    Hello all. Its been a couple years since Ive posted here. I recently bought a cf-52 and decided to put an x64 version of Windows 7. All was well until the touchscreen wasn't calibrated (although it was responding to input). After searching the Internets, this forum, and the cluster-you-know-what of Panasonic's support pages, I was almost about to give up. The Vista drivers on their site and on this forum where all 32-bit drivers and were no go. Then it occurred to me, I know its a Fujitsu touchscreen, I'll search Fujitsu's website! And voila! I found it on this page here:

    http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/edevices/components/touchpanels/drivers.html

    Hope it helps!

    That is interesting, I am running windows 7 32-bit on a cf-28 and removed the touchscreen drivers because it was causing random lockups of my computer. I may try the vista driver but I am not sure if I need the four wire or seven wire version.

    Hi chief
    Why did you install the 64 bit version? What advantage were you looking for in the 64 bit version of windows 7? Now that it is working does it do what you expected it to do?

    Sincerely,

    Windows now sees all my ram. x86 would stop at 3.5Gb. I don't see any immediate advantages to 64 bit, other than some of the video software and games I have are 64-bit optimized and fly. With Windows 7 out developers are more willing to invest in making 64-bit versions of their software. Windows 7 runs 32-bit applications wonderfully as well. Sure its more bloated than XP, but the memory I gained by switching to 64 offsets the bloat.

    I now have a CF-52 i5 540 and they say only 32 bit OS can run, but why have 8BG RAM as max memory?

    What issues did you have with other drivers and where did you find them. How did you know which order to load them.
