Hello guys. I ask for help in forums very rarely. Usually I search and research and try and solve problems my self. But this one just killed my hopes... As title says I can't get Win 8 to work with my Acer Aspires Z5771 (all-in-one) touch screen. Everything works fine except screen responding to a finger touch. On Windows 7 all worked perfectly well, as soon as I upgraded to Win 8 screen decided to disable it self. I have done everything I can think of... I have put different HDD with Win7 in and touch screen started to work again, than went back to Win 8 and same happened. I have went through every single setting, but didn't get any luck, I tried searching for touch screen drivers for this model but didn't find any, than downloaded different model touch screen all-in-ones drivers - that didn't help either. I have spent couple days googling for this issue but to no avail. Please help me, throw everything you have got at me.
Acer Aspire Z5771 touchscreen does not work on Windows 8
- Thread starter woxa
- Start date
Did you manage to get it fixed yet? I upgraded today and not able to find the software for the touch screen. Cant get touch screen working at all.
I have same pc

I am having the same problem.
I telephoned Acer Support on Friday, (26/10/12), when Windows 8 launched, but got no help at all. After a long and expensive call, I was eventually told to contact Microsoft.
Which I did.
But I got no help from them either. After an even longer online session, where my computer was controlled by a guy at Microsoft, I was told by him, (Jody G), that all he could do was tell the "higher ups" about the problem.
I think we will just have to wait for a new driver to be written or go back to Windows 7.
It is all very frustrating, the reason I got the Z5771 was that it had a touch screen and I was looking forward to it running under Windows 8.

Hi all, same touchscreen issues and I've noticed the media card reader doesn't work either along with a few minor programmes like clear.fi.
I too have spoken Acer and Microsoft with no joy, there's no clear time frame for any drivers either.
p.s woxa, did it reinstall media centre when you went back to windows 7 as I've last that as well now on windows 8.

Just noticed the remote doesn't work either, anyone else with the same issues
Any good blueheels did it work? Just about to restore to win7
Went back to win7pro via the 4 recovery disks I made when I first bought the pc. All works fine now as its should. I personally shall wait now until this pc's drivers are all compatible with win8pro. Could be a long wait as Acer didnt now when the drivers would be ready.
It's Acers responsibility to sort the drivers and they had no timeframe when I waisted an hour of my life talking to them. Acres customer service is shocking to say the least

Hi guys, I am currently experiencing the same problem with my Acer Aspire Z5177 touch screen all in one. I bought a Window 8 Pro a year ago, and only recently install it, cause I heard that the window 8 was not stable, just wanted to hang on a little longer for it to be settled. However; I am now experiencing the same problem as you guys did awhile ago, could anyone help to solve this problem, or is there a new update that I have missed? the volume of my speaker not working efficiently since I have install this window 8 pro, also the touch screen feature is disable. please could anyone help?! Or should I go back to the Window 7 instead?
I installed windows 8 and then went to 8.1, the first time I installed pro the installation failed and messed up my pc. I had to do a complete reinstall. I would see if there are any drivers out there to help you. The only hardware problem I had was the screen and it was fixed but since then I have disabled it. Sorry couldn't be more help to you.
Hi,
If you go to the Acer site - Driver dowmloads
http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/drivers
Put the model number in
Then select Windows 8 (Upgrade from windows 7)
You'll then see the option to download the updated Touch - Ideal Com Driver
Worked for me hope it does for you
Can you explain your solution? I've Z5610 (Windows 8.1) and touchscreen don't work. Thanks.
I went to the 8.1 upgrade drivers page (even though I did a fresh install) and installed the touch driver and it works great now.
