My pen isn't working

[mittromag2191]

So I've been using this drawing tablet (i think it's a Wacom Intuous) with photoshop for awhile now and it's always worked great. But recently it's beem doing this thing where it won't accept brush commands if it's zoomed in even a little. It'll just move the screen around. It acts like I'm always using the hand feature. Help.u

Hi

Try either one of these

1. Use notepad to create a text file and type in :

UseSystemStylus 0

2. Save the file as PSUserConfig.txt in the following location

C: > Users > Username > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 > Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings

3. Go to the Wacom tablet properties and for Photoshop under Mapping  uncheck "Use Windows Ink"

Or

1 Select everything inside the quotes here (don't include the quotes): “reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pen /v LegacyPenInteractionModel /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f”

2 Copy it with Ctrl + C on the keyboard.

3 Type Windows Key + X (together), a menu will appear

4 Then type "A" on the keyboard. That will give you an elevated administrator PowerShell command prompt.

5 Paste the command you copied into that window with Ctrl + V

6 Hit "Enter" on the keyboard

7 Reboot

If you go for the first option you may need to enable hidden items in file explorer

Thanks! The First one fixed it up.

Could you explain how if you don't mind?
