# Does anyone here have a Easypen/Nisis graphics tablet??
I got one for Christmas, and cant get the bastard to work!! I keep installing the driver, but the Windows 'Add new hardware wizard' keeps coming up, and can find it!

Anyone got any ideas?

# Okay
Well, I've found this works in the past (I'm assuming you're on 98/98SE). Go into device manager and remove anything USB related, the graphics tablet, USB Root Hub, everything.. and then reboot.. Windows 'Should' find everything again fine and it 'should' all work. Basicly it detects multiple instances of the same device and therefore installs multiple drivers.. which can cause a device to conflict with itself.

I'm saying this will work, it's worked for me in the past. But if you're not too hot on PC hardware installs I wouldn't do it, as it can go very pete tong...

# maybe
it would help if you went into control panel, removed the drivers for the tablet, then rebooted and tried again. Not sure if that will help, but I've had problems with devices showing up in control panel a few times until the driver is installed right

# If you havent
YOu must get the drivers off thier site.
Ive installed 3 of them and the packaged drivers never work.

Make sure you de-install the boxed drivers first.
