    I'm using an Acer T272HL Touch monitor. It's a windows 8 compatible monitor, I hooked it up, the computer installed all the drivers for it. I went into the Control panel to enable touch and I can't find the pen and touch menu. It seems that it has just disappeared from my computer all together. Some help on this issue would be nice.
