Touchsmart Software

I've had my Touchsmart TX2 for a year now and originally bought an OEM copy of Windows Seven Home Premium to ensure that my laptop was bloatware free. My wife had the laptop while I was gone, and now that I bought her a bigger laptop for school I got the TX2 back. So what touchsmart software do I need for photo's/DVD's/Music etc. other than the
drivers (got those just fine). I really like the look of the software but wanted all the trialware and other stuff I see as not needed and start from a clean slate (hah!).
Thanks

The original sw and drivers are most likely available from www.hp.com by entering your product # in the search bar on the home page or at the bottom of the homepage by clicking software and driver downloads. You would probably be best off to obtain a set of the recovery media to revert back to it's original factory condition.
Even though I work for the company this is my opinion and not that of HP.
Happy Computing.

Touchsmart software crash in one profile

My 2 day old touchsmart 300-1125 is not responding to the touchsmart software. It instantly freezes and can only be shut down or returned to windows via a control alt delete command.
This only happens in one of the four profile I have set up on the computer. All other user profiles work ffine with the touchsmart software and windows 7/
Any help of idead appreciated.

Yes, I know about the overlap stuff.
Like I said, I was working on it and re-arranging stuff on the page when I discovered the bug.
Actually, I worked around it like this:
Copied the MCListBox to a blank VI.
Created a generic property node.
Linked the property node to the MCListBox.
Set the AUTOSIZE ROW height false
Set all the row heights to 23 instead of 25.
Pasted the copy in place of the original in the control I was working on.
That's what I wanted to do via dialogs, but crashed instead.
Thanks for your offer, though.

Reinstalling TouchSmart software after a clean install / upgrade of Windows 7

I have an HP TouchSmart 610-1150xt. I have no use for much of the preinstalled software, so I would like to perform a clean install of Windows 7. At the same time, I would like to upgrade the preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate. In addition to all drivers, I would like to reinstall the TouchSmart software. I have already made system restore disks to recreate the factory state, if needed.
Ideally, I would also like to reclaim the hard disk space currently occupied by the recovery partition. During the clean install, I would like to create two separate partitions -- one for the OS and applications; a second for only data.
I have performed numerous clean installs of Windows in the past, but have always had access to copies/licenses of all applications to add to the clean OS. I have downloaded all drivers from the HP website, but cannot find copies of the preloaded software. While the application manager currently allows reinstallation of preinstalled software, it is not obvious that this option would be available from the recovery disks (or the recovery partition) after a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate.
Are individual copies of preinstalled software available from HP, perhaps on an FTP site? If so, how can I download these programs? If individual copies of these applications are not available for download, can they be accessed from the the recovery media or recovery partition after performing a clean install/upgrade of Windows 7?
Thanks.

Did a Google search: here's something I found: http://blog.ehuna.org/2009/01/how_to_reinstall_the_hp_touchs.html ...

Touchsmart Software Question

TouchSmart 610-1280qd
Thank you HP for supporting this system for Win 8 upgrade. I really liked the TouchSmart software though. Does HP have any plans to upgrade the software to be compatible with Win 8?

Hello Ken1766. I understand you're wondering if you can use the TouchSmart applications within Windows 8.
I took a look at your notebook's Software and Drivers page just to make sure the applications hadn't been posted.
Have you tried installing the applications in Compatibility Mode? This installs the programs in such a way that the application thinks it in using whatever version of Windows you tell it. This is particularly helpful in cases such as yours in which the applications have not been ported to Windows 8. Take a look at this article from Microsoft. The section labeled "Run programs made for previous versions of Windows" is the section relevant to you.
If you feel that this is helpful or just want to say thanks make sure to click the white star under my name. This gives me a Kudos and I really appreciate it!
I hope you have a great evening.
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Update to Touchsmart Software

I tried installing an add on app from the touchsmart community. The message I got back was that I don't have the latest version of the touchsmart software. Tne I ran HP Update and it says all my software is up to date. Does anyone know how I can update the Touchsmart software?

Looks like HP has pulled the previous TouchSmart updates that were there. We will have to wait until they release the next updates for TouchSmart. In your case, you can check the download page for the IQ506: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2100&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3752245

Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

Touchsmart software for IQ524

I updated my IQ524 to Windows 7 sometime ago and afterwards the Touchsmart software never worked properly. I tried all the updates and suggestions on the support websites but it never seemed to work correctly. I deleted the whole thing and haven't used for many months but would like to now give it a try.
I installed sp44643.exe (HP Touchsmart Application Update) and it will install itself but the minute I open my whole screen resolution changes to very large and blurry icons and font size. I can open programs and use the software but don't know how to correct this screen resolution issue.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Tom

Was that software on the PC or was it added by you after purchase? If it was on the PC from the factory, then the Recovery Media should have reinstalled everything to make it the same as when it was new.

