Slice0Pie 815 December 31, 2014 Share December 31, 2014 Please, I really really REALLY NEED HELP! My Intuos5 Tablet is busted. Here is the story; I couldn't figure out how to work the pen pressure. Someone told be to install the driver thing, because wacom tablets get wonky (I thank you for helping me). So I downloaded it, restarted my computer, now everything is messed up. I can't even draw in Paint Tool SAI now. Every time I press my pen on the tablet and just try to draw, it won't work. Every time I drag, lift up my pen, and drag again, the mouse just goes back in the middle of the screen. Honestly I am so upset. And really pissed off. I just wanted to fix the pen pressure. Now everything is messed up. I am seriously so fucking mad and upset now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritum 257 December 31, 2014 Share December 31, 2014 Have you tried resetting your preferences? Search your computer for the Wacom Preference File Utility, launch it, and under "All User Preferences" his remove, and see if that does anything. That's generally a cure-all I use to fix any issues with my tablet. Otherwise, I'm not really sure. Have you tried googling the issue? Just by the way, the preference reset usually fixes pen pressure as well. 2 Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

You may need to relaunch it 1 or 2 times after you reset it. 1 Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Ridley Wolf 291 December 31, 2014 Share December 31, 2014 Have you tried any other drawing programs? It may that that your tablet is fine, but Paint Tool SAI is having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really fun to read xD Have you tried any other drawing programs? It may that that your tablet is fine, but Paint Tool SAI is having issues. I don't really want to feel like trying an other drawing programs since I just bought Paint Tool SAI and it'll feel like a waste of money :c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try going into "Wacom Preferences" (not the file utility) and switch to the pen tab, and just check around there to see if anything is amiss (I am not familiar with the Intuous tablet, since I just have a bamboo :C) And maybe trying other programs would work, try a free one like GIMP or something just to see if the pen pressure works, so you can pinpoint the issue (either if it's with Sai or the tablet itself) Edited December 31, 2014 by qMotus 1 Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Open MS Paint and scribble a few lines. If the tablet works, then you know that the problem is with SAI and not the tablet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have MS Paint and Gimp, and the pen pressure doesn't work on either, so I'm guessing it is the tablet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doz2nd 294 January 1, 2015 Share January 1, 2015 (edited) Have you tried installing the drivers you got with the tablet. I got a disc with specific drivers for my intuos5. That were for just the pen pressure option. Edited January 1, 2015 by Doz2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still does it's evil thing. This seems like something odd but try closing your web browser while installing both Sai and the driver (guy with the fix didn't specify which program).

Besides reinstalling the correct driver, that's it. But you've already done that several times.
