I wouldn't bet on it working unless I had an upfront assurance from the vendor.

You might be able to find out who makes the touch screen if you poke around HP's web site looking at all applicable manuals.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20334676 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:16:38 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20334647 PetePuma : I'm sure it's made by a third party, but you won't know the driver and manufacturer until you have the laptop in front of you. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20334647 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:13:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20334582 DuPontK : I'm pretty sure the touch screen feature is made and manufactured by HP its self because in the specs it says nothing about what manufacturer makes it just HP

If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20334433 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:42:38 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20334425 DuPontK : If i buy a laptop with Vista and it has touch screen capabilities and I lets say format the hard drive and wipe it clean then install windows XP, will it effect the touch screen feature.
A guy from future shop told me if I do that then I will lose the touch screen feature.
Thanks!
