    You need to download it from Panasonic. You can read the stickies for the download sites. It is to keep your mouse from jumping around and sometimes is not needed, depending on model. Go to Panny... Look it up. If it is needed, download it.

    If needed you should go into the BIOS, disable the GPS, boot up, install the driver by opening it, go to that directory, install the registry entries, then reboot into BIOS, set GPS to auto and go from there.

    thanks bro.

    with all the help from the forum, and all knowledge I know now, I found that the seller cheated me.

    absolutely there is NO GPS device inside the laptop. it just has software only.

    now, I really confuse the sellers of Toughbooks on Ebay, how many of them know what they are selling, or what they are cheating.

    what word I should say now. grrrrrrrrrrr

    See my post in your other thread. YOU MUST USE A THIRD PARTY GPS PROGRAM TO SEE YOUR GPS!!!! This has been discussed often on this forum and there are numerous threads on which program is best. You almost certainly have got a GPS in your machine, you have to learn how to use it.

    Does the GPS option show up in the BIOS - that will tell you if it is there or not.

    WinFAST GPS is a freebie you can get/install that will see it if it is there as well.

    there was absolutely nothing shown up in the BIOS like a GPS.

    I really confuse with the way that seller works on Ebay. He even if tried to sell 5 of them with the same configuration.

    I absolutely feel mad with this guy. I returned the item within 24h.
