wacom tablet + CS4 + No pressure sensitivity

...or do a clean install - o/s , drivers then software.....that works for the Wacom tablets - not sure how well 'Genius' tablets are supported generally !!.....

I actually don't think it's an issue with cs4, so just reinstalling that is a waste of time.

the solution is to contact the company that makes the tablet ("Genius"?) and tell them there's a problem with cs4. then they fix it and release a new driver for you.

Sympathizing with the 'straight line' tablet problem, it's really frustrating to see that my tablet does not work well with PS CS4. I have done a search on an update on my drivers but I couldn't find any. If any of you could find a solution, please share it with the rest of us. Thanks.

By the way, my tablet is a Genius as well.

For non-Wacom tablets -- contact the tablet maker and see if they have updated their drivers. Some tablet companies are well known for using version specific hacks to make their tablets work correctly - and they have to update their drivers whenever Adobe releases a new version of Photoshop. (I know, that wouldn't happen if those tablet makers really wrote to the published APIs, but, well, that's not under our control)

thanks man, I allways uninstall the old drivers and then install the news.

well anyway thanks. Im waiting for te milacre :D

Yeah, It was a little extreme but all kinds of weird things was happening to my system and a system restore messed up the cs4 install so I had no choice. However, afterward, everything was fine as there were no conflicts between previous drivers ( especially nVidia ) which usually compounds issues.

BTW, the old nVidia drivers need to be completely uninstalled before installing the latest version - Do not install new drivers over the top of old as you will have problems.

hey guys, thanks anyway I will tray re install PS. I really dont know why it's happening.

I think reformat and install is too extreme!!!

For Wacom tablets

Wacom suggests the following for the CS4 issue:

Go to Windows device manager and disable the 'Wacom Virtual HID' device, then restart.

Tablet works well now - but it DID require a reformat and install of the O/S /drivers/ etc.....

Scrub the last message - after restarting PS the problem is back :(

Because of a different problem (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6ced9/1) I have uninstalled CS4 and reinstalled to a totally separate folder from the CS installation. The pen is now working fine.
