    I installed WIN7 PRO on my CF19 MK3. I have used the proper drivers from the Panasonic site. I have played with WIN7 on the unit before and have always noticed the same issue. The front panel tablet "lock" button actually performs a CTRL/ALT/DEL rather than a WINDOWS KEY/L. So basically the computer doesn't lock right away like it would with XP.

    Is there a fix for this in code somewhere or do I need to contact Panasonic about the issue.

    Thanks

    In case anyone is interested, Panasonic says the function of the key is to do a control+alt+del. Stupid.....

    It needs to be Ctrl-Alt-Delt. Otherwise you can't unlock the device using the button on a tablet computer.

    You do when it it "locks" you have to enter the user password to unlock it right? The on screen keyboard makes that simple if you are using in it in the actual tablet mode. This button performs just like it should with XP loaded but they change the function of it with windows 7.
