    I put a fresh install of xp pro on my cf-18 mkii, and after lots of fighting i got all the drivers installed. im finding it impossible to calibrate though because the cursor is like the exact opposite of the pen to the point where i cant even hit the cursor targets.

    any ideas?

    i just noticed that even though all the drivers installed, the hotkey and tablet buttons dont work, and the display wont rotate at all unless im double clicking the systray icon to do it.

    annoying

    AHHHHH. two reboots later i changed nothing and it stopped working again!! the cursor always goes the opposite direction of the pen, and i cant calibrate it. With the cf-28 style calibration tool i can calibrate it, but it wont save (parameter something) and with the pen tool it wont work at all because i cant hit it with the cursor.

    as goes everything with toughbooks i fixed it and dont know how, but it works. i just need to get the auto rotate or at the very least the rotate button working. the brightness button on the front works, but the rotate doesnt. i have to double click the icon to rotate

    u are a soliloquist? :)
    I think u need a better concept for ur work than drinking.... ;)
    What happens, if u start to recognize ur hardware in the device-manager? Any yellow questiontags?
    Had u uninstalled the touchpad- and pen-driver and reinstalled with the correct driver?
    Also installed the hotkey-driver?
