POSPump exception when WinPOS.ini TouchScreen=No, preventing prepay processing from taking place on PFS.

If TouchScreen is set to No in the WinPOS.ini, WinPOS initializes POSPump with different flags (INIT_KEY_DESIGN_2). This causes an exception in POSPump, which in turn prevents WinPOS from handling background prepay processing.

Scenario:
1. Set TouchScreen=No in WinPOS.ini on PFS
2. Start WinPOS

Expected Results: POSPump should not crash, and WinPOS should process prepays

Actual Results: POSPump crashes and WinPOS relaunches it about once per minute. POSPump log fills with errors and grows uncontrollably (was over 1.5GB at the store). WinPOS is unable to process (balance) prepays since it cannot communicate to POSPump to get the prepay transaction information.
