CF-19 MK3 XP Pro or XP Tablet?

Hello all

I need help finding out what XP version should be on this MK3. I recently got this from fleebay and it has some issues, Hotlkeys don't work and the front buttons don't work. and some of the Panasonic software is missing. I'm assuming seller used regular DVD and did not install the drivers correctly.

My Decoding using the Wiki

CF-19PHRZXAM

P - MK3 1.2 ghz
H - 10.4 touchscreen (High bright?)
R - 160 GB hard drive 2 GB Ram (4 GB INSTALLED)
Z - No optional wireless
X - Wireless ready (ordered and waiting)
A - Vista COA with XP down grade (WHICH XP?)
M - North America

From the Panasonic configurator

Model Number: CF-19PHRZXAM
Status: DISCONTINUED
MSRP: $3,629

Description: No Wireless, WinXP (Vista COA), Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300 1.20GHz, 10.4" XGA Touch, 160GB, 2GB, No WLAN, No Bluetooth, Dual Pass, TPM, No Bluetooth, No Absolute BIOS, No Drive, Toughbook Preferred, replaced with CF-19VHRZX1M

Anyone know which version this should have so i can order the correct version XP. Im planning on having 2 separate hard drives w/caddys for this machine. 1st will be Windows 7 which i can install myself. 2nd will be XP. i would rather use the recovery DVD for the Xp install. I tried installing the XP drivers on my MK2 and never really got it to work right so i bought the Recovery DVD for the MK2.

Thanks

To my understanding, the touchscreens had XP Pro and the digitizer units had XP tablet edition.

 

The Screen reacts to my finger, so this should be XP Pro then?

Windows Tablet PC...
This edition is intended for specially designed notebook/laptop computers called tablet PCs. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is compatible with a pen-sensitive screen, supporting handwritten notes and portrait-oriented screens. Initially, a retail version could not be purchased separately from a tablet PC, but in August 2004 it became universally available at no cost as part of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. Unlike Windows XP Media Center Edition which is not available in a retail or volume license form, a volume license version was also made available.

Tablet PC Edition is a superset of Windows XP Professional, the difference being tablet functionality, including alternate text input (Tablet PC Input Panel) and basic drivers for support of tablet PC specific hardware. Requirements to install Tablet PC Edition include a tablet digitizer or touchscreen device, and hardware control buttons including a Ctrl-Alt-Delete shortcut button, scrolling buttons, and at least one user-configurable application button.

There have been two releases:

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition – The original version released in November 2002.
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 – The Tablet PC version released in August 2004 (codenamed Lonestar) as part of Windows XP Service Pack 2. The 2005 edition is available as a service pack upgrade, or as a new OEM version.

Service Pack 2 for Windows XP includes Tablet PC Edition 2005 and is a free upgrade. This version brought improved handwriting recognition and improved the Input Panel, allowing it to be used in almost every application. The Input Panel was also revised to extend speech recognition services (input and correction) to other applications.

Technology
A Typical Tablet PC Screenshot, showing a docked TIP from Tablet PC Edition 2005 and Internet Explorer 6

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition utilizes the Ink object as a means of data input and storage. This is a data type created as part of the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition API that allows users to manipulate and process handwritten data, including recognition results and, in some cases, the pressure information for each part of the stroke. Properties of Ink can be changed in much the same way as properties of other objects, and the data can be saved to allow future reference. Many applications referencing the Ink object also allow handwritten notes to be filtered and searched through, based on the recognition results stored when Ink is saved.

Integrated with the operating system is a Tablet PC Input Panel (TIP) which allows handwriting to be converted into text for use in most non-full-screen applications. The integrated handwriting recognition in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 can recognize print, cursive, or mixed writing. Accuracy can be increased by configuring the recognizer to expect left-handed writing or right-handed writing. Recognition in a variety of languages is available with the install of a recognizer pack. The handwriting engine cannot be trained to recognize a particular handwriting style, so the user must modify their handwriting to be better recognized by the system in order to use this feature effectively.

Speech recognition functionality is also incorporated into the Tablet Input Panel. Compared to previous versions, a substantially improved speech recognition engine version 6 (which also ships with Office 2003) and a tutorial, microphone wizard and training modules are included. It is possible to dictate text using speech in certain supported applications and control the Windows GUI and applications using speech, although the accuracy improvements further made in Windows Vista surpass these features. An update for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition containing Ink Analysis and StylusInput API support introduced in Windows Vista is also available.

 

Shawn,
I guess I have to spread something around before adding to your rep but :thumbsup:REP TO YOU:thumbsup: friend.

This should answer a few questions in another thread too.:hi2:

 

Does spreading "something" around involve a spreader that is pulled by a tractor?

 

When it come's from Jeff...yes

 

You got it ....nah this thing.:hi2:

 

Thanks Cap't and Jeff.

 

Thanks for the replys. So it does not really matter which version to install then? so which one should i order?

CF-19 Series Windows XP Tablet PC Edition SP2 Recovery DVD MK3-XT2M DFQM8447MA

CF-19 Series Windows XP Pro SP2 Recovery DVD MK3-XP2M DFQM8446MA

I already have windows 7 running on my MK3. will all the buttons working. Now i still need XP on my other caddy to run another Diagnostic software.

thanks again

 

I would go with the XP Pro SP2 Recovery DVD because your unit is a touchscreen, not a digitizer. That is what I would do if I owned the unit.
