Set your computer back to an earlier day (system repair days before it happened)
It could be due to recent programs loaded

i was on a phone driving and the keys are small ill text ya about hour...

 

Have you tried reading some of the stickies here to find the download sites and then downloading the driver? Or try reinstalling it via Device Manager. Just update the mouse driver and point it to C:/Utils/Drivers/Mouse (or touchscreen) and let it go... It should reinstall.

There are some diagnostic software that will throw a wrench in the works by screwing with your drivers... ESPECIALLY Some of the automotive diagnostic software. AND especially if you are trying to several different types of auto software... I have a customer going through heck now as his Ford, Chrysler and Honda diagnostic software will make his system go haywire. He tried partitioning and installing them but they still don't like to play together.... So I was thinking about trying Virtual Machine to see if that would work.

 

yes i used honda fine and ford fine. its when i installed gm tiss 200 with a crack for the usb dongle that i think, think that it died. not sure but i took the program out and it didnt fix it. i reverted to first day i had it it didnt fix it. id like to find a way to reformat and hope thats it and leave it off and use my other one for gm. but what am i gonna do. the disks i dont have to reformate. hes sedind them to me now. ill try that. one thing i didnt do was take lcd cover off and look at touch cable i did look at the ribbons under keyboard they are fine. so its either a driver issue since an install or the cables. causei reinstalled driver like it should be and still no touch. the screen flips the mouse work its all fine just no touch. so im gonna pull the lcd screws and look at the lcd touch cable while waiting for the disks to formate and do oem install again. well see unless you all have other ideas? or where to get install oem disk for download ill do it now. i have cd key on the bottom and its valid for xp pro buti dont want to use just any disk for drivers issue. any other ideas ive missed?

 

As I stated... One of my customers had this issue and is STILL trying to sort it out. It may be that you need to partition the disks and run the GM program on another partition separate from the others. He has pretty much all the software for all manufacturers bit some of them will NOT run, work and play well on the same drive.... He even went so far as to buy extra hard drive caddys for extra drives so that he could plit up the ones that would and would not work together.

He too experienced all sorts of driver issues. Unfortunately... I doubt there will be a "quick fix" for you. You may need to play around for days or weeks to make everything work correctly.

But you can start out by reading the stickies on how to properly install drivers unless you have recovery disks. You can install XP from any XP Pro disk using the COA key on the bottom.. But them you would have to install ALL your drivers manually... Which can be a pain... especially on the CF-18/19 series.

 

im tryng to load xp pro back on my cf19. i got all the drivers on a disk i need. the guy wont send me the disk for it. so i was going to use a standard windows xp pro sp 2 disk. i downloaed on an dwent to install it but i got to cd key and it says invalid key? i know its lagit. could the xp disk need to be oem or something, why is it saying invalid key? i know its real a key? what version of xp do ineed to load this cf19 with...i can find one somewhere on the net im sure,.....i want a legit copy cause the keys good i just dont know what type of xp pro i need disk wise..any help would be great....

 

ok i got windows loaed and runing right and i went to dirvers page and got drivers for this thing. i cant get touch working again. when ig o into the touch cal screen i dont get all the buttons all i get is cancel and exit i think it says thats it. but i still have no touch. i dlownloaed drivers mk1 i think and mk2 wasnt sure ehich i need for my cf19chbaxbm, the way they list these seems nuts. so i tred both ones and nothing.i did the thing in the post here about going into c panle going to ps2 mouse have disk etc etc and it restarts and still no touch...what am i missing guys. i didnt do a formate load of windows it over wrote the old ones could it be that the windows still kept that driver in there thats giving me a fit and didnt delete it? i have factory disk comming tommorow and im going to trrey thaT BUT i have all the drivers for this thing i have to be missing something? please let me knwo what you think. i hav enoting loaded yet program wise other then all oem stuff and windows xp black..thats it

 

Look very closely at the COA and make sure you copied it correctly. If you have an XP Pro disc and the unit has an XP Pro COA, there is no reason why it should not work. I have used Dell discs for ages and they work fine. I would suggest installing the drivers manually, using the correct ones for your model. If you get the "this model not supported" when you try to install, just use a ZIP (freeware) program to unzip and then proceed. The install instructions that are in the same area as the rest of the drivers are a good guide as to how to install each driver. It can be VERY frustrating (I just got through with most of the drivers on a W7 install on a CF-18 MK2, but still have not got all of them to work), so take your time and let us know how it goes and if you need any more assistance.

 

ok guys i know im being a pain in the but i got the right oem rstore disk for this unit and did a full factory restores and nothing. the screen is fine the color etc etc. but the touch does not work. there are no yellow marks in the control panle but the touch does not work. is there a setting on the button thing thats in the task bar. its the configuration thing. its a left click right click hit this key plus alt. etc etc...its down in the icon bar of the task bar, is there a setting to turn touch on and of maybe i have unchecked somehwere? im lost and it worked till i did install of gm tiss but im guessing thats just considence now. i took key board out and all cabels to the eye look good. is there another cable for the touch maybe in side the lcd area that maybe got loose for the touch only cause the screen is fine like i said works color it flips when you hit the flips button everytinhg just no touch. with the pen or finger. i could use the pen or stylis if you will or finger before but nothing works now. i hit all the different settings on the mouse seetings. i can brnig up the touch calibration utlity but i cant use it. just with the touchpad or mouse but not the stylis or finger, nothing...guys im lost please tell me its a setting or maybe a loose cable for the touch unit only behind the lcd that may have came loose that works touch only....i have to get this working and the guy work do crap for me. he said touch. i hate to toss away 1000 bucks and not have the touch. this sucks please help folks....

 

If you have enabled it in the BIOS (F2 at boot-up) and have the drivers properly loaded you have a bad touchscreen. Your only hope my be fishing out some gunk between the touchscreen and frame bezel. Use something the thickness of a plastic soda bottle. (Cut it to about .25" X 2") CAREFULLY run it around between the screen and frame to see if you can get anything out of it. You can try the same thing around the touchpad.

If you do all of this and still nothing, if you are the original owner you may try a warranty claim... If not you have a bad touchscreen.

 

i am not oem owner i just bought it an dit worked ofr a day then stopped just stopped. is there a cable to look at for the touch only maybe. and yes its checked in the bios. how much is a touch screen for this unit do you know...this sucks the guy wont do crap i bought it from ebay but he sold it not in ebay to save fees and now i know why...i worked now it dont he swears it did for ever no issue sat all and he may be right as it did work when i got it...how do i check the connections behind the touch screen....is there cables back there maybe? something i can take apart and pray...if not is it worth the cost of a touch screen fo rthi sunit i got 1000 buck in it and i have no touch...this sucks i so thought it was a driver issue cause it stoppe donce i installe dthat gm usb dongle key driver...

 

You may be able to remove the LCD cover (fairly easy to do) and check that the touchscreen ribbon cable is inserted correctly into the little PCB. I have had one unit in the past where it wiggled out and worked great after I reinstalled the cable. But this is also symptomatic of the touchscreen going bad... You'll know when you try to reinstall the ribbon cable.

 

HEY BUD i took the two black side of to look at how to get to the lcd to check for the ribbons and theres a ton of screws all over this thing...you have a simple this and that to get to tihis screen i dont want to have hlaf the laptp aprt to get to the screen to get it out and look at cable....which ones if oytu know...

 

Did you bother to download a service manual for it? It shows clearly in there what needs to come apart.... Basicially you remove the three black covers and then some smaller screws around the edge.
If you do not have the service manual... Let me know and I'll try to email it to you...
