Make the front buttons work on CF-18?

Hi guys,

I got a CF-18 off ebay, and per my previous experience, it hardly works so I am reinstalling all the software & drivers.

Now here is the issue: there are a few buttons at the front side of the cf-18, they are: brightness, software keyboard, enter button, screen rotation button, and a "key" button. Here is the problem: the brightness button works good. The "key" button brings up the task manager. However, the other three do not work at all. Any idea?

The model is 18D with digitizer touch, and the OS is XP Pro.

Thanks!

 

Ok if you have a digitizer you need Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
and with the touch you need XP Pro
Did all the buttons work before you did this ?

 

1) None of them work when it came off ebay, that's why I restall them. Now, 2 works, 3 of them do not work.
2) Yes, it is digitizer pen (must use the digitizer, finger does not work), and the digitizer works good with Win XP Pro. (I don't have tablet eidtion disk).

 

What is your full model number ? Did you install the tablet buttons driver and the tablet button manager application ?

 

Someone else just had that problem. This is what they did to fix it.

Basically he had to find the right combo of drivers from digitizer and touch models plus the wacom driver for it all to work right. (that threads post 7)
