    I have downloaded hotkey drivers, tablet button drivers etc, but I cannot get screen rotation or the buttons to work.

    I attached a picture of them, hope it works.

    Help anyone? Touch screen works good, and I have unknown device in device manager that should be this issue.

    Don't use the hotkey drivers, wipe your drive and use the 1-click bundle.

    That is if you don't use Winshit 10 on your 19 Mk4.

    unfortunately I have no choice, GM only supports windoz.

    Also, I posted this on the top sticky but maybe it'll go unnoticed:
    Is the CF-19 MK8 with 16GB ram able to make a notable difference from an MK4 CF-19RHR...? I love my CF-19 but its a little laggy these days, I use it for running GM diagnostic programs and they are getting resource hungry. Some input from experience could save me some money.

    Just get a Mk7, the Mk8 makes zero sense and is even slower than a Mk7.

    Check whether those lags are CPU related. Maybe you just need SSD instead of HDD + more RAM + some optimization.
    Of course MK5+ have mobile (not ULV) CPU's, 35W TDP vs 18W, and they are significantly faster. Look for MK6-MK8, they have same CPU's.

    I have SSD and 8gb of ram, that is the max I am told. Apart from that it works well for an older PC. Thanks, I think I found a low mileage MK7, glad I posted and got to see the past thread posted above. MK8's are a bit higher in price too.
