Need to get the touchscreen to work on Panasonic tough book
I have this Panasonic tough book cf-18 that I formatted & re-installed windows xp. I installed all the drivers and in the driver manager it shows all drivers installed, but the touchscreen will not work. I believe that I am needing the touch screen software to make it work, but can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated.

yes this system worked fine, it just had viruses in it and the owner wanted me to wipe it clean and put a fresh copy of windows back on. He is needing it for a dedicated project and didn't want anything on it that might interfere with the program he is going to use it for. Everything else works perfect but the touch screen.
Both the touch screen and touch pad are enabled in BIOS
The nearest to ps2/USB in the BIOS is lagacy usb and it is inabled
I am thinking I need to install a utility or software to make it work, but I haven't found it

I don't see any unknown devices in device manager. I attached a snapshot of the device manager, scanned in the model of the notebook, and also the webpage where I downloaded the driver. As far as I know it is the correct driver, but when it attempt to install it comes back with the error "Product does not support." so I am baffled.
Reply to Arnold: I checked out the link you sent and I ended up at the same web page that I am attaching here.
I did not have the original install disk, I only have an OEM windows disk, however when I installed the drivers, they created the folders that you referred to.
If you can get excess to the same model as this notebook, that would be great. Then, if you don't mind, let me know what the driver file is so I could download and try it here.

I tried both of them files but neither of them worked. I am wondering if there was a mistake on panasonic's fault. did they put the wrong driver for that laptop? because that driver says that it is the wrong laptop for that driver when I attempt to install it. I am going to see what I can do from that angle.
