Problem for Wacom Graphire4 4x5

Skipping and Shaking cursor




By AoiNami on Feb 15, 2008

" "
My tablet was just fine for the first two months, than all of a sudden it started to get bad. The cursor, whether with pen or mouse, literally shakes and skips rapidly, and makes very jagged lines. Ive reinstalled the driver, checked the balance of the sensitivity, and such. Nothing works!. It wasn't as bad when it started ,but it gradually yet really quickly got worse and worse every time I used it.
I than tried it at a school computer which had CS3 and some other various tablet driver things, and it was just fine. I'd really like to fix this asap, I cannt make decent artwork or ink with consistant lines, and it is VERY! fustrating.

x_x anyone to help? I hardly want to deal with phoning a company, those are always such a huge hassle and hardly do any good, Im no good over a phone.

Same Problem

-   I have the same problem but I realized that if I touch my laptop with one hand at the same time I touch the mouse on the tablet with the other hand, it stops shaking. I let go my laptop it starts shaking again. It maybe static from the laptop or from my body. That is weird! -   evymiller

-   All I did was take the USB plug and change it to one in the front of the PC. All of the shaking stopped.

-   I think post no. 1 maybe right,

I have got Genius 8x6 with me. With my Windows XP machine, the cursor keeps shaking from beginning. I didn't use original driver though. But with MAC OS X, it works just fine, stable and accurate. This result shows that the problem doesn't come from physically device you have but driver.

I hope my assumption is right. Anyway, this evening I will get original driver from CD to my Windows XP machine. Thanks

Hi guys i've got the same problem with my 2 tablets.

I've got a graphire 4 and i've just got an intuos3 A4 "special edition" my OS is windows XP/SP2.
Here is my problem :
I've installed easily my intuos3 drivers with the original CD.
Everything works fine !
A few minutes after registering my intuos 3 on wacom website. i've find an update for my driver on the official site, so i decided to instal the "pro605-7_int.exe" and after the reboot of the OS the pointer start shaking as soon as my pen touch the tablet. I've got the same problem with the mouse, the airbrush and also my graphire 4 who have the symptoms.
I can certified that this is not a material problem because everything works fine with my both tablet before the upgrade. it's not a problem with the radio screen frequency because once again there was no problem with my screen at my first intallation with the original CD.
i've got another computer with vista i'll do the same test everything happen the same way. Both tablet has the same problem when i upgrade the driver of each tablet the pointer start shacking again.
On Vista i could uninstal the driver and everything has turn back to normal. Unfortunately i've tried to act the same way on XP/SP2, but it doesn't work my pointer still shacking.


NB: It's not a problem with logitech i've none of their product and it's not a problem with my graphic card i've updated it, if it can help my computer is an HP Pavilion with nvidia Gforce 7500 LE.

I own a Graphire2 and I have often had the cursor shake like this. Usually unplugging and replugging the USB cable from the computer does the trick... and if it doesn't, restarting the computer usually does. I've never really had to fight with drivers.

could be that it is too close to the monitor - radio frequencies interfering -- try to put tablet farther away from wherever it's plugged in...

IVE GOT THE ANSWER AND I FIXED IT!!! this worked for my WACOM Intous3 on Windows XP, SONY VAIO...K, Goto "Start" menu, > "Settings" > "Control Panel" > "Wacom Tablet Properties" On the top of the Menu that pops up, there is a row that has "Tablet:" with an icon that says "Intuos3 9x12," Double click "Intous3 9x12" (or what ever model and size you have,) you will get another pop up, DESELECT "Recognition Data" and SELECT "Standard Mode". IT WILL STOP SHAKING!!! IT WORKS!!! I dont believe it I been suffering for weeks and I fixed it! Hope you have the same success!!!

I had the same problem but the further I place the tablet from my laptop the better it gets. I suspect magnetic interference is the cause.
