I accidentally knocked my tablet off the desk and onto the floor. Fearing damage, I tested the corners and edges of the tablet, but the cursor didn't reach all edges and corners of the screen in response and sometimes tapping the pen to the tablet doesn't get a response. I tried unplugging the Wacom and plugging it back in and restarting the computer, but it still doesn't cover the whole screen. My husband tried to re-seat the interior of the tablet, as he found it had come loose a little in the fall, but even that didn't work and the tablet still barely responds. Is there something else that can be done to recalibrate the tablet, or has some serious damage taken place? It only fell about two feet and my floor is carpeted, so the shock shouldn't have been that bad, could it?
I actually got rid of my Wacom Graphire several months ago but there is/was a *reset to defaults* button in the Wacom icon in the control panel. You probably want to open the *Pen* tab, ensure it?s in pen mode and click on the default button. That is supposed to reestablish the default tablet to screen mapping. If that doesn?t work then you want to do a Windows search for *tablet.dat*. The procedure says to delete the file and restart the computer which forces the program to rebuild it and reset everything to the factory defaults. Just because I?m cautious I would rename the file to *tablet.dat-old* or something similar just in case something goes really wrong. Let us know if you have any other questions and please don?t forget to rate this post.
