Important information for Wacom tablet users.

Installing the latest drivers

If your Wacom device seems to work when you first plug it in, but you experience erratic behavior (for example, problems with stylus pressure or with drifting or offset of the brush stroke), you need the latest tablet driver.

NoteIf you switch from serial to USB devices, try uninstalling the tablet driver and reinstalling it.

For the latest Wacom drivers, go to the Support area of http://www.wacom.com. Install a tablet driver only after you have plugged in the Wacom device, uninstalled the previous driver, and restarted.

NoteFor PC users, do not install Wacom drivers on a Tablet PC. Only install those drivers provided by your Tablet PC manufacturer.
