    Using touch screen for inputing...

    Well finally getting everything installed and working...in the car I'm pleased. However, I wanted to type in the run command line: and realized that I didn't have a keyboard... So then...i'm thinking...well this sux...should the touch screen software have the on screen keyboard built in?

    thanks in advance

    Windows XP (and probably 95,98, & 2000) has a on screen keyboard, in Accessories -> Accessability

    I have a similar question. Sometimes i don't shut down properly before removing power to my computer. this causes it to go into safe mode. the problem is that in safe mode, usb doesn't work (at least the touchscreen i have doesn't), so i have no way of restarting in regular mode. When the computer is booting and it says hey do you want to go into safe mode, i cna't type the correct option with no keyboard. Any way to disable safe mode completely in windows 98 SE?? thanks

    .

    When I'm testing my system, I've always connected a keyboard until I've worked out the kinks...


    Its a pain but if ya wanna correct stuff its the best way to go.


    I suggest XP also.

    Thats pretty cool, I tried CTRL+ALT+DEL but it didn't work. I also tried pressing enter afterwards, no response.
