Windows XP/Vista Universal Driver - Cannot hold a touch longer than 10 seconds

By default, the 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&PID_xxxx
              • ********
                • *****************
                  • 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.
