wacom and windows 7

[creamcorn]

ever since i installed windows 7 i have had these problems with my wacom bamboo medium:

every time i unplug and replug the tablet from my computer(with xp there was no problem when i did that),or when i turn the computer back on, it doesnt recognise it anymore
i try to move the cursor with the pen but it moves just 3 pixels and stops. what i used to do to fix this, was reinstalling the (same) latest software
but now this shit happens: the blue light keeps going on and off and i keep hearing the connect/disconnect Windows-sound

anyone experience simular shit like this with win7?

I've experienced similar with XP/intuos3 so maybe it's not specifically win7/bamboo

basically the problem was i could only reach a limited area of the screen (this drove me nuts) - or, like you, could only move 3 pixels before the tablet just stopped completely

have you tried uninstalling your current tablet drivers and installing drivers from an older/different date? i'm sure that's what worked for me. i kept the tablet unplugged throughout the entire uninstallation/installation process

hmm i never tried older versions but thats because there used to be only one win7 driver, and i did try that new one that came out in march, no luck either
but thanks tho!

it sounds like a connectivity issue (bad USB plug in/out), but it could also be windows' built-in tablet features conflicting with the wacom drivers. i know in windows 7 this stuff is much easier to disable. in winXP i had to get a user-made registry file in order to shut it off. for me, it was causing this stupid circle animation and menu to come up if i held down the pen in generally the same area for more than maybe half a second.

ah shit yeah, i forgot there'd be like 2 drivers for it

[rtil]

sometimes the driver would also stop working in some places, like pressure sensitivity

YES this happens to me too, really irritating when youre drawing lines, but it never happened in xp only in 7
how do you shut it off?

[rtil]

i have a bookmark at home that explains what it is called and how to turn it off

when i get there i'll find out

the blue light keeps going on and off and i keep hearing the connect/disconnect Windows-sound

this happens once in a while when i connect my tablet, but it usually fixes itself after rebooting. first time i've heard of someone else having this issue though

oh and i'm also using the bamboo medium

"Windows Ink Services Platform Tablet Input Subsystem"

Wisptis.exe (\Windows\System32) This executable runs as a system
service that provides pen-data collection for other components of the
SDK. When a component needs to interact with the pen (for example, to
collect ink or to detect gestures), this executable is spawned as a
service to communicate directly with the input device. On a Tablet PC,
Wisptis.exe interacts with the digitizer, whereas on a desktop it
interacts with the mouse as well. The executable's name is an acronym
that references an outdated internal name for the team that developed it
(Windows Ink Services Platform Tablet Input Subsystem).
