Dear ali a ahmed


Please go to:


http://www.panasonic.ca/english/customercare/sandd/softwareQuery.asp


And put the laptop’s following details:


Model Number: CF48 (not CF-48)
Keyword: ATI


Press Search and you will find multiple drivers for your system.


NOTE: Since you only state your laptop model as CF48 I assume that you have the MK3 ATI Mobility Chipset. Check the label under your laptop to check the full model number just to be sure!
