    Please help me oh great wise toughbook guru's !

    I have just installed windows 7 on MK1 of Toughbook CF-19CDGCAVM and after much head banging and hear pulling, everything is working sweet with Windows 7 EXCEPT the mouse cursor keep jumping to the right side of the screen and screen calibration.

    This is the digitizer only screen (not touchscreen), so I don't think it is a matter of cleaning debris out of inner lcd (but did that just in case, and unit is in mint condition anyways)

    System properties are without exclamation marks so it looks like all drivers are working as they should.

    If I hookup external USB mouse still get same issue as well, so I do not think it is a defective touchpad. Since it works often when I reboot I also do not think it is a defective LCD / Touchscreen issue either

    Since after rebooting this alone will quite often fix the issue...

    Any input is appreciated.

    thank you for reading

    Go into device manager and disable the microsoft serial ballpoint mouse in mouse properties
    Or download the gps driver fix from the downloads area
    Or hit F2 while booting and find the gps under serial properties and disable the gps

    Tomcat you are my new hero ! I will remember this and hopefully can help you as well one day.

    I disabled the GPS and it worked... So I am guessing it was a com port conflict then. I will figure out how to change the settings.

    u rock buddy !

    tectuff,
    It's not a port conflict, Windows thinks the data from the GPS is mouse input.
    CAP

    You have temp solved your mouse issues, but you now have a non functional GPS
    You will need to download the gps fix
    After installing you will be able to enable the gps in the bios

    "Registry patch to prevent Windows from detecting the (OPTIONAL) GPS as a Serial Ball Mouse and jumping the cursor all over the screen.
    This patch is specific to the internal GPS that can be provided by Panasonic".
