Chosen Solution

My touch screen won’t activate. After loading the recommended driver it’s still inactive. Perhaps RETURNING to Windows XP home is the answer. I tried XP Pro and 7 pro and “no go.” Thanks guys and gals!

Have you checked under the device manager in WinXP to make sure that all your peripherals are recognized? And like lingster mentioned, turn it on in the BIOS. It appears that there are a few people that have the same issues. The way I would proceed is to A: Activate Touchscreen in Bios B: Reinstall all drivers C: ensure WinXP is recognizing the peripherals. If this still wont work I consider to check on the hardware by disassembling it. Some very useful information right here. http://forum.notebookreview.com/panasoni… Good Luck

http://toughbookcentral.com/category/dri… this should be a step in the right direction. Update you should not have to disassemble to check hardware. there are software tools like SIW for windows. If you can boot into OS it will tell you everything you need to know about the system. http://www.gtopala.com/ its free to use on personal equipment, I purchased the life time Tech license and use it daily.

The order in which your drivers are installed may well determine if your touchscreen will work. To fix this issue, you need to load the needed drivers on a flash drive or another machine. I suggest www.toughbookdrivers.com/drivers/cf-29/ First, restart your computer in safe mode (pressing [F8] as you are cold-starting up). Then, using CONTROL PANEL, remove all drivers (Video, Audio, Mouse, Peripherals, etc) Finally, install the Touchpad/Touchscreen driver FIRST. Install then video, then audio, then the rest….EXCEPT save the LAN and WLAN drivers, respectively, for LAST. If you have GPS, add after LAN and WLAN drivers are installed. If this doesn’t work, it’s likely your touchscreen card went bad…it is a weak link with these units…especially the Mk IV’s or V’s.

Try to get a driver touch screen driver from fujitsu for win7. I saw online that somebody was successful when they did this.You may have to reinstall the touchpad driver for xp afterwards, using have disk. Good luck

Maybe the answer lies in the Model of CF-29. If you have a Mark I to Mark III (a 1.2 or 1.3 GHz chip), your driver will not have a calibration utility. Mark Iv and Mark V have a calibration tool available. If your mouse pointer won’t move to where you point on the screen, then either you installed the drivers in the wrong order, or (worst case) your touch screen doesn’t work any longer. Uninstall the Mouse driver, then reinstall it (NOTE: make sure you install the correct driver for your unit! You will need the ENTIRE model number to find the right driver from Panasonic. This is found in BIOS or on the bottom of your machine.) Bear in mind that that not all CF-29’s had touchscreen capability; your Model # will give you a lot of info.

Panasonic CF-18 Touchscreen Not Working No drivers installed. Someone installed a new hard drive. All was put in but no driver for touch screen and no Calibration Tool. I have the software. I have to send it on a memory stick. Then I would ship it to you. The will give you and Web Address with a video will show you step by step. This will Cost You $50.00 E-mail galente1@gmail.com

The MarkIII definetely has a calibration utility. I have one here (confirmed MK3: CF-29HXXXXX and touchscreen) it consists of nine “crosses” that you have to press using stylus and then you must press enter to confirm it
