You suspect the pen tablet preferences may be corrupted, or want to make certain that all settings are at their factory defaults.
To function properly, some applications require that the pen is set to pen mode. Make sure the pen has not been toggled to mouse mode.

Within your home LIBRARY folder, open the PREFERENCES folder and delete the com.wacom.wacomtablet.prefs file. Log out, then log back in. When the tablet driver loads it will create a new preferences file with the factory defaults.
For multiple users, delete all tablet preferences by first opening the main APPLICATIONS folder. Then open the WACOM TABLET folder and run the REMOVE WACOM TABLET utility. When the utility starts, click on the REMOVE ALL PREFERENCE FILES button. The tablet driver will be restarted, creating new preferences files with the factory defaults.
