Windows XP/2000 Universal Driver SW600071 (ver 4.40) - Cannot hold a touch longer than 10 seconds

Overview

By default, the 4.40 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 (120000 milliseconds).

To Change the Time-Out Time

Run regedit or regedt32 (click Start, select Run, enter regedit)

Drill down to

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • SYSTEM
    • CurrentControlSet
      • Enum

        for serial controllers:

        • SERENUM
          • ELOSERIAL
            • *******
              • Device Parameters

        for USB controllers:

        • HID
          • VID_04e7
            • ********
              • *****************
                • Device Parameters

NOTE: The "******" entries are id numbers used by the Windows operating system

• Double-click the UntouchTimeOut key
  • The Edit DWORD Value dialog box opens
• Click the Decimal radio button
  • Value displays in decimal (default: 10000)
• Enter the delay time in milliseconds
  • 60000 is 60 seconds

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