Touchsmart Software upgrade

Looking for software upgrade of touchsmart software like the upgrade Windows 7 from touchsmart 3 to 4 for Windows 8
touchsmart 600-1120
Windows 8 64bit

you have to disable the graphics card driver to update to windows 8, it will look a little choppy but thats cause hp hasn't released a supportive graphics driver for windows 8. I sure hope Hp updates the graphics driver soon.

Touchsmart software is disabled in Canadian version - not true to advertisement

Despite the following advertisement : http://www.hp.com/canada/products/landing/touchsmart/final/touch3.html#/Apps
Many of the touchsmart applications are not available in Canada. Specifically, recipe box, weather, music store, link etc.
Apparently they were removed becasue they are not bilingual. My wife, who I bought the computer for, was very dissapointed not to have recipe box.

thats a shame...
you can download the recipe update from the Touchsmart 600-1055 PC software and downloads, which is really amzing because its a canadian PC!!! - i think this is the ONLY PC that has it for some reason. I know the 600-1070a doesn't have it either and that has no multi language issues. Apparently the 600-1070a comes with "Touchsmart 3.0 Ultimate" (What ever that means) and to no surprize according to the 600-1055 omes with the same suite of software??? Someone is holding out on it if you ask me..

Using network drive in Touchsmart software

I am totally new to windows7/mce and touchsmart and trying to figure out whether to use Windows Media Center or Touchsmart sw or other to play music, video, photos etc.
However, it seems that the Touchsmart sw cannot use files from my home server, where I have all my music and photos.
Can this be true??? I mean, this makes the entire sw suite completely useless?

Hi David,
Touchsmart 2.0 Music Software is unable to access network drives unless you create WMP music Playlists. If you have a couple of thousand Music files then this would become very tedious quickly...
However Touchsmart 3.0 Music is able to access network shared drives, for example:
HP ENVY 17-j005tx Notebook, HP ENVY Recline 27-k001a, HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 G2020T, HP MediaSmart EX495 Server, HP MediaVault 2020, HP ENVY 120 AiO Printer

Touchsmart Software and HP Software

Is there anywhere I can download it from, I had to have a new hard drive installed and none of the touchsmart or HP software. I have looked at the HP site and couldnt find much there. Why doesnt HP supply recovery disks with its product? I am after the touchsmart web cam software and HP Diagnostics software. THanks for any help

HP provides you with the method to create your own Recovery DVDs, it nags you quite frequently until you tell it to shut up and stop asking.
If you did not make your Recovery DVDs you can purchase them from HP for under $30 US.

Missing touchsmart software

I just aquired aan HP touchsart IQ506 and had windows 7 home edition with 32 bit OS. Everything works great but can not find the software/house icon to activate the touchsmart screen. I have tried to depress the house icon button on the lower left of the case to no avail.
What if anything can i do?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
Valkrider

No worries. There is a learning curve for everything.
You can access it via the Computer Management --> Disk Management Windows snapins
You should be able to see the partition in Windows Explorer
I will edit this once I read your earlier posts to see which OS is installed.
Take a look at the TouchSmart FAQ.
The Windows 7 Touchscreen driver (Voltron) I finally found it!

Iq524 touchsmart software update after installing windows 7 upgrade

After upgrading to windows 7 , and opening up the touchsmart program, there are icons at the bottom that look identical for the webcam, hulu, and the browser. They look like a picture of a monitor( blue and white) with a hand and finger pointing upwards. When you drag them to the area above, there is nothing there except a black screen. The icon is gone from the bottom tray. When you left click on the black screen. a small circular moving halo appears and then it just stops. I have upgraded all the drivers, one at a time as suggested in some earlier posts. Is this an hp software compatability problem with windows 7. Makes you want to go back to Vista Home Premium that came with the IQ 524 model. Any divine guidance?

I gave up on windows 7 upgrade. Venders for some devices have not even supplied drivers for some things yet. Very untimely and too much of a rush to windows upgrade always a problem. "If not broken don't mess with it." Someone said that awhile back and that is the best advise.

Is there a way to use my own PNG and/or ICO files within the TouchSmart software?

I have an IQ526 running Windows 7 x64.
Everything runs great... except the mechanical Volume Up/Down/Mute on the unit's right-hand side has stopped working... but that's not my question.
Actual Question:
Is there a way to add some of my own PNG or ICO files to use within TouchSmart.
Some programs have the ugliest default icons so I'd like to make things look a little nicer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello XCroupier:
No you can not use your own pictures in Windows 7 for icons. Only as desktop background. Microsoft took a way that feature from us. If you upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate and download XP mode the windows xp theams will work only if they are compatible to graphic card. In HP Touchsmart 3 software click on personalized and then on create a tile. Then click windows program then click on advance. Few more choices icons will display. Not knowing the icons format doesn't help us. Not only that but there isn't a way to add them into icon window. Thanks to microsoft for taken our creative ways of setting up our own destop like XP Version had. frrw
