    I have just done a fresh install of xp pro sp3 on my cf-18 mk2...I have everything up and running with the exception of the touchscreen keyboard application. and the front panel that controls the screen dimmer, keyboard, screen rotation tool ext. is not working either. I have read in other forums that you must install the drivers in an exact order(i didnt do that since I read it after I was having these issues). I have tried to reinstall the drivers and such but to no avail. Am I going to have to do this all over again or is this something that can be easily amended?

    I have had success with this before, BUT, not every time. So, try uninstalling all items on the "must install in order list". Then, following the said list, reinstall each in turn, in order. If you can, avoid rebooting until it is all done as you do not want windows to pick anything up on its own. So, uninstall (don't reboot), reinstall in correct order. Like I said, I have had this work before, but not every time. If I had to say, it would be about 50/50.

    Hope this helps...

    I think the stickies link to how to get them working... It is fairly easy but you have to install the drivers in the proper order.
