Lenovo Yoga 3 - Touchscreen Doesn't Work?

I bought a brand new Lenovo Yoga 3.  Part of the attraction was the ability to use it as a tablet with the flip screen.  However, after the first reboot, the touchscreen does not work.  I checked and I am current with all updates.  It's a bit ironic that the one unique thing this laptop is supposed to do does not work!  How do I get it to operate?  Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help with this.
