Hi,

I recently upgraded my desktop PC to Vista Ultimate. I mostly use this
machine for graphics (Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2), and pretty
much depend on using a Wacom Intuos3 graphics tablet due to quite bad RSI
problems. It's a fairly nontrivial configuration because I routinely deal
with Photoshop files bigger than 1GB.

The system configuration is AMD Athlon X2 4200+, 4GB RAM, 400GB disc, ATI
Radeon X1600 with two monitors connected (one Apple Cinema HD 23", another
older CRT).

I have attempted without success to install the WACOM drivers -- there are
two versions available on the WACOM web site, but both fail to install with a
'Tablet Service Deployer/Undeployer Stopped Working' error message, followed
by the usual Solution dialog box. WACOM themselves haven't been able to help,
and seem to be suggesting using the tablet without a driver (which turns it
into a very bad mouse with no right button or eraser support, unusable
basically).

If anyone has any bright ideas, I'd gratefully appreciate it, because I have
a tight deadline to meet and I'm currently dead in the water if I have to
rely on using a mouse.

I have already tried the obvious things, such as making sure that I have
admin rights and disabling Windows Defender etc. temporarily -- this doesn't
look like a security issue, it's fairly obviously a crash if you read the
problem report.

Thank you in advance,
Sarah
