Issues with calibrating tablet pressure sensitivity in Vista.
I recently purchased a laptop to replace my old desktop (a Gateway MD series notebook, operating on Windows Vista Home Premium). I've had a Wacom Intuos3 tablet for about four years now, and when it came time to re-install all of my hardware, I downloaded the most current drivers from Wacom. The tablet functions fine on the new machine. . . but I can't enable pressure sensitivity.
I've researched online, and the only relevant information I could find involved issues solely with the presure sensitivity not working in graphics programs, or with tablet PCs. I've tried going to Tablet Settings and calibrating, as I was able to do in XP. I get a message that says to "tap whenever the crosshair appears", but the crosshair remains in the left-hand corner, and the only way I can see my cursor is by tapping the tablet pen to see the ripple effects. Tapping the crosshair does nothing, and I had to manually Alt+F4 out of the application.
So, I suppose what I'm asking is this: How do you enable pressure sensitivity in Vista? I know I had to manually calibrate it in XP, and wonder if the process is the same with Vista. I've read on Wacom's website that pressure sensitivity is disabled in Windows Ink, but I can't get it to work in Photoshop 7.0, either, even though I have gone to Brushes>Shape Dynamics and activated "pen pressure".
Any help would be apreciated.
