SOURCE: serial to usb wacom tablet problem
I just got Vista and it killed my Intuos2 w/serial to usb also, but here's a half solution:
Download Wacom driver 4.78-6 http://www.wacom-europe.com/int/downloads/driver/driver.asp?lang=en. Make sure you remove any other Wacom drivers, tablet, and reboot. Install 4.78-6 driver and select serial port when the choice pops up. Plug in your tablet with the serial to usb adapter, wait a few seconds and click retry. Complete the install and reboot.
Your Wacom tracking should work now, but certain things might not work like pressure sensitivity and you'll get annoying error "reinstall driver" pop-ups.
I think you can aslo buy a PCI-serial card for your computer and skip the serial-usb adapter since Vista doesn't support the adapter for Wacom tablets.. but I'm not sure if there's a working Vista serial Wacom driver either.. or ever will be. The age of XP and Legacy support is at an end my friends.

There is a problem with the compatability of your tablet and your monitor. You either have to change your monitor to a different refresh rate or simply move your tablet abit further way from your monitor. If possible, you could change your tablet to "single mode" (depending on your tablet).

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.

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!

my intuous tablet has always worked fine until about a week ago when I kept being prompted to reinstall my tablet drivers out of nowhere. That worked fine a few times but now it is completely non-responsive when I boot up and when I make contact with the pen on the tablet the blue light switches to green.
anyone know why?
My wacom Bamboo isn't working. It's brand new and my USB ports are working just fine.
yeah, same here. it was working fine on 2 machines. then i reinstalled XP on one, and the wacom began its flickering/sporadicly responsive shenanigans. it was working fine on a Vista machine, but today that same problem occured. no amount driver reinstalling seems to help. its still working fine on a third machine, so i KNOW its not the tablet. this is driving me insane. please help!
Same here, except it dosent turn on at all. the light remains off. for awhile if I jiggled the wire it would turn on again but there dosent appear to be anything wrong with the wiring so what do i do? ....evil....
