I have had a two-monitor setup in an extended display desktop configuration on my Windows 7 computer, one of which is a touchscreen device, one of which is not. The built-in display is the non-touch laptop screen. When I first connected the touchscreen, the touch cursor would appear on the non-touchscreen monitor. This was extremely frustrating and I tried to find ways to cope. This was incorrect. A touchscreen monitor should not have to act only as a clone display forcing it to be a large trackpad. I tried to locate a solution to my extended screen problem. After many falls on my face, I came across a solution!!!!
1. Goto Control Panel.
2. Click on Hardware and Sound
3. Click on Tablet PC Settings
4. Under Configure, Click on the Setup with the yellow and blue shield next to it (setup guide)
5. Select Touch as the input type
6. This will then make the screen white and the instructions will request that you hit Enter to move to the next screen
7. Click Enter
8. Then touch the extended screen monitor.
9. PROBLEM SOLVED
Side thanks to Orin Thomas who pointed me in the right direction.
