    I have a Panasonic CF30 MK3 and use an external GPS device. I'm in law enforcement, we use an LE software that shows our vehicles on a map. Here recently, the software started to display "GPS not enabled." I don't know why or how this happened. Also, my VPN stopped working on account of all of this. Looking for someone to help me out with this issue rather than having to send the whole unit to California from Texas. Thanks in advance. James

    Do you have access to the BIOS?

    I finally got my GPS to work. For some reason the driver became corrupt, and i had to reinstall it. The VPN on the other hand, for some reason still will no longer work. I currently use SonicWALL VPN software with Windows 7 Pro. I used to be able to VPN so i know it worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. James

    I have ZERO experience and knowledge of VPN, so I am useless at this point.. :(
    Once you get it all working, I highly suggest making a recovery image of your drive..

    VPN= virtual private network. There is no special hardware involved, just software operating through your network connection. Your best bet is to seek advice from the purveyor of your VPN service or any user forums for your particular flavor.
