Venue 8 Pro Touch problems in desktop mode
I use Amazon cloud player, and it is nearly impossible to click on a individual song or album using the touch screen. Why is this and does a mouse help this? I feel i shouldn't need a mouse to click on a song or album to play. Any help would be great!
PS-This is my first post so sorry if it has been asked before?

Thanks Jay for the idea,
I'm going to try to reinstall it after I updated all the dell software/firmware updates. Hopefully this will help. I love the cloud player app and I really hope Amazon release one in the windows marketplace. I was wondering if a stylus might help with pinpointing the song or album. Anyone else have an idea?

I was just able to log in to Amazon and play a song out of my cloud storage using IE (without the Amazon client).
I have found that using pure IE allows resizing of the screen using the fingers.
Not all apps allow for this, including Chrome.
Maybe this will help.

Install this. I got the tip from another forum and it is awesome for clicking and dragging tiny things on normal pc desktop program. I use it in "float" mode and have it on my taskbar next to the keyboard icon.

Love the Touch Mouse Pointer software. The latest version works great with the Venue 8 Pro and makes the teeny desktop objects manageable. I ordered the Dell active stylus for note taking.

THANK YOU for sharing this! The "touch mouse pointer" is quite a nice enhancement!
I have physical touchpads on all my laptops and wireless keyboards. This is beautiful.

I also have a stylus, which I purchase for OneNote. I have found myself using it more for pointing and clicking.
