    Greetings programs!

    I am thrilled to find the forum here to help me with my Toughbook woes. Thanks for the info to fix the touch buttons on the front panel.

    Now, I have a CF-19F (mkII) with a clean install, current and updated Win7. Only two concerns I haven't been able to fix. One, I have already posted on another thread about the failure of the internal speaker after upgrading from the Win XP it came with (the failure was immediately post-install).

    The other, which my thread here is about is to see if there is a way to change the touchscreen sensitivity in Win7. Is this a driver issue, something I can change in the registry, a program or script I can use to tweak, or is it hopeless?

    The touchscreen does not respond on the first tap, which I get that in Win7, it has to recognize the change from mouse to touch, but it goes back to touch-inactive within seconds of inactivity forcing me to tap, the re-tap. Then it seems like it takes so much finger or stylus pressure to get it to respond sometimes, while other times, it seems to be only moderate pressure is required. I have run all the Win7 & Panasonic utilities that have options, but sensitivity isn't on any of the choices I have found.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    How exactly did you install the driver into 7? Are you using the panasonic driver?

    I had a similar problem on my CF-29 (XP SP3) after downloading a panasonic driver, so I went to intel website IntelĀ® Driver Update Utility
    which has found automatically the good driver
    I hope it will be as simple for you
