Today's fun project was trying to install a pen driver (FZ-VNPM12AU) for the Panasonic ToughPad FZ-M1 mk3.
Thanks to chaotic info on Panasonic's site, it took me almost an hour to figure out what was going on. I realized I needed a driver or a touch screen mode utility, but Panasonic's site only listed tools designed for Windows 7 or 8. I bit the bullet and tried to install one of them, risking my windoze 11 setup. Fortunately, nothing bad happened - as the drivers refused to install. (Why the hell do they still keep them on the main site? They really should move them to an "archive" section!)
Eventually, the next app I found on their chaotic site was the "Panasonic PC Settings Utility." There were various versions, but I downloaded the one from M$'s site just to be safe.
The saga didn't stop there. When I ran the app, there was no touch configuration available. After searching on the web to find an answer, I finally found this info hidden away:
So... the solution was the System Interface Manager. Needless to say, after installing this app, the stylus and other options were finally there!!!
/!\ YMMV, above info/procedures for FZ-M1 mk3 /!\
