Touch features on the SX2210T monitor may not work due to following reasons:
- The SX2210T Touchdriver* was not installed. Some users may mistake the Dell Touch Zone software to be the SX2210T touchdriver, which was pre-installed in to the PC when ordered.
- A known conflict between the NextWindow touch application with the Dell Touch Zone software version (V1.2.1.8.A04) which disables the touch function in SX2210T.
- The Touch feature is supported only by certain operating systems.
Note: When installing the TouchScreenTools found in the CD, 2 programs are installed, these are:
- NextWindow Touch application
- SX2210T Touchdriver (required to enable touch function on the SX2210T)
Note: Due to the age of this monitor Dell does not host drivers on the Dell Drivers page - drivers can only be accessed via the original CD and also these may not be compatible with OS's post-Windows 7

SX2210T Touch Screen Monitor Driver Recognizes Touch Input Only From the Primary Display
When 2 or more SX2210T monitors are connected to the same PC, the touch feature only works on the Primary SX2210T monitor. This is because the touch panel driver only recognize one touch panel at a time.
This is working as designed.
