    http://files-upload.com/files/463855/GPSPI.exe
    ExtremeTech Hacking GPS is a book made by Katie Kingsley-Huges

    GPS Drivers for CF-28/CF-29 -
    http://files-upload.com/files/463875/GPS10100.zipGPSDRIVERS.zip
    Time Funtion is The same driver but was released for the CF-29 and will work with CF-28 -

    The Attached files are 2 PDF's and 2 Text,
    The first PDF is just a panasonic release explaining the setup of GPS -
    The secound PDF is the operating manual for the CF-28 -
    The third Text file tells you the solution panasonic made to the registry to help CF-29 with GPS
    The forth Text file tells you of panasonic and windows solution to the problems, my bet is on this one to solve the problem(the money shot)...

    djacid... Can you go back and put in a word or two about what each one does? I know what some are but not others... Hopefully some or all of these will allow me to finally get mine working! 100% of the time...

    PERFECT!

    Tell me though... Did you do the CF-29 Registry hack to make your GPS work? I'm still having issues. Even with it set to 3E8/IRQ11!!!

    well i did try it and was happy for abit as GPS ws working then went out and kept loosing signal here and there, then after checking it for 10mins using RCT, i notice it aint doing much at all, rather then go out ur way disabling it you be better of just disabling the mouse caus you'll still get the same amount of satelites..........
    theres another solution which removes serial at start, when i get back home am going to look for that and upload it here.........

    Also like to mention if you try the registry version and add the following values -
    Value Name: SkipEnumerations
    Data Type: REG_DWORD
    Radix: Hexidecimal
    Value: 0 through FFFFFFFE
    make sure you uninstall the serial mouse first which you have disabled in device manager, once you uninstall and then add the registry value restart your toughbook and windows will stop detecting the serial mouse so that problem does disapear but when you use ur GPS you will still get the same problem apart from picking up 1 satelite straight away..........
    if anyone needs help doing it then let me know and i'll write up another text file for you too download......

    This is what i have been getting;

    GPSPI.exe is not a valid win32 application.
    RCT-1.1.OBETA.exe is not a valid win32 application.

    and try only one time at the password on the gps extremetech and now it has locked me out of the file lol. :eek2: so i may have to delete it and download it again lol

    The password is ACID I believe. I also think you have corrupted files.
