    Everyone,
    I just upgraded a Toughbook CF-28M from Windows 2000 to Windows XP.
    Xp found all the drivers except the Hotkey which I was able to get from the Panasonic site.

    However, the touchscreen is not working at all.

    I tried several drivers (mouse, touchscreen, touchpad) from two Panasonic sites as well as Modly.net but none of them work.

    http://www.panasonic.ca/english/customercare/sandd/softwareResults.asp

    The Panasonic ones show "This machine does NOT support."

    Most of the drivers seem to be for mk1 and mk2 models but I am not sure which one I have.

    The sticker says CF-28MBFGZDM

    I checked all the drivers in Modly.net under http://modly.net/CF-28/M/ and especially 'XP-Touchscreen-M.exe' but when I extract it and then try to update the mouse drivers Windows XP says that it could not find a better driver than the one that is installed.

    And yes, the touchscreen is enabled in BIOS and was working fine under W2K

    Any help is appreciated.

    PS: This is a MINT CF-28 that has never been used and sat forgotten in a closet for years. PM me if interested in purchasing.

    Rgds,

    TX
