    CAP sighs, remembers its Christmas and offers the following. Take a look at the very first thread on this forum, the one that says "READ BEFORE POSTING"!!!! The first item in this thread, "Toughbook drivers and manual sources" is a good place to look for drivers. It even contains a detailed set of instructions on installing touchscreen drivers! If you read it you will find that we recommend getting your drivers direct, FREE, from Panasonic. In that thread you will also find detailed information on finding out if your CF-72 actually has a touchscreen or not. Check it out, try a little self help, then if you are stumped come back and we will see what we can do to help you out. Welcome to the forum,
    CAP

    thanks capt.dogfish but i still couldn;t get it to work.
    I found out that my toughbook isn't touchscreen but i have a touchscreen installed. My toughbook is a cf-72q and the screen is off a cf-72x. Is there anyway i could get the touchscreen to work?

    I am not sure about the 72, but on the 29 you can replace a non-touch LCD with a touch, install the drivers and have a touchscreen. Once the unit discovers the hardware and installs, update the driver and you should be golden. (If memory serves me correctly)
