Have you been able to get it working yet? My first guess would be to go into the tablet software and see if there's anything in there that looks off. Is the pen showing up in the tool list? What's listed in the applications box at the top? If all that checks out then try re-installing it.

I found out what the problem was but dont know how to fix it, My usb and sound card are sharing the same IRQ number and they conflict with each other when using the tablet. Im getting a new computer wednesday so im hoping this will not be a problem on the new one. What OS are you using megan?

To remedy that problem, just move your sound card into a different slot, I had that problem with video and sound..

I'm on ME and I seem to be having the same problem now (well, the tablet is fine but the sound isn't working) - there's only two ports there so I'm hoping that if I switch them it'll work ???? I guess I'll try it and see... okay, seems fine now...
