Bamboo Fun won't work w/ provided software




By p_j_lizakows on Jun 01, 2009

Just bought Bamboo Fun. Pen works great as a "mouse" on computer & works & recognizes handwritting on the "writing journal",etc. However, I've installed the provided Software Bundle CD & the pen does not work with Corel or Adobe Photoshop (I never installed the Nik Color program). Doesn't work with the tutorial -get you started- CD, either. What am I doing wrong? :( So, far I like the gadget, I just want to use it in the drawing/photo programs also! Thanks for any help. (I'm in the process of uninstalling the software & re-installing-to see if that works.) G- I too have installed the software bundle to the Wacom Bamboo Fun 5.8" x 3.7 USB Tablet with cordless pen and mouse - White and the pen does not work in either of those programs. I cannot figure out what the problem is. I am running Vista OS. May new Bamboo Fun works grat as a mouse but does not work with Corel Painter or Photoshop. Has anyone a solution for that problem?

Hello,

I had the same problem when I got my laptop (Vista OS). The solution is to update the new driver for your bamboo. They are out of date so you need to go here: http://www.wacom.com/downloads/driver-detail.php?id=196 Updated @ Apr. 9, 2009

This update should allow Vista to find it.
