Tablet Problem/installat ion proble 2010-12-29 15:10:18 Reply

right in the middle of a big project my old-ass computer starts majorally screwing up. I recently got a laptop, so i thought i'd uninstall flash from my family com and then install in on my laptop so i could resume my project there. Flash all works and such but my tablet is acting different and it didn't install properly.

(i have windows 7) When i plugged it in to my laptop for the first time a little thingy ma doodle popped up in the bottom right corner of my screen saying "installing software" then next thing i knew everything was installed. But my tablet buttons dont work, the button that initiates the hand tool on my pen doesnt work, and when im hovering the pen over my tablet, it acts too much like a mouse (if you have a wacom bamboo tablet you probably know what i mean)

I looked all over and i cant find the setup for my tablet anywhere. At the risk of sounding really stupid with computers how can i install my tablet properly so that the window with the settings for my tablet (what the buttons do, how it acts etc) pops up and whanot.

How old is your tablet?

If you have an old laptop, it may just be the fact that your computer isn't able to handle your tablet, or that your tablet isn't compatable with Windows 7. What OS does your family's computer run?

There was a CD that came with the tablet, insert it and it will install properly.
Windows is retarded and thinks "hey, I'll install that!" and then installs some generic tablet driver.
