Hi All,

I'm using DosBox on my HP TouchSmart TM2 with Windows 7 x64 (multi-touch display).
Touchscreen sort of works in mouse capable old dos box games under fullscreen, the only problem is the range of the mouse is scaled ie a small move of the finger/stylus on screen represents an extreme move in dosbox.

It works slightly better under windowed mode.

Is there any way I might be able to overcome this? It seems to be just a case of screen resolution or ""mouse"" (touchscreen) drivers.

I'd be grateful for any thoughts. Old games are wicked using touchscreen otherwise.

fry the mouselock option in the configuration file.
but it will never be perfect as a lot of dos games are only interested in relative movement instead of absolute position.
