    I just recently got a used cf-w2 up and running with xp pro(sp2),

    AND I was able to download all of the drivers except 3 from panasonic's website (after registering), One other driver I found online (I think driverguie.com),

    HOWEVER, I still have 2 devices in device manager that I can't identify and can't find drivers for.

    I double checked and downloaded all of the drivers for my model # again from panasonic's website, and still no luck...

    Here is all the info I know about these devices:
    (info available by clicking on advanced tab for each device under control panel, system, device manager)

    1: base system device Location: PCI bus 1, device 5, function 1

    2: unknown device Location: on Microsoft ACPI controlled System

    Could anyone who is running XP check device manager and try to discover what these devices are, and what the file name of the drivers that they are using is?

    OR any other help tracking down alternate driver sources for the cf-w2 (earlier version 900mhz) would be VERY greatly appreciated

    THANK YOU!

    I think 1 might be your GPS and 2 might be your hotkey driver... Maybe touchscreen driver.

    You might want to buy a driver CD from someone on ebay.

    Hello!

    The easiest way to resolve which devices are they is to go in device manager-properies of device and look to vendor and device id. write it down and search for it in google or on this page: http://www.pcidatabase.com/ and you will get exact name od device you looking for.

    Regards and greetings from Slovenia
