Windows Ink makes Photoshop unusable - Can't use WinTab fix.
Hey there!
I just got a brand new Wacom Cintiq 16 today and was stoked to try it, but after four hours of trying to fix this issue, I'm at my wits end.
I was experiencing that really annoying input lag cased by Windows Ink. Once every 4-5 clicks in Photoshop, it caused an input lag where all my actions wouldn't be carried out until I lifted my pen off the surface of the tablet, and then my actions would load all at once. This made drawing nearly impossible. As always, disabling Windows Ink by itself would disable my pen pressure.
I disabled Windows Ink by using the WinTab UseSystemStylus 0 fix where you write that into a .txt file and paste it into the Photoshop settings folder. But now, every time I open photoshop, the cursor of my tablet freezes on first click. It isn't Photoshop that's frozen, because I can move the cursor using my laptop touchpad, and if I move the cursor away from photoshop, I can continue to use the tablet normally. The cursor is only frozen so long as Photoshop is 'active' on my tablet screen.
I've tried running Photoshop as Adminstrator, and restarted both the program and my laptop god knows how many times. Nothing.
So what do I do now?! I can't have Windows Ink enabled cause that makes input lag so bad I can't draw, and I can't disable it with the usual fix cause that freezes the cursor on my tablet. I didn't have this weird freezing problem on my really old Wacom Bamboo tablet I was using before.
