Wacom bamboo help.

For all those that use graphics tablets, i recently started using my graphics tablet again.

Previously used it on XP with no issue but on vista 64bit im having a really annoying issue.

Basicly whenever i hold shift or ctrl etc it pops up in a little bubble on top of any open windows.

You could argue this is only a minor thing but its REALLY distracting :mad:

Like this^

Anyone know of a way to disable this or any workarounds?

Google so far has failed me, ive already disabled the Tablet pc optional components.

Cheers

You didn't state which version of the Bamboo you are using, but the drivers are the same.

Try the drivers from here:

If the latest drivers don't fix it then email Wacom support.

I had this problem and trawled through my history to remember what the fix is:

\"*control panel/pen and input devices/(tab)Pen Options/(untick)use
the pen button as a right click equivalent*\"

That should do the trick I think. Seems to be a Vista only bug if I recall as I'm running W7 and it doesn't apply.
