HOWTO: Install Windows 7 on a CF-18 mk1

Is this the standard video card or the optional dam video card?

Sorry it was too easy to pass up...

 

i must have tried now the instrucions for the vid driver install at least 15 times, just keeps rolling back to the standard vga
hope someone can help me to get this sorted, only thing im stuck with to enabaling all funtions of my cf-18

 

Did you read the entire thread? Others have had video driver problems.

 

yes ive read the thread from start to finish
still cannot resolve my issue getting vid driver working the link for the hp driver earlier in thread is dead so cant get that to try

 

Please quote the post that has the dead link. Otherwise I will have to read 13 pages....
Make it easy for me and I will be able to help...

 

I read the wrong post,link was for 915 driver on page 8, wouldn't be correct for my device with 82852
also running cmd as admin ect, following istructions to letter
im now ageing rapidly with this, man ive tried all afternoon, no go, still reverts back to standard vga no matter if disabled 945gm after notification that 82852 has successfully installed

 

well im about to give up on the display rotation, no matter how many times I try it will not work, even tried in safe mode just keeps reverting back to standard vga
is there any other way or drivers I can try

desperation is kicking in now
but I may have to just do without rotation as ive grown weary over the past week

 

I'm not sure if rotation still works on my CF19 with W7 or not. I know I was having trouble getting it to work....

I would think if you use the Vista driver it would rotate...I do know for sure that any driver other than the Panasonic drivers will NOT rotate on a CF19.

 

right thanks for the reply
bit of an update, messed with this till 2am this morning with the bit between my teeth,
ive gotten rotation to work with the front panel rotation button, but it will not auto rotate, I used the Panasonic 6.14.10.4497 driver, ran cmd prompts as per 1st post, then ran driver from setup exe as admin and vista compatibility, i then restarted, booted to safe mode, used same process , rebooted again used F8 whilste restarting, used the disable driver enforcement in the safe mode menu, pc booted up, in device manager I now have under display adapters in device manager 82852/82855 and if I look at its properties tells me its working correctly and doesn't revert back to standard vga after reboot or shut down
, but I do have in other devices, 1 video controller with exclamation mark, any attempt to install driver for this then buggers my working 82852/82855 driver after reboot,and lose tablet button function rotation,
I guess im just gonna have to settle with this for now, spending tooooo long trying to get it sorted and the wife not best pleased lol
just please after I got tablet button to rotate
I used acronis true image 2015 to back up complete pc to external usb h/drive after I got tablet buttons to work, this has been invaluable whilst trying to get the other video controller to accept a driver, also I do not have the intel gfx extreme icon in taskbar probs because of the none working video controller having no driver installed, but hopefully at some point I will have another attempt to get full functionality, just thought id share this info incase someone has similar issue,
not sure if this would work for anyone else , but this what worked for me

great place to be this forum, a wealth of info and im pleased to be here

 

Glad you got it work somewhat.
Bravo on making a backup...

 

also just fitted a aftermarket screen to my cf-18 mk 4, easy 30 minute job and everthing working great,
using this tutorial on youtube
as on this mk 4 (touchscreen,windows 7 installed) I was suffering from anytime I touched the touchscreen my mouse would go straight to bottom right corner, bad screen
im now a happy camper

 

right i need a little help, on my mk4 touchscreen, I cannot get the tablet buttons to work, everthing else works great, I believe the touchscreen needs the hotkey plus driver and manager to get these working, but when installing the hotkey plus driver to the unknown device in device manager tells me its blocked due to compatability issues, how do I overcome this??

 

no one got any ideas how to get the tablet buttons to work on my mk4
really has got me beat, I think ive tried just about all the drivers available

 

Hi all
My CF18 MK4 is working really smooth with Win7 Ult and this very good instruction. Sometimes it was a little challenge but most the time things went fine. Everything is working including a new HD SSD Transcend 128GB.
Many thanks to rcx

 

has no one got an image to upload of a mk4 touchscreen with windows 7 installed,
I have tried numerous ways to get the tablet buttons to work on my mk4 touchscreen , but to no avail
im now desperate
alls well on my digitiser with 7 installed, all functioning correct
but the dam touchscreen is a b***h to get the tablet buttonds working

 

This website prohibits us from discussing/sharing drive images.

ALL touchscreen/hotkey/video drivers MUST MUST MUST be official Panasonic releases.

Try Vista drivers if Panasonic released them for a CF18. If not try Vista drivers for a CF19 mk1..

As stated 100's of times on the board, To eliminate compatibility warning, after you download the official Panasonic driver , use winzip or 7zip to extract the driver package from the downloaded file....Yes I know it's an exe file...Yes it is an archive...
After the files are extracted you can install them on anything you want to with NO warnings...
If Windoze if throwing the warnings and not the driver package hit the install anyway button...

 

ive tried the above steps cf-19 drivers are tablet button, and tablet button manager,
I need hot key plus drivers and hotkey plus manager I believe for touchscreen model?
someone correct me if im wrong

 

Trying going back to post #101 and read that page on how they got his going. It might help you. http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...ws-7-on-a-cf-18-mk1.418424/page-6#post6427114
