I had issues in general with mine, so I went to the site and updated the drivers and it sorted them all out.
Other option if its fully updated would be to go into the My Tablet tab > Pen Tablet Properties
On the properties page that loads, select the PEN tab and click on mapping. You can set screen info in there.

I don't think there is any software difference between them.
Hardware wise there are 1024 or 2048 levels of sensitivity, and obviously the size comes down to what you can afford and what works for you.
It really takes some getting used too, but for detailed work and drawing it's good. I've just got the small one but it's ok for what I use.

ahh all sorted, it was to do with the metro style homescreen in windows 8, just remapped and its all good. now im having a problem where i cant use the touch feature 
and yeah they are good at doing detailed work and imo much more convenient than pen and paper I've just got to get used to it now and get out of the habit of drawing really sketchy like, if that made any sense
