I got my Tablet working
15 years ago
Hello there all,
As you guys know, I had some issues with my Bamboo tablet where it would just keep right clicking. I couldn't figure out why. I disabled right clicking from Bamboo's settings entirely with both the pen and the tablet, but it still kept doing it. It finally dawned on me what was happening.
See, I have a Windows 7 laptop, which has decided that it needs to control my tablet. Well, I forgot that Windows 7 has it settings above even the Bamboo's settings on my computer. So even though I disabled the right click on Bamboo's settings, I didn't get rid of it on Windows 7's pen and touch settings. Cause when you hold down your pen, it makes the tablet think it is right clicking.
Microsoft, how can you think that people holding down their pen to do something like, oh I don't know, signing something would require holding the pen down for a few seconds? Especially since my laptop doesn't have the most amazing ram in the world and lags for me.
So needless to say, I have bitch slapped Windows to never right click with my tablet or it's pen again so now I can actually draw on my computer like I am supposed to. I am just sad it took me 7 months for that fact to finally dawn on me.
So if you know anyone that is having the same issues that I did, where it would just keep making right click commands when you try to draw with your tablet, ask them what OS they are running on their computer and ask them to check their OS's pen and touch settings. You will save someone a lot of time and aggravation.
