Hi, I just bought a couple on e-bay. I went to the panasonic.com site, entered cf-29 in the search window, then support, and I registerred. Then you can download all the drivers for free. (Manually instal The Driver, or it will not find it) HOWEVER, I put Windows 7 in my other machine which is a CF-29N series and I cannot get a sound driver or a touch screen driver to even be accepted by the OS. I downloaded the cf-30K series drivers (The only one that offered Win 7 capabilities) from the panasonic site.
I could use some instruction from someone who has successfully completed this on Win 7.

After you have re-installed the operating system on your Panasonic CF-29, things like your sound or graphics will not be working correctly. This is because the operating system would of set-up your computer with default or generic drivers that are designed only to operate at minimal levels or may not work at all.
A driver is the communication software that interfaces with the computer's specific hardware. Some form of driver is required for the hardware to operate in any way. Windows® default drivers are designed so that that basic start-up requirements are met, such as being able to see the display. These are not optimized for the CF-29 and are very very slow.
In cases where the computer is using a default display driver, you will not even be able to see the full screen resolution. Our CF-29 compatible driver disk is one of the most versatile ever released. We think that a driver disk full of compressed, out of date and hard to install driver files is just not good enough. This driver disk will supply you with all the very latest Panasonic® CF-29 drivers.

To Our Valued Customers, Some questions have arisen as to the Panasonic policy on providing “Microsoft Windows Vista including a downgrade right to Windows XP Professional” (Vista downgrade). This will explain our implementation of Microsoft’s program, announced in Sept. 2007 and first implemented by PCSC in November, 2007. This program will be in effect until, at least, April 21, 2010. Panasonic Toughbook laptops no longer come with a Windows XP license.
All systems are shipped with a Windows Vista license (and Certificate of Authenticity, or COA). However, Windows XP can be installed on the system prior to being shipped to the customer through the “Vista downgrade” program. Panasonic Toughbook laptops that ship with a “Vista downgrade” will have a Windows XP factory image loaded on the unit’s hard disk drive. They will ship with a Windows Vista Certificate of Authenticity (COA), as well as Windows XP recovery CD and a Windows Vista Recovery CD. This will allow a user to restore the XP image or upgrade to a Windows Vista Business standard factory load. The user license will be for Windows Vista Business (as shown on the COA) but the user is granted downgrade rights to use Windows XP Professional.
There will be NO Windows XP license key with these models. Panasonic may not provide an XP license key. Users must use their existing corporate license or contact Microsoft to obtain one, if needed. Customers must use the Panasonic Windows XP recovery CD to install the Windows XP operating system. If the recovery CD is not used, the customer may be prompted to provide a Windows XP license key. Panasonic may not provide a Windows XP license key. Microsoft must be contacted to obtain a Windows XP license key.
The Windows logo sticker on the wrist rest of the Toughbook laptop will show Windows Vista as the OS on the unit, but the OS that boots up on the machine will be Windows XP. Units with the Vista downgrade can be identified with a part number that ends in the letters “AM”. (Units loaded with Windows Vista, and without a downgrade, end in “JM”.). All current Panasonic Toughbook laptops are available with either of the Windows operating systems.
The Vista downgrade program is being offered by Panasonic in cooperation with Microsoft to meet the needs of users who are not yet ready to transition to Windows Vista and desire a Windows XP solution for the current acquisitions. Panasonic Computer Solutions Company August, 2009.
