cannot get the touch screen to work, read all the help and tried all the drivers etc…….
thinking that it might not be enabled in the bios I went looking there but my bios screen has a password which i have no way of knowing?
whats the next move?
can the bios be reflashed?
reset by removing the battery back up if there is one?
Help???
You may reset BIOS by disconnecting CMOS battery. You will need to remove bottom cover and motherboard to access it.
Hi. I have aproblem with a cf-18bdazxmm. I have tried both MK1 and MK2 drivers, but I keep getting message “This machine does NOT support”, and installation wont even start. Any ideas whats the problem, and/or what are the right drivers. And procedure to get those installed?
Jukka
hi Jukka,
Did you find a fix? I have the same problem (machine does not support). I appreciate any help.
Thanks
The function button does not work with the F1-F10 keys to operate the brightness, sound, ect. How can I get them to work? hipower82001@yahoo.com
Art,
You need to install Hotkey drivers and Hotkey Application Manager. What is your full model number, i.e. CF-18XXXXXX?
Hey i got a buch of the CF-18s donated to me and i got every thin working but the touch screen, hot keys and the buttons on the front. I dont now where to get the upgraded mouse drivers the toughbook is sayin there are no upgrades for it… and the hot key driver installs but they dont work. o and i have the MK5 plz reply bak or send me and email at YellowDB@live.com thx
Dustin,
What it the second letter in your model number, i.e. CF-18X?XXXX. May be you have a digitizer model. For hotkeys and tablet buttons you need to install Hotkey Driver and Hotkey Application manager from MK-5 driver package.
its the CF-18ND and i installed the touch screen drivers and stuff but it still wont work and i stll cant get the hot keys to work. do i need the hotkeys working in order to get the touch screen to work?
Dustin,
As i suspected, your model has a digitizer, not touch screen. Digitizer can be operated with special stylus only. Windows XP Tablet installs digitizer driver automatically.
Hotkeys need separate driver and Hotkey Manager application. These are included in MK5 driver package.
Is there any drivers for Windows XP pro SP2 for the digitalizer?
Dustin,
I have found this driver on Wacom’s website: http://www.wacom.com/tabletpc/driver.cfm
Please let us know if it fixed your problem.
does any one know where to get Windows XP Tablet? if not does anyone know whee to get driver to get the digitizer on the CF-18 to work on XP Pro?
So … What are the chances that i can find Windows 7 drivers for the touchscreen in the model CF-18FHAZXBM ? Everything else is working.
GPS is not working
is there any other GPS drivers i need to install, the only GPS thing i have done it the .reg file :/
thanks
If you have GPS installed make sure its activated in BIOS.
yea its enabled in BIOS but still not working
Please provide more details. How do you check it, any system messages, etc.
For testing I recommend to install WinFast GPS: http://toughbookcentral.com/drv/gps/WinFast-GPS-Install.zip
Your GPS receiver sends data to one of your COM ports. Go to your Device Manager to see what COM ports do you have. Then configure WinFast. And, of course, you have to be outdoor to get satellite signal.

Hello, I have purchased a toughbook CF-18 via British gas which doesn’t have an operating system. I have an xp tablet edition disc but have no idea how to load it as there is no floppy or cd drive. I do have an external cd drive and mobile hard drive but I can’t see a way in the bios for booting from usb. It shows in the boot order Lan Foppy Cd or Hdd. I suppose that means loading by Lan. Yuk! How do I do that? I would much apreciate it if any one could help please.
Peter,
Using F5/F6 keys setup in BIOS the following boot sequence: Floppy, CD Drive, HDD, LAN. Click Save Changes and Exit. Insert Windows XP disc and reboot your computer. On the screen you you will get a message: Press any key to boot from CD…
Thorp,
Thank you very much. The problem was also that I wasn’t using a bootable copy of xp. Der? Thanks again.
I am running unbuntu loving the pen but no sound driver or gps

Laabinot,
Do you have recovery or Windows XP installation disk?
I have CF-18NH and i am trying to get touch screen to work on Vista 32-bit. I have tried everything and cannot get it running. Thanks for a driver or instructions to correct.
Rob,
Please Download and extract touchscreen update for Vista. http://toughbookcentral.com/drv/vista-tscreen.exe
I have cf18fdazxvm tough book, but still cannot recognize its model between the options available on this website:
is it: MK1, MK2, MK3, MK4 or MK5.
Appreciate your response.
Your model is MK3 version with digitizer. You need package #3 if you have Windows XP installed. Driver package for Windows XP Tablet will be available in a few days.
Which set of drivers should I use? I have tried them all, and all I get is “This machine does NOT support”.
I do not have the recovery discs anymore and I use Win XP.
The model number is CF-18JHU12TW.
Thanks
For those that want to know the CF18DD works a treat on Win7, google for howto:Install windows 7 on a cf-18 mk1 for more.
I also tried ubuntu 10.04 lts, which is great apart from the vid drivers have moved into the kernel and are disabled by default for the intel 82852 – download the alternate 10.04 iso and load in text mode, then google up 10.04 blank screen intel for howtos. Greets to all toughbook appreciators!
hi all, my problem is that i have mc75 but can not find any software for it i have a mk4 cf 18 on xp pro.
