TABLET INSTALLATION

For information on connecting the Wacom tablet to
your system and installing the tablet software, refer
to the installation guide that came with your tablet.
(The guide may be printed, or located on the Wacom
tablet CD.)

IMPORTANT! For USB tablets, if your PC was not
configured with a USB keyboard or USB mouse, it may
not support USB devices while in Windows Safe Mode.
In this case, your tablet will not function in Safe
Mode.

  * WINDOWS 98 FIRST EDITION -
    USING DIFFERENT USB PORTS *
    A USB tablet will work only on the USB port where
    it was installed.  If you plug the tablet into a
    different USB port, the Add New Hardware dialog
    will display.  (Windows must set up the proper
    registry information for each port.)  To allow the
    tablet to work on multiple USB ports, go through
    the installation process for each port.  It is not
    necessary to insert a CD or copy any files since
    they are already installed.  Select Skip File when
    asked to copy a file.


KNOWN ISSUES AND WORKAROUNDS

  * GENERAL NOTES *

    WINDOWS 95 & 98 - REPLACING SERIAL MOUSE
    WITH TABLET
    If the tablet driver does not load after replacing
    your serial mouse, do the following:

    1. Close all open applications.  Click Start.
       Then select Settings and Control Panel.

    2. Double-click on the System icon.  In the
       System Properties control panel, select the
       Device Manager tab.

    3. Remove the mouse from the Device Manager.
       (The mouse will stop functioning.)  Then press
       Alt+F4 to close the System Properties control
       panel.

    4. Disconnect your serial mouse and connect the
       Wacom tablet.

    5. Press Ctrl+Esc to select the Start button.
       Then type "r" to select Run....

    6. Insert the Wacom tablet CD into your computer.
       Type the letter of your CD-ROM drive and
       :\setup.  For example, d:\setup

    7. Press Enter and follow the setup dialog prompts.

       Note: See the below note, entitled MISSING
       SCREEN CURSOR, if the screen cursor is
       not visible.

    WINDOWS NT 4.0 - TABLET NOT FOUND
    AT SYSTEM BOOT-UP
    If an input device is left on the tablet during
    boot-up, NT 4.0 sometimes will register the tablet
    as a mouse, and the tablet driver does not load.
    To avoid this problem, remove all input devices from
    the tablet surface prior to booting up NT 4.0.

    FOR LCD/PEN-TABLETS: If your tablet is not
    detected after starting or restarting Windows NT,
    the NTDETECT program may have incorrectly
    identified the tablet as a serial mouse and loaded
    the mouse driver.  If this occurs, switch off the
    tablet’s power for a few seconds, then turn it back
    on and restart Windows.  To avoid this problem
    always power down your tablet when shutting down
    or restarting Windows NT.

    WINDOWS 95 & 98 -
    MISSING SCREEN CURSOR
    If you have disconnected a serial mouse and the
    screen cursor is not visible, you can reattach the
    mouse and add a second serial card for the tablet,
    or you can do the following:

    1. Press Ctrl+Esc, then type "s" and "c" to open
       the Control Panel window.

    2. Use the arrow keys to select the Accessibility
       Options icon.  Then press Enter to open the
       Accessibility Properties control panel.
       Note that if this icon is not visible, you will
       need to install this Windows component using the
       Add/Remove Programs control panel.

    3. Press Shift+Tab, then right arrow, right arrow
       to select the Mouse tab.

    4. Press Alt+m to select the Use MouseKeys checkbox.

    5. Tab to OK and press Enter.

    6. Answer Yes to the prompt on using the setting
       for default.  The screen cursor should appear.

    INTUOS TABLETS: AFTER CHANGING THE TABLET
    ORIENTATION, TABLET BUTTON ICONS DO NOT
    APPEAR
    When using the tablet in the Portrait or Landscape
    Flipped orientation, the tablet menu button icons
    will not display on your monitor.  However, the
    tablet menu buttons are still functional.


  * SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY NOTES *

    WINDOWS MILLENIUM (Me)
    This Wacom driver software was tested with a beta
    version of Windows Me.  Wacom cannot guarantee
    that this driver will be compatible with future
    releases of Windows Me.  If you experience a
    problem with Windows Me when using your tablet,
    please check Wacom's web site at www.wacom.com
    for a driver update.

    LCD/PEN-TABLETS: WINDOWS 98 -
    COMPATIBILITY WITH MULTIPLE VIDEO CARDS
    If the PB-MAX video card is installed as Monitor #1,
    other video cards may not function.  If this occurs
    arrange the video cards in the PCI slots so that the
    PB-MAX card is not the primary monitor.

    DELAYED OR MISSING PEN STROKES
    When Sensiva is loaded it can cause missing or
    delayed pen strokes in some graphic applications
    (e.g. Deep Paint). If you see these symptoms,
    exit Sensiva and check if they disappear. 

    Note: You can configure Sensiva not to load at
    startup by going to Preferences under the
    Customizing Sensiva menu and unchecking the "Launch
    at Windows Startup" option.  Sensiva can be loaded
    manually by clicking the Start menu button, going to
    Programs and Sensiva and selecting Sensiva.

    MICROSOFT ACCESS V2.0
    MS PROJECT 4.0
    QUARK EXPRESS
    QUICKBOOKS PRO 5.0
    Using the pen to click or double-click in a field
    causes the screen cursor to freeze.  In this
    situation, move your PS/2 or serial mouse to
    unfreeze the screen cursor.
