Wacom tablet driver keeps crashing4/24/2023 ![]() I believe it is because CSP has a different way of interacting with the wacom drivers. No other software application causes this (I use around 4 different paint applications apart from CSP (Clip Paint Studio) and none was causing this problem. Is this enough reason to crash a device, that CSP would cause some conflict and would crash? Apparently it odes, as now it does not crash, the pen does not stop working :). In my general Windows Panel Settings Wacom driver, I have it to force the tablet area to keep proportions with my monitor ratio.īut. The very last option was the only one I had never tested. At tablet area to be used, set it as : " use it keeping the monitor's aspect ratio ". At " Monitor area ", set it as : " Using ALL the screen. At working tablet area or surface : Set the working tablet area with the application -> this has to be selected, marked, ON. ' Use the mouse mode in the tablet driver settings ', this NEEDS to be NOT selected, not marked. Wintab (but it has been ' wintab ' since the start, I just tried for a moment ' Tablet PC ' to try to guess the issue) So, it is the sleep (energy save) mode, or, more likely, much more possibly, that my specific Wacom Intuos Pro 4 XL DTP tablet can only work without the driver being crashed by CSP *IF* I set the following exact settings, at " tablet " area in CSP preferences : The other software applications do not make wacom stopping to work). The other possibility would be that maybe putting the machine to sleep (energy save) mode confuses CSP somehow, and forces to a pen device crash (not a problem with any other application. I am starting to believe it might just be that my specific tablet with this csp (Clip Paint Studio Pro) version only works well with the exact preferences I have in CSP right now. The Wacom driver was not either, as now is working many hours, have not changed neither reinstalled the driver (I was 99% certain it was not the issue, works with all applications), I have not touched it. ![]() Also, an utility that I have that captures keystrokes or pen buttons and sends instead different keys/mouse actions to each application (NOT wacom's, is a third party tool), is not the cause, either. The regular mouse does not affect it, it can be used and switch constantly with the pen. It's an intel i7 860 2.8 GHz, 8gb RAM, GTX 275 1 GB vram, HD Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm, Windows 7 (Aero disabled) Home Premium 64 bits. My machine is old, but I get it to handle any task, even very heavy ones (2D or 3D), and as mentioned, any other painting app works great. I post this question in case someone else did hit this wall already and knows of a permanent fix. It's simply a pity as I know by experience that CSP is way superior for what is drawing and inking. All the other apps run perfectly fine, they never do this to me. I'm not saying this things angry (just sad, as other than this show-stopping issue, the feel is great and performance is superb), I know tablet stuff can get complex, but I've been always able to solve any driver/tablet issue (I'm quite a geek with these things.), even in worst cases. But interrupts the work so much that will have to consider it as money lost and go back to my previous but inferior tools. I am not sure if it is when it detects focus is given to other window or Windows toolbar, or just a timer thing (I have tried different CSP preferences combinations, no luck), or simply random. ![]() I have to do it as it totally disables the wacom tablet for all Windows, the cursor stops moving, only reacts to my old Logitech mouse. Sometimes it works for hours without a problem). After a pair of disable/enables, I still have to restart again the Wacom Pro service, then restart the app, and after some time, it does it again (randomly. This is an outstanding issue : As much as I am loving how superior is this software in the brush feel (and in so many other matters), both for pencils and inking, (so much better than any other software) I get interrupted several times a day in my work (big interruptions), needing to not only restart CSP, not only also needing to restart the Wacom Service (I'm on Windows 7), I even have to disable the Wacom device in the devices admin, being this almost a hardware level solution.
