    I have a CF-19K...... that is a MK3 version. I have tried XP and WIN7 install (followed directions with correct drivers for both fresh install and Vista upgrade). I am a big fan of WIN7 but I just don't like how it operates on this MK3 CF19. The bios has a setting for the type of display, touch or tablet. In XP it selects touchscreen. In WIN7 it selects Tablet. Now this is NOT a dual mode display but the operating systems do treat it differently. In WIN7 it shows up with Flicks which I hate and also the front button for locking the computer actually just does a ctrl+alt+del instead of the windows key+L. This can't be changed like the other front buttons.

    If I force the bios to touchscreen while WIN7 is the OS it can't find a driver for the touchscreen and none have worked that I have tried.

    Has anyone overcome this? I want the front keys/buttons and touchscreen to work just like they do in XP but it just doesn't seem possible???

    Any help/suggestions?
