Cursor restricted to top left area using graphics tablet

When ever I use photoshop or GIMP. I open it and the cursor jumps straight to the top left of the screen and I can only move in a restricted area in the top left of my screen. It works fine when I use my usb mouse. but when i use my tablet it jumps to the top left.

I have got a Wacom Bamoo One Tablet.

I am using Windows 7

It's the windows 7 tablet feature that causes the problem. To solve it you have to disable it. Go to start -> search write "services.msc" (without the strokes) and hit enter. Now search for "Tablet PC Input Service" double click on it and when a little window pops up set Disabled under startup type list box. Now if you want to see effect immediately there is a button Stop, click on it, and wait until service is stopped. When done close both windows. This way you don't have to even restart your pc.

    In my case I also needed to disable "TabletServicePen" from enabled Services

    This same thing happened to me and these instructions helped. But for mine to work, I had to set TabletServicePen to "Manual".

How do you draw on GIMP 2?

Open a new file, enter the size of picture you want to draw, click on OK.
This gives you a new canvas, click on the pencil in toolbox on the left hand side, bring your cursor back over to the canvas press and keep the left mouse button down and move the mouse, you're drawing.

Using dual monitors

that is usually how graphics tablets are set, sometimes they have function buttons that you can use to toggle between screens in a multi screen setup (remember that graphics tablets are not the same as touchpad.....

it is also possible to set your screens up as one desktop... this with a recallibration of your tablet could give you access to the whole screen area.
