Hi All,

I just got a dell venue pro 8 one of the things I'm having issues with is pinch to zoom when in desktop mode. Mainly I can't do it. Any ideas? It is supposed to work right?

Hope this is the right forum.

Thanks,
Tom

You need to have a touch screen and you put your fingers together on the screen and then separate them or do the opposite but you must be touching the screen!!

Does it work in the desktop version of Internet Explorer 10/11?

If so, I guess it's program dependent, and many haven't jumped on the "touchscreen bandwagon" (just a guess).

Well it works in metro. Just not when in desktop mode.

The dell venue 8 pro is a tablet. So definitely have a touch screen... pretty sure I'm touching it also ��

Firgured it out. You can't zoom the desktop in desktop mode and chrome doesn't support it. However open up IE and you are good to go.
