Anyone know anything about tablet drivers acting weird?
11 years ago
_________________________________________________________________________
Long story short,
a while back my tablet driver started just shutting off randomly whether I was using the tablet or not.
The only fix I found was to restart the computer, after a while that got tedious (it would stop working every couple hours)
so I searched for a more permanent solution
I have
Uninstalled old version of driver
Installed CURRENT version of driver from Wacom's site
about a BAJILLION TIMES. That will fix the problem momentarily, but it always turns off again.
I have found that I can go into my start menu, pull up the services thingy, and reset the Wacom/Tablet drivers and that always fixes the problem... But again it's a tedious solution.
It's just really disruptive...
Wacom Intuos 4, Windows 7
and note this problem started out of the blue after YEARS of the tablet/computer working perfectly together
and no it's not the tablet or the pen, it's the DRIVER that keeps shutting off/failing for no reason.
IDEAS?! ;A;
btw the tablet never ceases to work, it's ONLY the pen sensitivity that stops working until the driver is reset. The sensitivity is what's cutting out randomly.

It will work perfectly in both programs
and then simultaneously cut out and not work in both programs until I restart the driver >:L
I've definitely checked over and over about the driver updates
but I'll for sure look into it and see if maybe it is a wire~
Hopefully it's something like that that I can fix lol, this has been driving me nuttttssss
2.) If you don't have it, get CCleaner, clean registry. Do so repeatedly until no errors report.
3.) Restart PC
4.) Download OLD driver - try this in lieu of new one. New one may not be playing nice.
5.) Does it work? Good! No? Shit, keep reading.
6.) Uninstall driver.
7.) Repeat above process with new driver.
8.) Google "intuos 4 losing pressure sensitivity" for last resorts
9.) If problems still exist, is probably IS the tablet itself. Call Wacom, send it in to be fixed.
y'know I might try one of the older drivers and see if that does work
'cuz I never used to have any problems
