Windows XP/2000 Universal Driver SW500849 (ver 4.10) - Cannot hold a touch longer than 10 seconds

Overview

By default, the 4.10 Universal driver generates an untouch after 10 seconds of constant touch. The untouch time-out can be changed by modifying a registry key as explained below.

IntelliTouch controllers have a built-in two minute untouch time-out. This time-out will override any registry time-out value if the registry value exceeds 120 seconds (12000 milliseconds).

To Change the Time-Out Time for Serial Controllers

Run regedit

Drill down to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\SERENUM\
ELOSERIAL\*******\Device Parameters

NOTE: The "******" is the id number used by the Windows system

Click the Edit menu item, hover over New, then click DWORD Value; while the text is highlighted, type in the new name: UntouchTimeOut, then press ENTER

Click the Decimal button to view the data in decimal. Double-click the value name to highlight it, then key in the desired new data, in milliseconds.

Exit regedit when done. Shut down and Restart the machine (a restart is required before the setting will take effect).
