I'm almost afraid to ask this question, but here goes...
Is it possible to make a touchscreen work on a Windows 8 guest running on a Windows 7 Host?
I am a teacher and would like to have my students install Windows 8 on their Windows 7 host machines for the many advantages that virtualized machines provide. I've played around with it but can't seem to get it to recognize the touchscreen? Is it possible? If so, what settings, tricks do I have to complete to make it work?
Thanks for any and all help...

I forgot to mention that both guest and host are 64-bit and that I am running VB 4.3 and I have tried all the "pointing device" settings.

Re: VirtualBox and Windows 8
I found an article that indicates that Windows 8 with Touchscreen is possible in VB 4.3, but I still have not gotten it to work.

Re: VirtualBox and Windows 8
Has anybody else tried to get Touchscreen to work with VB? Any experiences that you could share?
