Sniff...didn't work...even going into regedit and deleting the key before reinstall. But thanks so much for helping us track down the source. Related question...is there a way to turn a service off and on without restarting? Only way I know to do it is to go into msconfig, and it doesn't take effect w/o restarting. What I can't figure is why it isn't more common. Are Wacom boards really that rare among ebook people? I'd think with covers and such it would be coming up all the time. I wonder if it's just the intuos 4 drivers....I know someone with a bamboo who's using Sigil...I'll ask if she's having a problem. |

An other possibility is to use the task manager. There is a tab "services". There you can turn services on/off with a right click. Last edited by Josch91; 04-04-2010 at 12:58 PM. |

If you find that you are turning a service on/off frequently then you can create a bat file on your desktop with the commands:
Code:
net start "service name" pause Code:
net stop "service name" pause Include the quotes if the name has spaces, e.g. Wacom Tablet Service For anyone not sure how to create a bat file just create a text file and then rename it. e.g create wacomstop.txt and rename to wacomstop.bat |

This has been a pretty interesting thread. I'm on WinXP and I've got a wacom tablet - but I have not used it for at least a year. Recent projects (and the possibility of upgrading to Win7) had me thinking I should re-connect the tablet.
By all means keep us apprised of anything you learn from Wacom. |
