I am actually running Windows 7 and also ensuring that the application starts in Administrator mode, still with no luck.
Problem is that it is getting harder to buy non multi-touch surfaces (for focus remotes, etc) and I am not too keen on having to go back to an 11 year old operating system to get an application written in 2013 working correctly.
Hopefully someone from Barco can give an update on when they expect to release a patch to fix things up.
Hog 4PC running on a PC computer is not responsible for installing drivers to support the touch-screen component of the PC. Windows is in control of touch-screens in this situation.
What version of Hog 4PC are you working with?
Can you also please provide the specs of the computer?
So using HOG PC a couple of times recently i noticed that the virtual console does not respond (faders, Knobs and palette buttons) to touch (or mouse input) until you grab an item from a grop directory.
I'm having the same issue with an Envy 23" HP computer.
It is a clean installation of Hog 4 1.2.1.
Just to echo the two issues that other people have been talking about:
First, after interacting once with the front panel, it locks you out of further interaction. I haven't found that doing other things affects that; I'll give that a try.
Second, after a random amount of time (and doesn't seem to be based on interacting with it), it seems like the software locks the Pig key on. Numbers, specifically, start doing strange things. If I hold down CTRL, though, everything can be put in normally.
The program is set to "Run as administrator" and in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
I tracked down the strange control issue that I was having. Whenever I used the alt+tab keys to switch windows (generally, between the Nano main window and the front panel, for encoder control) the controls bug out. Instead of typing numbers, the number keys select cue lists. I can hold down control to return behavior to normal.
To employ simple lighting troubleshooting, the behavior is identical with all keyboards that I've been able to try, including the virtual touch keyboard that you can bring up in Windows 8.
I was not able to figure out a way to undo the change of the control scheme.
