Wacom tablet doesn't work

I have a Wacom Intuos3 tablet 12X19. Haven't used it for a while. When I came back to it, the pen worked for the first line I drew, then stopped working (I use it in CorelDraw). The light at the top of the board indicates that the tablet is aware of the presence of the mouse, but the cursor in screen doesn't move. None of the buttons at the top respond to the pen, either.

Had exactly the same problem with a uc logic graphics pad. The solution: returned it and went back to pen and ink.

Probably a driver problem, update or reset the drivers for it.

SOURCE: My Wacom Intuos3 tablet won't switch into pen mode

I had the same problem with my Intuos3 on Vista. Tech support suggested the following.

Do this.....Go to Start--->control panel---->system(in classic view)---->device manager--->click on "human interface devices"--->then click on "Wacom virtual HID driver" and right click on that and disable it. Your computer will ask you to restart and you will want to do that.

Everything works fine now.

SOURCE: My Wacom Intuos3 tablet won't switch into pen mode

The winning answer came courtesy of Mr Benedikt Schmitt of Wacom Europe, who offered the following solution: from the Windows Device Manager, disable the “Wacom Virtual Hid Driver” device. (Go to Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Device Manager, find the driver, right-click it and choose “Disable”.) One reboot later (welcome to Windows-land, circa 2008?), everything works as desired. Pressure and tilt sensitivity inside Photoshop still work, and the pen functions just fine in the rest of the Windows desktop. The absolute mapping makes it an absolute pleasure to point quickly and precisely. It makes my laser mouse feel rather clumsy navigating a large 24′ screen!

SOURCE: wacom intuos3 pen is not working

A few hours ago Wacom released a new driver 6.1.2-5 for the Windows 7/Vista/XP operating systems. I was having the same problem. Hopefully this will be a permanent fix!

Does the Wacom Intuos2 Classic Pen (xp 300e) work with the Wacom Bamboo CTL 470 tablet?

From what I read on Wacom's site, they are NOT compatible.
The Bamboo use a stylus that is different than the nib pens that the Intuos use. The stylus for the Bamboo is more like the stylus you can purchase for smart phones. The Intuos pens are pressure sensitive and have different nibs you can use for different effects and feel. You can go to their website and look for compatible pens and stylus' for your specific tablet.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jennifer_2cda060d2c48cd81

Illustrator CS5 does not recognize my graphic pen, wether with the Wacom tablet or my new Monoprice tablet. It draws a yellow sticky note kind of thing, it is annoying and I can't find a solution,

I too have a tablet not made by Wacom. For some reason, Illustrator only opens the tablet-sensitive definitions for Wacom. The solution I found: Go to the Wacom site, install the latest intuos driver. You won't be using it, but it will trick Illustrator into thinking there's a Wacom installed, the definitions will be active for your pen. Mine seems to work fine now.

I have a wacom tablet, and my pen refuses to work. The eraser side of it works just fine though.

I had the same problem and this is what I did
1) reinstalled the latest drivers from wacom.com
2) removed the tip (I pulled it out with tweezers) and put it back several times
3)went to the pen/tablet settings and restored everthing to defaults

Don't know which one did the trick, but my pen works again. Good luck.

Initial Delay of tablet pen

I had a similar problem with Vista which made the pen/cursor freeze just as the tip was placed on the tablet face.
The problem turned out to be a Vista setting.
I went to Start > Control Panel > Pen and Input Devices.
Then in the Pen Options tab highlight the "Press and Hold" pen action and then press the "Settings..." button. In the dialog box that opens uncheck the "Enable press and hold for right-clicking" check box. Hit "OK".
Worked for me.

My Intuous 3 worked perfectly with Window xp. Then I changed the computer and now is window 7. It did not work initially. Then I found the compatible driver for Intuous and window 7 and immediatly started to work all right. However, after 5 months it suddenly stopped working. Please help me to solve this problem now. There was a new driver recommended on the net for the wacow pad but the computer did not allow to download from the net. What can be and how can I solve that ? My name is Evelina Craven.
