Genius MousePen tablet 8x6 Isn't responding to the pen.

I got the tablet for this past christmas and it worked fine up until recently, it's not working with the pen. The tablet lights up like it's registering the pen there, but when I move the pen, click it, or anything, nothing happens. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything for it several times, and nothings working.

    Exactly the same issue here. I haven't used it for months, (though all the necessary software is still installed) and it's not working @ all. ://
    Lights up when I press my pen against the tablet or hover it over it, & my mouse works on it as well.

Have you tried replacing the Pen battery? Maybe it died.

SOURCE: Genius 8x6 tablet pen freezes

Try putting a new battery in it. Mine was having the same sort of problems, and they were pretty much entirely fixed by a new battery.

My Genius Mousepen 8x6 tablet isn't working with the pen. If the pen touches the tablet, the light lights up, but the cursor doesn't click and it won't move either. The mouse is working fine, though.

My i608 pen stopped working today. I've had it for a month. The mouse was working fine, but the pen wouldn't work at all. Then I left the mouse on the pad and used the pen while the mouse was on the pad, and the pen started working again. Now it works even without the mouse on the pad. Did it re-establish the radio connection or something by doing that? Anyway, saved me the $25 replacement cost.

My pen wont respond on the tablet

No software aside from drivers are necessary. The Genius Tablet comes a configuration menu you can test. If you don't have this, you can get it for free from Genius' website.

You need to hold the pen close to the tablet to allow it to detect movement. I hold my pen <1cm from the surface. You may want to check the batteries.

Genius MousePen 8x6 Problem

I've had a similar problem - I unplugged the tablet from the PC and back in again, the PC recognised it as new and reinstalled it straight away (this is on XP). The first time the driver stopped responding I had unplugged the tablet because intended to deal with problem later. Plugged back in - worked. Twice now. I've restarted to see if the driver stopped again and if I would have to re-plug the tablet, didn't need to, I guess it's a solution to keep in mind next time this comes up.
