Graphics Tablet on 2 Screens Stops Working
I am having a problem with my graphics tablet. It works just fine on both screens after a reboot, however after a little while (I am not sure what exactly is causing it to do this) it just suddenly reverts to my main monitor only, and nothing I do seems to make it work again aside from rebooting. Also at the same time that it stops working on both monitors, I also no longer get the "Ripple" effect on the screen when I tap on the pad (the visual feedback on screen to tell you you have clicked) as well as pressing and holding the pen on the pad no longer allows me to "Right-Click". I have no idea what program is causing it to suddenly stop working, however I think it may have something to do with the screen saver, as this is the only thing that almost always comes on each day (I don't always use the exact same programs each day). What I have tried to fix this problem so far: -Stop/Start Tablet PC Service -Unplug Tablet from USB, then re-plug -Change my Main Monitor to the other one (this makes the tablet only work on the other monitor, no difference otherwise) Also tried un-checking "Extend Desktop on This Screen", applying, then undo and apply again -Exit the Sys Tray App for the tablet (PenSuite) then re-open it -Disable/Enable the Tablet's driver from Device Manager -Change screen saver to a regular Windows one, not a 3rd party saver My system setup is as follows: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4ghz ASUS P5QE Motherboard 4gb Ram EVGA GeForce 8800gt 512mb LG L226WTQ 22" & LG L206W 20" LCD Monitors Windows Vista Ultimate x86 Graphics Tablet: Genius PenSketch 9x12 Pen Tablet Please let me know if you have had this problem and were able to fix it, it is very annoying having to reboot every time I come back to my computer. Also I am trying to use MS Expression Studio as a Evaluation currently, and having to reboot every time I come back is causing the Trial period to go by way to fast (you get 30 times to launch Exp Web for example) so I can't really get much use out of it, I started the trial 2 days ago and I only have 18 times left to open it... Thank you in advance for your help with this! -Cam M -- Cam_M |
