From: eddie on 21 Feb 2007 12:21 Hello, There appears to be a problem using the eraser and lasso tool in Windows Journal using a Wacom pen tablet (Intuos 3 with latest driver for Vista) on a dual monitor system w/ a fresh install of Vista Business. When using the eraser or lasso, the cursors appear where they are supposed to be, however the actual point of erasing and selection are about 300 pixels to the left. Note that there is no problem when using the pen to write - only the eraser and lasso tool. Also note that this only happens when my system is on dual-monitor mode. If I change modes to only a single monitor, the problem goes away and everything works as it should. Finally, this problem does not occur when using a mouse (either a regular one, or the one that came with the tablet). Anybody else experiencing this problem, or where could I submit this as a possible bug to Microsoft? Thanks in advance.
From: Chris H. on 21 Feb 2007 13:16 Haven't seen the issue here, Eddie, but do you have the latest Wacom drivers installed AND the latest graphics drivers available from the manufacturer of your Tablet? Don't rely on Windows/Microsoft Update to feed you the most current (specific to your model) drivers. -- Chris H.

From: eddie on 21 Feb 2007 14:38 Yes, I have the latest drivers installed for my Wacom pen tablet and my graphics driver (currently using a desktop and not a tablet PC).

From: Chris H. on 21 Feb 2007 15:47 You're using Vista on a desktop? So you're using a Wacom writing pad, and not a Tablet PC, with a pen? -- Chris H.

That is correct. As I have read, Vista (Desktop) with a pen tablet (writing tab) functions as a Tablet PC so I posted in both Vista.General as well as here.
