wacom tablet + CS4 + No pressure sensitivity

hi there.... im having the same problem, im not a wacom user, but with my Genius tablet cant activate the pressure pen. On CS3 it works fine..... any other idea???? thanks people....

another question... how real is that XP64 have not GPU support? I have to move on to vista??? i wish not...

sorry for my english

I am a bit of a pauper and have a cheap tablet and pen. Pressure sensitivity works fine in CS, but the pen hardly works at all in CS4 as a drawing tool. No matter what I do, I get a thin straight line between the start point and the end point. Is this the same problem?

Chris,

Thanks. Yes, intuos2 tablet. And I've assigned both pen and mouse to PS with default settings. The problem with diagnosis is that I can't find what's knocking out the tool palette. Last night all was well until I ran a hue/sat adjustment, then no tools. Today on starting up, all was ok again, ran a hue/sat adjustment and no problem ;-) Something or a combination of things is knocking out the tool palette at some point in photoshop. Once that happens, all other adjustments and filters, etc. work, just no tools. No crashes, no error messages.

Are you using a Wacom tablet?........if so, go into the tablet control panel and assign the pen to photoshop - leave pen buttons / tip clicks etc on default. See if that helps.

I'm having similar problems where most of the tools in the tool bar stop working - brush, clone, heal, dodge/burn. It seems like it's after I run an adjustment or adjustment layer. I can run filters with no problem. I have the most recent drivers for GEforce 7600GS and wacom intuos2. XP Pro SP3 32bit.

I'm in conversation with wacom about the issue - I will report back if it's resolved.

BSOD can only be caused by hardware, OS or drivers.
Adobe doesn't provide any of those.

OK.....After much reformatting and reinstalling it seems to work on a totally clean system - vista sp1 / latest wacom and nvidia driver.

If you start PS by using the mouse the pressure sensitivity is off but as soon as the pen touches the tablet it's activated - which is probably normal. 8 hours to get it working is not impressive...

I have contacted Wacom...

also after the cs4 install I occationally get a 0x00000018 bsod with vista x64 - pointer issue. hardware? or have adobe signed into the dodgy programmers club

will do
