Wacom Intuous problem

    Yo all...

    I don't know where else to turn, I've been in the official wacom website, and their knowlege base sucks, for a change...

    Anyways, I'm having this really weird problem, when I'm using the wacom sometimes it simply stops working for 1 or 2 seconds, and then it comes back to life again. it's completely random, and happens every 30 seconds or so.

    It's kinda hard to explain, but It's a really fucking pain in the ass, and I wanted to avoid having to reinstall windows here at my work PC, because well, i got work to do! :-|

    Before you ask, yes this hapens in any apps I'm using, photoshop, mudbox, hell even in explorer.

    And yes, I did uninstall and reinstall the drivers.

    And btw, I tried another wacom from a colleague here at work, and It's the same, so the problem is not from the tablet itself.

    create a new bat:

    if this happens, just hit the bat once and try if it's gone. helped me quite alot.

    alternative ideas: check the pen on different tablets, go to older driver version, try if it happen with your wacom mouse aswell, lift the plastic-layer, clean beneath, clean the hotkeys (ok that shouldn't be the problem), go to former windows reset-point and test again, get yourself an pci-usb2 card (5-15€) and try it again.

    Looks like a problem with the USB connection, the same thing happens with my mouse. Have you tried connecting the tablet on another PC, or USB port?

    I tried everything, I even rooled back to the previous wacom drivers, i guess it helped a bit, but it still happens from time to time, fucking annoying.

    I think I'll have to reformat sooner or latter.

    I figured out what was wrong!! it's the fucking pen!

    I borrowed a pen from a colleague of mines and it works perfectly... I hope the warranty covers this!
