So I just started using Windows 7, and now every so often when I'm using cs6, the brush will just lag for a couple seconds, and if I move the cursor away from where it started lagging, when it stops, it just draws a straight line to where I moved the cursor. It doesn't happen a whole lot, but it happens enough to be extremely frustrating. I updated the drivers for my tablet, but that didn't help. Anyone got any ideas?
What kind of CPU do you have? What's the RPM on your primary hard drive?
Also, have you tried changing the settings via bamboo dock?

I have AMD Athlon 64 4000+ 2.40 GHz processor and 3 GB ram. The rpm is 7200. I don't think its my tablet, cause it only lags in flash, I can draw in autodesk sketchbook perfectly fine (except the eraser on my pen isn't being an eraser, strange). What settings would I change anyway?
Could be any number of things. Is autosave on? If so the software simply doesn't let you make any changes while it's saving.
It could be a ton of other weird things going on with Flash/memory/etc., as well. I'd say just get cozy with command/control z and thank the Gods of Flash that it isn't crashing on you each time each time this happens.

I don't mind it when it autosaves, but yeah, I figured I would have to just get used to it lagging lol

I used to have similar problems, but updating the drivers for my tablet fixed some of that. It didn't solve everything though, so I went into my Pen tablet options and there's a setting for Tip Feel that ranges from "Soft to Firm"
I have my settings maxed out at "firm" and that completely got rid of the trailing problem. <<<-This was actually the PRIMARY solution to my problem. Of course, you don't need to max it, but find something closer to firm to fit your needs.
^What that setting does is change the sensitivity of when your pen tip makes contact with the tablet. If you have it set to completely soft, then when you raise your pen a few millimeters off the tablet to move it, the brush will still follow your pen for a short period of time.
Other factors include lag from autosave and setting the undo levels too high, but these are minor. The primary problem will be the Tip Feel settings.
Sorry for double post, but I forgot to add that you might have to restart your computer, or kill the pentablet.exe process in your task manager + reconnect your tablet in order for the changes to take effect.

That's weird, cause I already have the tip feel pretty high up. I'll try changing the number of undo's, cause it is pretty high. Thanks!
Well i get really mad whenever that happens so i delete my tablet drivers and redownload

Lots of different possible solutions. I guess you're just gonna have to keep trying until you find one that works specifically for you. But if you only have this issue in Flash, then how about updating Flash? Or maybe they haven't released an update to fix your specific problem for your specific pen tablet yet.

I updated flash, I already updated m tablet drivers, and I lowered the undo limit, but nothing works. It's weird, cause this never used to happen when I was using flash 8 on xp (I actually have the same problem in flash 8 on windows 7 too), and I switched computers because I THOUGHT this one would work better, because it has more ram and a better processor, but nope. Is flash supposed to use a shit load of cpu?

Hmm let's see. Flash doesn't get "heavy" until you're animating with 2,000-3,000 frames or if you have a bunch of imported photos that aren't optimized, then it might bog down your flash too. Before I get into fill and photo optimization, I guess it's important to ask if you've tried using the brush tool on a completely new document to see if it works?
Oh I guess knowing the make and model of your tablet is important information I should have asked days ago.

I have a Wacom Bamboo Create tablet, and I have tried in a completely new document, and it still lags sometimes, not quite as bad, but still bad enough. I'm gonna try putting an even better processor in my computer and see if that works. I think that the processor just can't quite handle my tablet, because my friend used to use his Bamboo Splash on this computer, and it worked just fine.

Don't buy a new processor. Here's what you do:
- Go to Control Panel
- Go to Hardware and Sound
- Go to Pen and Touch
- Click on "Press and Hold // Right Click", then click 'Settings'
- Then un-check the box at the top
Next, after you've pressed OK, go to the 'Flicks' tab (which is inside the "Pen and Touch" window), and uncheck the box at the top there.
Then click OK.
If that doesn't work, there's other things you we can do.
And I'm just curious, but does a notification show up showing you that I quoted you?
You can't know what you don't know if you can only use yourself as a reference point.
