So basically, sometimes I'll open up Flash and the pen pressure button's gone. I can't do anything about it (as far as I know) unless I reboot.

But anyway, does this happen to anyone else? It's kinda annoying.

Personally, I do not use sensitivity, I feel better without it. Advice given to me by Jordan D.

When I stopped using it I felt that much better and in more control, perhaps if I buy a more advanced tablet such as the Cintiq and so on, then I might try the sensitivity out but until then with my Wacom Bamboo I stick without the Sensitivity.

Perhaps try updating your drivers? Google search wacom bamboo drivers, the latest ones are on Wacom's website.

Yep, happens to me all the time. It's a combination of Adobe being shit and Wacom being shit.
Nothing you can do about it but restart.
Occasionally my tablet buttons stop working aswell. I go to make a new frame and it doesn't work. It's lame..

I'm definitely on the latest drivers. I've updated and downgraded and everything.

Actually, I went into Program Files and found some old Monoprice tablet files. I removed them a few days ago, so I'll get back to this thread if the pen pressuring doesn't disappear after a while.

Which tablet do you have?
I have the original (American) Bamboo. I've never had a problem with the buttons, except the LEDs going out after a few years. But then again, I rarely ever use the buttons.
I fully believe this isn't something on Wacom's part, though. They're usually really good at this whole tablet business (except maybe with pricing). It's gotta be something else, IMO, but I could be wrong.
