    It is Com 4. It won't say anything about GPS. But dis-able Com 4 and I bet your GPS will no longer function.
    I just looked at my CF-29 that shows COM 3. I know that is the GPS. All it says is COM 3.

    I don't use winrar so of course am unfamiliar with the naming criteria....but....your file names indicate to me that the files are not extracted. I thought I was mistaken once but I was wrong. (joke) Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

    Thanks

    It's been pointed out before in this thread, but I will repeat
    GPS is shown in device manager under Com ports
    To confirm look under device manager/com ports,disable gps in the bios,and look again,it will be gone
    And I will point out the driver order has to be step by step in order as I reported before
    If you muddle through installing drivers in various order you will not have all functions working such as the autorotate
    Read the posts carefully, and don't rush, these tablets are a pain to load without restore disks even for me ,and I fresh load several computers each week,all different brands,different O/S and drivers

    I have found com port 4 in device manager. It doesn't say GPS, but it at least shows up.


    Also there is NO way to get the rotaton and hot keys to work, EXCEPT another clean XP install? I would love to get these working, but the when I tried the install the first time, the first hotkey driver "hotkey plus driver" wouldn't open or run. Its like it was not a setup file. And when I tried to load the driver thru device manager I kept getting an error that it couldn't load... see pics in earlier post.

    I also have NO access to the proper restore cds. ...an NO ONE has them..it sucks! I wish someone had them so I could just load off that, but I cant.

    Thanks for the help guys, you all are AWESOME!

    You have to experiment with different drivers then
    Take note of this important item
    Panasonic have different drivers listed from the download sites depending on the O/S , look at all the options in the drop down box ,my guide is written for the touchscreen model and the drivers needed for you digitizer might be different
    What won't change with be the driver order that I listed
