Does anyone still have the CalibG4.exe touch screen dead zone hotfix file for the Surface Pro 3 they could share with me? I've seen posts to the Sony support website where you used to be able to download it from, but it no longer seems active. So I've no idea how to obtain it.

EDIT: 

Found it. It says Windows 8, but I used it on my Windows 10 and worked like a charm.

If this link ever dies in the future, let me know (jestercat at out) because I'm going to save the file.

    This worked for me!

    if you get the " msvcr100.dll " error like i did, go here :

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999&irgwc=1&OCID=AID681541\_aff\_7794\_312327&tduid=(ir\_\_kugc9txiqwkfrzl0xkpoxiopbn2xherkd1kc66qt00)(7794)(312327)()(06-3589464-11-0000000)&irclickid=\_kugc9txiqwkfrzl0xkpoxiopbn2xherkd1kc66qt00

    there are 3 files, im not sure which one is needed so just tick all of them.

    If that link dies, it's 

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update

    from the microsoft download centre

    This comment saved my life! SurfacePro3 / i5 / 8g RAM / 256g hard drive running Windows 10 - we had a panel of touchscreen where touch was not being recognized. The link to the sony calibrate tool mentioned in Reddit forum (Link to reddit forum) was not working. However the Reddit forum was extremely helpful since so many had experienced this issue and solved it.

    So I manually found the driver on Sony website another way and downloaded it from here:

    https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/svf-series-svf15n1-series/svf15n190x/downloads/W0009338

    However, since that driver is made for Windows 8, I got the "msvcr100.dll" error like the poster mentioned above. When I downloaded the Visual C++ drivers for Win X64 and installed them, the CalibrateG4.exe tool worked like a charm and fixed our touch screen issue. Thanks to all that helped post these!
