I have see a lot of people asking this question and getting answers that supposedly worked. NOTHING I have found works for me.
I have a default Dell monitor that came with my Dell XPS 1700. It has Windows 7.
I recently got a great deal on a touch monitor for only $10. When I connect it to my computer, the touches go to the Dell monitor instead of the Planar touch monitor.
Here comes the problem:
When I go to control panel, tablet pc settings, setup, and try to complete it, I try to touch the touch monitor after hitting enter for the Dell monitor. NOTHING HAPPENS. The mouse clicks the main non touch monitor instead of the touch so i cant actually set the touch screen as the touch. I try clicking the correct monitor with my mouse. STILL nothing happens. I am really confused here and I really want to get this monitor to work.
Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Can you list what you've tried?
Windows 7
My first port of call would be display settings: Control Panel -> Settings -> Display -> Screen Resolution - set the the touchscreen monitor you wish to use as your Primary display.
Unfortunately in Windows 7 in a dual monitor setup, from experience, your touch screen will have to be the Primary display.
Windows 8; if you have both a touchscreen and non-touchscreen monitor connected to your PC, you might need to change settings for your cursor.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Search (or if you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search), enter Tablet PC Settings, and then tap or click Tablet PC Settings.
Tap or click Setup. Administrator permission required You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
If you’re given a choice, tap or click Touch Input, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Hope this helps :)
