    Hello Everyone and Merry Christmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR !
    I was wondering has anyone come across drivers for vista that I could use
    on my CF-28 ? :confused: I have a VERY trimmed down version of vista that runs fast even with 512 ram but can't get touch screen to work ect. ect.
    Your help as Always much appreciated.

    You're not going to find them; the cutoff for Vista was anything AFTER the Intel 915 graphics family and the CF-28 predates even that (I think it runs the Intel 82830 graphics chipset).

    If you're LUCKY you may be able to get Win7 to run XP drivers for the CF-28 in COMPATABILITY MODE; otherwise, you're probably boned.

    I can tell you from experience that Windows 7 does not like the Panasonic VGA utility and driver, and this was the latest Windows XP driver.
