WACOM digitizer and pressure sensitivity

Actually, I've just noticed that the pressure sensitivity works like a charm in Windows Notes and handwriting... Weird

Yes, Aero Snap is what you mentioned and more. There is a tutorial on it in that section. It shows how to turn it off. This is just a long shot, but it would not hurt to try.

I am holding off installing CS4 to test to see if you find a solution, but if you use CS3, it won't be a good test anyway.

Do you get that floating handwriting to text window with your Tablet PC. I had never seen that before?

I suppose the Adobe forums don't have an answer about this?

Funnycat, I finally installed CS4 and the Pen Tablet. Like you, I got no pressure sensitivity prior to installing the WACOM drivers.

After I installed the drivers I found something that would seem to be directly related to your situation. If you haven't seen it, go to Start Menu - Pen Tablet folder. Try using the Pen tablet properties. I haven't tried changing the settings, but it looks like it might do what you want. My pen currently goes the entire desktop whether I have CS4 open or not.

If there is some specific detail you need me to check, let me know how to set it up and what to look for.

Just a note, the next time I rebooted after installing CS4, I got a boot error message-first one. Don't know for sure it was related to CS4..

Ok, a small update - I installed build 7048 for the XDDM fixes and the tablet situation is still the same:
- The only driver installed is the Penabled HP Minidriver
- Pressure sensitivity works in Sticky notes, not in Photoshop
- Q buttons work
I'll try to keep the minidriver and install the wacom driver now.

Okay, now that I installed the driver, the pressure sensitivity works in Photoshop, although I bumped into another issue - now the side button on the pen would always right click when I press it even though in wacom settings it's set to hold&tap which should make the right click registered from tapping the screen while holding the button

Ooookay, and now for a non-apparent reason I can't draw in sticky notes, it thinks the pen is a mouse

I have the same problem as funnycat. Did you resolve it? With windows 7 RC my wacom bamboo fun only works for the top left corner of the screen when i use photoshop 7. I also found the same problem in Inkscape, Blender and Open Canvas. I am using the Wacom 5.1.1-1 drivers. When i close those programs the pointer returns to the full screen and seems to function properly. Anybody else have this problem and maybe a solution?


Thanks

Well I had the same problem with my Bamboo Fun and Windows 7 Pro and I've found a "sort of" fix

I stopped the tablet services,
first the: TabletServicePen and second the: TabletInputService
Then I started them again, in the same order! (tried "restart", but this didn't work)

Dont really know if the order has to be the same but this is how I did it.
Since this happens every time I reboot. I have made a .bat file which contains the code bellow. This is very handy since a only have to execute this file instead of typing it manually or go into the control panel...

BAT file
1. Make a .txt document
2. Open it and copy/paste the code bellow
3. Save and close it
4. Rename the file to wacom-restore.bat instead of *.txt
5. Select the file and press enter :)
6. Now should everything be OK, but you have to do this every time you restart the computer!

Code:

net stop TabletServicePen
net stop TabletInputService
net start TabletServicePen
net start TabletInputService
