Hello, I just unistalled all drivers and reinstalled with the tablet plegged in. Now it works.....

Bamboo

I don't think it's a software issue. It's a strange problem, and chances are some physical componenets are going to have to be changed out, which will require servicing.
Contact Bamboo support to see if there's anything they can do (provide a reburnished swap, etc.).
Here's their web support page: http://www.wacom.com/productsupport/
It might be better to consider buying a new unit if their replacement/repair price is too high.
Good luck, and hope this helps.

You can buy them new from places like Amazon or directly from Wacom. Just to confuse you more-- it used to be Bamboo, Intuos, and Cintiq. Now the entry level tablets are the Intuos, the mid-level has become the Intuos Pro, and then the Cintiq. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=wacom+bamboo https://store.wacom.com/us/intuos-pen-touch/

Skipping usually implies a memory shortage and not necessarily a driver issue. The computer has to stop and start due to the memory filling up and having to transfer the data to the hard drive before loading more data. If you are sure that the drivers are correct it's probably a memory issue. You may be able to help by setting some programs that run in the background and use memory space not to load on start-up thereby freeing up memory for other programs like this particular piece of equipment.
