There are three (3) monitors on this system. Two of them are Dell 2407WFP-HC LCD monitors and one is the Acer T230H touchscreen monitor. The Dell monitors
are connected to an NVIDIA Quadro FX3500 and identify as monitors 1 and 2. The Acer monitor is connected to an NVIDIA GeForce 7600GS and identifies as monitor 3. The system is running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, with current updates. Everything works properly
except for the touchscreen feature.
As instructed I used Tablet PC Setup to configure the touchscreen. In Setup, Dell monitor 2 reports incorrectly as having touch input available, and the Acer monitor 3 reports as NOT having touch input available - also incorrect.
When I touch the Acer monitor, the cursor appears on Dell monitor 2 and moves according to the motion of my finger on the Acer monitor.

Touching the touchscreen monitor causes the cursor to appear on a different monitor in a Windows 7 multi-monitor system

I also discovered that I could fix the problem by declaring the touchscreen monitor to be the primary monitor.
