Question by : Why isn't my Bamboo Tablet working? I've had my tablet since Christmas 2010. Then, a few weeks ago, it started to be slow on both my acer and my BRAND NEW LAPTOP that I got in May. The touch doesn't work at all, no matter what. The pen works smoothly, but only on the desktop. Whenever I try to draw on photoshop or manga studio, it moves very slowly and is unable to reach all the corners of the screen. I've unstalled and reinstalled the product multiple times, and when I troubleshooted the item on my computer it said something was wrong with the driver, but it also said that they had fixed it (which didn't fix the problem at all). The funny thing, though, is that it first did this on the laptop, but worked on the PC. Then, it stopped working on the PC and worked on the laptop, and now I can't get it to work on either one. Is it my software? My computer? Or the tablet? Should I get a new one, or try to fix this one? Please help!!!! Best answer for Why isn't my Bamboo Tablet working?:
