Shit happens I guess. Hope it works out later onnnn.

How is everything breaking? Like... It almost makes no sense at all D:

Some people have a natural deflection to electronics. They get around them and they just die for no reason at all.

Oh the amount of times I've seen this take place. Like walking EMPs they are.

I can be like that, too XD

This is probably going to sound dumb, but did you try restarting?

My tablet has actually done the same, and still occasionally does. A quick restart usually fixes it for me.


I'm sure you probably already have, but just throwing it out there just in case :x

Have you watched The IT Crowd?

Heh.

Nope

Whenever anyone answered the phones they'd say "I.T., have you tried turning it off and on?"
The characters saying it and the responses they got became a running gag. It's actually a pretty good series.

Well, shit. :|

It's a miracle mine's lasted as long as it has.

keep your stuff safer :o

Okay. thanks.

The world doesnt want u to draw

You just are not having technical luck are you? :/

Jesus hates me :c

Jesus is in the wheat >_>

Amen to that sistah.

Find out what you're doin and fix it cuz whatever it is karma does not like you at all o.-.o
Everything electronic you touch breaks. >.-.>
and you don't even do anything that would cause it to break! D:

and you don't even do anything that would cause it to break! D:

As someone who virtually never has electronics break on him and who has dealt with plenty of people for whom they do, I really seriously doubt that. They say, "oh but nothing ever happened to it!" And then you see them put their laptop in their bookbag which they throw around and drop like it's full of nothing but books. Or they close the lid and put it in there and walk away, while it's still shutting down, hard drive grinding away as they bounce down the hall. Or they yank cords -- power, USB, whatever -- out by the cord, instead of by the plug, and just ball them up and shove them in their bag. Or they dropped their phone three times in as many months. Or... you get the picture. Honestly some of the things people do to their stuff, I'm shocked it still fucking works.

Heh I'm like you, never had anything fail on me... well a used xbox360 but come on!

My friend used my cell and was like wow this new? Nope 2 years old... just got my 1st tiny mark from dropping it at work and I was pissed xD

But I'm sure razr is a good boy and never rapes his USB slot with dongles.

Dongles... Hee hee!

But yeah.. really its a tablet, i hardly take it around much. it just sits places.

uuurgh man that sucks

i have a spare bamboo if you wanna use t for a while

Damn Razr, wish I could give you some of my luck; you seem to really need it :\

Could I pay you in advance for the colouring of that sketch you did for me with the Great Jaggi (IA) many months back? I think that would help pay towards getting a new tablet for you to draw on. Your art (and online presence) is sorely missed. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Yo, Intuos 4 is so nice. lol.

FFffffffffffffffffffffff

Let me take it home and i'll take a look at it and see whats up

I think a big part of your woes from the last stuff was at your last house the cat and dog fur like on that fan may have contributed to your desktop's death and maybe laptop as well. New house no pets may equal longer life out of your electronics?!

I sure as hell hope so

Funny enough, when I had a cat around, his fur was clogging on the front grill of my computer and helped to filter the dust. Just a quick swipe of the front grill and it was all fine. But yeah, hairs can get stuck in his tablet and block the buttons contacts for example... perhaps. XD;

Damn man DX .. how much do those things cost anyhow?

Way too much... :\

THis^

they really aren't designed to move from the spot on your desk or to change computers ...all the pen tablets i had died from excessive traveling

I'd check it with another computer before you throw it out. With my laptop, my tablet was doing the same thing. Receiving power 'n USB working but for some reason it didn't wanna power up or act like it was even plugged in. Worked fine on my desktop, but decided to be a little punk for my laptop. I think for me, it was because I was using the disk that came with it for the drivers, and when I used the ones off of the website it worked fine.

But, as I said. Check with another computer, it might be just being whiny towards your netbook.

Already did. no dice

Oh damn :(

Then I jizzed in my pants?

Hey - you got the reference. good for you :P

hot damn.

I was genuinely surprised that nobody had said it before this point.

Tis a toughy. Best thing I can suggest to ensure its not a windows fault is to try and install the tablet on another persons PC. Eliminate the variables and all that before buying a new one incase its just windows being a herpderp.

Give that a try Razr bud.

That was one of the first things i did

ah well then yeah its buggeroni'd. :<

The path we walk upon is littered with broken electronics D:

That's always so weird when people say their wacom tablet broke, because not a single tablet I have from wacom never actually broke. Got outdated and put into a corner, yes, but broke?
ALL of the wacom tablets I ever got still work!
I even have an about 20 year old monstrous 20x12 inch wacom that still works. Except it's unwieldy, stinks of cigarette smoke and looks ratty.

1. old small PenPartner I got like 10-14 years ago as my first tablet, still works, just has no drivers for vista and an old serial port.
2. even older 20x12 inch Wacom that must have been an engineer's tool, that I bought used off of ebay. I like them big. Still works, but again, driver issue.
3. Tiny bamboo I got to replace the PenPartner for quick sketches or when I was too lazy to drag out the big one.
4. Intous 3 I got for my wife like 3 years ago and now is back with me.
5. 12WX Cintiq I got about 1-2 years ago and works like a charm.

You're like that guy from Jurassic Park, who broke electronics just by coming near them. :P

But given my luck one of the tablets will break half an hour after I post this. XD

Better find some wood to knock on quick! xD you should know better than to post this kinda shit its like putting a bigass target on your head for karma ! haha! yeah i dont know this used to be owned by a friend of mine and he gave it to me like 2 years ago so before i got it idk what went on with it but it still worked fine 2 years... i just moved so i am wondering if something happened to it during the move. i dont know :(

I like to live dangerously. ;P

I'm going to bet SOMETHING happened to it, because those damn wacoms are sturdy as fuck. Might even be something silly like too much humidity during transport.

Possibly yeah :/ i dont know. i do live in FL. either way it sucks cuz these things arent cheap :(

Those tablets are ALWAYS finicky like that. If you unplug it, it takes an act of god to get it working again. And I have NEVER found drivers online that work. I always have to use the ones from the CD. It's not broken. WACOM is just HORRIBLE at making drivers.

What do you use instead? like a bamboo? or do you just deal with it?

Some registry cleaning could help, perhaps:
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

Can't really tell, never owned a tablet. But like many said, Wacom's drivers support can be really finiky. Good luck. :E

Ill try that but i doubt itll do anything since i tried it on another computer too. and honestly you shouldnt need the drivers for it to work. the drivers just let you set up the buttons on the tablet and make the pressure sensitivity work. every time ive ever just plugged it into a new computer it worked right off the bat in terms of actually just sensing the pen movements. it wont even do that now

Just curious, what Windows edition is it on this netbook?

Also, I found something else to try:
http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=573
"In that case please try to disable the WacomVirtualHID device in device manager. If the tablet does not work at all, check under services for a TabletPC Input service and disable it."

Nope no luck with that :(

Not again! Lets just hope the next batch of electronics don't break, things are becoming more durable than they used to be.

What kind of tablet was it? I have 4 but none of them have ever broke on me.

nvm lol I read what kind it was...

might not be too helpful but...
is that some Lonely Island I sense?

sure is~

Run into any gypsies lately?

Hearing of your electronics issues yet again, reminds me of a certain storm dragon who also had problems when it came to high intensity discharges.

A suggestion, it might be a pain, but I honestly think this will work. You need to invest in a ESD strap.

Also known as a ElectroStatic Discharge strap, it reduces your bodies electrical potential to 0, by grounding you out. The strap goes around your wrist, and the clip gets attached to something that's grounded out (the chassis of your computer for example) This should help when it comes to destroying electronics.

Then again, if you're generating your own magnetic field and inducing currents, there's little you can do to stop that :D
