Can you change gestures to open up programs on Windows 7?

You can setup custom gestures in certain programs, I am not sure if you can use the mouse to open a program though.

Mine is not a touch screen, but I think touch is available as an option. Windows 8 I believe.

Yes, you can map shortcut keys to specific buttons and have multiple programs setup with different profiles. Works really well for any repetitive processes.

I don't believe so... nothing documented anyway... run it in desktop mode and download Classic Shell.. it gives you a full working start button... Windows 8 feels like 7 after that..

I believe only buttons and shuttle mappings back to the keyboard. I don't think you can program mouse movements.

Don't do this. Windows 8 brings a lot to the tablet; the new start menu may seem silly on your desktop computer, but on a tablet with a touch screen it is a compelling improvement that you will (really!) quickly come to appreciate.

the only programmable thing I have been able to do with it is, use a s-pen gesturing program to turn off the touch screen ( so only pen works ). as far as I know there is no way to program it on its own. it would be up to the art program you sue to let you apply a setting.

Yes go to return to an earlier time , in the desktop , then into settings , open and look for earlier modes , but must warn you my friend that performed this , did it successfully , but found he couldn't get back windows 8 once returned to 7 , hope this helps .

Sorry if this answer is a bit late - only 4 months lol. By default, those buttons will launch or switch to things on your Windows taskbar, in order from left to right. So say on my task bar, I've got Windows Explorer pinned next to the start button, Chrome to the right of it, Notepad++ to the right of that, etc - if I hit the 1 key, it launches Windows Explorer, 2 launches Chrome, etc. If they are already open, it will switch to those programs instead. These keys can be changed to launch other things instead, in the keyboard software. Hope this helps!

No, not if you mean interacting with the laptop's screen. It just has a touch pad that allows touch-screen-like gestures. For example, you can swipe to scroll up and down, side to side. A three finger swipe from the top of the screen will close an app.

not really... the surface registers your finger movements like a touch pad... and it knows when you press a right or left side click... but there are no special buttons that can be programmed in any way. it does work with windows 8 very well.

If you are using windows 8, try with both index and middle finger.VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kWvh1drcCoHope this helps.

Yes, there is. Depending on the program, it will appear automatically. You can also select it from the taskbar.

I found a better alternative. You can get a Windows 7 interface, including the full Start button, with an easy free download from classicshell.net. This avoids the expense and troubles associated with changing operating systems and preserves the speed and power of Windows 8. There are about 4 million downloads of this software, so it is pretty popular. There are other softwares that do the same thing, but that is the one I used.

Yes. Any program or application which runs in Windows will be able to take input from the keypad.

It will work, the Windows and Alt key will act as the Command and Options key. Although, they will be reversed, this can be fixed with a program called Double Command.

Yes. Above the keypad, on the laptop, there are three buttons. The first one is the settings button and if you click on it a window will pop up with a bunch of different settings and turning the touchpad of is one of those options.
