myself in the forward that I had
JUST changed the wallpaper. But something so innocuous as changing the wallpaper doesn't
usually cause Windows issues.
Anyone else hear of the wallpaper causing swipe problems??? I can't bring my tablet to work
so tomorrow morning I will try to put the old wallpaper back to see if that fixed the issue.
Which is I cannot left swipe-in (from the right edge) to bring up the Charms menu.
