SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

18

Important: You MUST install the Wacom driver software for correct pen-on-screen functionality.

Save your work and close all open applications. Temporarily disable any virus protection programs.

Insert the Installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the software installer menu does not automatically display, double-click on the INSTALL icon located on the CD. (You can also download and install the latest software driver, when available, from the Wacom web site for your region.)

Click INSTALL TABLET and follow the prompts to install the driver software.

Reactivate your virus protection program.

After completing the software installation, make sure you can use your pen on the interactive pen display to move the screen cursor.

When you place the pen tip on the display screen, the screen cursor should immediately jump to a corresponding position approximately beneath the pen tip. Lift the pen tip and place it on the display screen surface in a different location. The screen cursor should again jump to the new position. This is known as absolute positioning, and enables you to position the screen cursor without having to drag your pen across the display screen surface.

Be sure to check the Read Me file for updated information. If you have trouble installing the pen display, see troubleshooting.

Notes:

Driver installation automatically activates the new pen input functions available within Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, and Office 2007 or later (except for Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic, and Windows Vista Home Basic). Visit the Wacom web site at www.wacom.com/vista for additional information on using your Wacom pen in Windows.

User-specific preferences are supported. After logging in, each user can customize their personal settings in the Wacom Tablet control panel. Switching to another user will automatically load the settings for that user.

To uninstall the software driver, see uninstalling the interactive pen display.

If the pen display does not respond properly or you lose cursor control, the pen display preferences may be corrupted. You can delete the current preference settings and return the pen display to its factory default condition. See managing preferences.

Next, see calibrating the pen display to precisely align the screen cursor to the pen tip.
