Touchscreen calibration & bluetooth on Windows 7 Ultimate on CF-30

What the hell? Where did that come from Rob? I must have typed that when I was passed out.

Please let me know

That did NOT come from me.

OHH crap! that's my bad!

 

FIXED! Sorry man! I had the wrong thing on my clipboard from toughbooktalk.com!

 

Well it could have been worse! You could have been talking to your girl friend in chat and posted something really good for us

Rich I'm not sure what you have going wrong, but I have checked mine twice now and the CPU is at 0 to 3 % at idle. Are you using the Bios update that I'm using. Double Check. You may have to do a clean install like Rob and I have done. Rick is doing one now and will give us a third report. As Rick said make sure you delete. partions and format the hard drive when starting over.

Why are you loading a Video driver? The Windows 7 driver works fine.

 

I never did a fresh reload... (Well I did a while back) I just updated all the drivers with the ones we are all using now and all is well!

Thanks

 

If you do a clean install do as Tougbook2010 says. I would go as far as to zero the drive. I have had problems reinstalling windows on machines even after formating, as stuff does not get erased. This happened when I reinstalled 7 on my CF-19. I reinstalled to remove every last bit of nero 9 which is not the nero I know. It was a huge bloated mess and would not uninstall right. The only reason i had upgrade from nero 6 is that 6 does not work under Windows 7.
Anyway after a format, restore of vista and reinstall of Windows 7 there was still nero 9 stuff showing up like in media center and some associations. I had to zero the drive for that to dissappear.

 

CRAZY MAN! I've never had this problem in the last 6 years with any OS! Very weird!

 

I have reformatted mine but have not installed and tested all the periferals like handwriting and PC Info, etc.... Will do a full write up when finished. Transferring music now... 16,548 songs.... Phwew!

 

Win7 + Rick's Toughbook = World's heaviest iPod!!!

A different issue but still a noteworthy one. My touchpad scroller only seems to work within W7... Not the web... Maybe then sporadically on IE8... But instead of Chrome this time... In installed the latest version of Mozilla....

Anyone?

 

I am under the impression that the reason I can not get the hotkey video overlay (aka the blue box with the battery power, mute unmute, etc) to work is that the Win7 video driver doesnt support it. I also taught the reason I get very high CPU usage when loading the hotkey appendix is due to having the wrong video driver.

I don't mind reinstalling, if I knew what exactly i needed to do to make everything correct.

I am running the Vista upgrade BIOS

 

I did NOT install the video driver on mine.. I'll have a full post later... But normally install the INF file... Well that's out as we can't really use that with W7 as it wasn't made for it. Then video.... When I tried that it came back and said, "Are you REALLY sure that you want to go from version 8.15.67 WAY back to version 5.2.34 or something like that..... W7's video driver is fine and has NOTHING To do with the hotkey issue.....

So to keep this brief... When you install... Do sound first, then hotkey driver, hotket appendix, hotkey settings, etc.... I'l have mine up and running. The TS is PERFECT... But I am having issues with the fingerprint scanner (I need to find the software) and also the touchpad scroller... Which is driving me even more mad than the touchscreen issue was!!!

 

Okay... I'll take guesses at this point.... As long as I don't have to wear an aluminum hat...


No.... It's not actually me wearing the hat.... Duh...

 

As Rick pointed out about the video driver. Here is the order im using. Make sure you use the Bois file From Robs download. Read the PDF.
I'm only installing the drivers that i have listed. Windows 7 has the rest of the drivers.

This is REALY weird... I thought that is I disabled "flicks" in the touchscreen that I might get back my scrolling functionality... But this touchpad scroller just seems to have a mind of it's own... I'm wondering if I shoul roll-back the driver to MS and then try another type...

Thoughts?

 

I just loaded the windows 7 driver for the MK3 mouse and it's working but very fast scroll. You might give that a try. Roll your drivers back first before you install. I hadn't installed a mouse driver yet untill just now. So it was using windows 7 driver from dvd. We get rid of one problem and create a different one.

If you guys don't load the Panny drivers how are you able to make the adjustments to the programs? Like the Touchpad, etc.

I have never loaded the OS without loading all the Panny drivers. I might be wasting alot of my time????

 

We are using Panny drivers... Just not the exact ones for out machines... Sort of .... TB2010... I came to the same conclusion and came on here to post about it. I used MK1 Vista Drivers for everything with the Vista BIOS upgrade... The only driver (so far) that is different is the mouse driver. I installed the MK3 driver a while ack and have been testing it... So far so good.

My last and only problem is a compatibility issue with the fingerprint scanner. I get a warning at every boot that there are issues.... I may try the MK3 version of that as well.

either way... I've been very busy and will get around to a complete write-up in a day or three.

 

Did you ever figure out the problem with the fingerprint scanner . I had that problem with my 51 and found out the software had to be upgraded. It cost me $20.00 to download it from their site.
Also.....
Well I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my CF-30 and never had one problem . I followed Toughbook steps and went very smoothly. I love how it runs . Something I noticed is if you hold the stylus on the touchscreen it's like right clicking the mouse. Could not do this before and to set up the touchscreen with the 16 points is so much better.

 

This is the software I used on my CF-51 finger print reader
