Exclamation The Great Vista Driver Conundrum

Initially I posted this in a forum I assumed would be more appropriate, but thus far haven't managed to get any answers there. Then I thought "Hey, there are some tech savvy folks hanging around MobileRead. Maybe one of them could help me out!" (well my thoughts aren't actually structure that well, but you get the idea). So here it goes:

Quote:
Okay, so I've been using my Intuos 3 tablet in Vista(32-bit) for several months. It worked fine for the most part, except for a bug that prevented it from coming back on when waking the computer from sleep mode. The latter flaw finally drove me to install the latest Vista drivers. Big mistake! I was presented with this error afterward [see first attachment].

So I follow up by taking Wacom's recommendations: Uninstall the driver, restart, disable Defender and my Antivirus, and then reinstall the new drivers. Still I get the same exact error. I tried again, this time running it in administrator mode. Nothing. Finally I tried the an older driver, using the same process. But still no go.

Note that it still works fine in Windows itself. It's just that the minute I switch to any art program, the cursor stops moving.

So is there anything else I can try to fix this, short of reinstalling the operating system (again)?

--------

Maybe this will help: [see second attachment]

As you can see, at first glance everything seems to be installed. To the right however there are properties for the three unknown devices, which are all Wacom related.
Well that's all. Oh actually one more thing I forget to note there, which was kinda odd, is that Vista actually popped up the usual message telling me the device was detected and asking to install, in the middle of installing the driver software. And it does this regardless of whether the tablet is actually plugged in.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
