Prevent touchscreen disabled message

19 Mar 2018

With the Allegro 2 and Archer 2, turning off the "touchscreen disabled" message requires a Windows registry key change and then soft Reset. The key and utilities for doing this are in the SDK. They are also included in the following information and web link.
