CF-28 drivers for win xp (sp2)

Hey all! I've been looking for this all night...

So last week my CF-48 crashed and I just got my CF-28 in the mail today. After loading windows xp (sp2) on it, the touchscreen hasn't worked and I haven't been able to find drivers for it anywhere. The one's from the panasonic site say "This machine does NOT support" when I try to open the self-extracting file, could this be because they are for sp1 or something?

Anyway I've been trying to figure this out all night and it seems like you have a lot of good insight on this forum so I'm hoping I can find some ideas here...

if it helps the serial no. on it is CF-28MCFGZEMBKB, oh, and the touchscreen worked fine when I got it with windows 2000.

This is Modly's site and he has most there.

Just reread your post.
I would check Modly’s driver list on his site and download the driver from there and reinstall. He has not let me down yet.

 

Modly...you are up...

He has the drivers for ya somewhere. I have a nifty little program that finds and downloads all the missing drivers for me...

I believe if you look around you can find his post that has a link to all the drivers you will need.

Edit; If you need other drivers, I don't have them all labeled yet properly. I'll go through them right now actually...

 

ahh he beat me to it...doh!

 

I changed it a bit, so some drivers are easier to find.

There may be newer drivers out there for some things, but these are a start.

 

It should be fair to note that the touchscreen driver needs to be installed as an update to the mouse driver. I believe you, Modly, had this spelled out very nicely on another thread. It really helped me get mine working. Perhaps we can reiterate it here, or attach the link?

It's pretty easy, and I can't find the old thread that has a great explaination... so I'll just re-explain it.

Open up your device manager (Start>Control Panel>System>Hardware (tab)>Device Manager), and select your mouse (Mice and other pointing devices>PS/2 Compatable Mouse). Click the driver tab, then the update driver button.

Select "No, not this time", press next, "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)", hit next, "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install", hit next, click "have disk...", click "browse" and select the new .inf file from whereever it was installed.

Run through that (It'll ask if you want an uncertified driver installed, so hit continue anyway), and it'll be running.

If I missed a step, it's because I'm going on memory and I'm on my Mac.

 

MACINTOSH!!! Wow, I just lost like a TON of respect for you Modly!!! LOL

Heh, I've been using Macs since 1987, and was an Apple Certified tech when I was 16. Worked at an Apple authorised service center for 3 years too

I never owned a windows machine until I was 18, and it ran a dual boot setup to Linux the whole time.

Just incase anybody was wondering (And I'm sure gravitar figured it out with my Guinness hoodie, and ragged goatee), I'm 23 now.

 

Hey thanks a lot, that file with all the drivers took care of it. Touchscreen works fine now.

I do however have a different prob now- something happened with my keyboard where it mixes up some of the keys (several of the letters type numbers). I'm pretty sure this worked at first when I installed xp then just randomly happened a bit later. This same thing happened with my old CF-48 and I just figured it was a hardware issue so I've been using a wireless keyboard, but now I'm thinking otherwise. Anyone else have this happen to them or have any ideas on fixing it?

Thanks again for the help

 

Hmm... Now that's a good question.

Do any keys in particular do it more than others (Or seem to be the only ones?)

 

Yeah there was a text document that had the run through on installing the drivers in that download. It got me through it painlessly.

 

here's what it does:
qwerty456-
asdfgh123
zxcvbn0

(instead of this:
qwertyuiop
asdfghjkl
zxcvbnm)

It was working fine earlier and then started typing like that. I thought it was really weird that my old toughbook did something very similar... hmmm...

 

Your number lock is on

 

oh wow... so typing that out brought a bit of a pattern to my attention... numberlock was on...

 

Hope you didnt toss that old 48 yet....

 

no the keyboard on that really was screwed up (I spilled a drink on it and almost all of the keys were messed up), and I stopped using it because it won't start up anymore
