Wacom problems with vista

To solve the problem, turn the DpAgent. Rename it with a different name to prevent it from running automatically when Windows starts. Some have seen this problem of linked toolbars not flying out without a Wacom tablet. Several have reported that if a wireless Logitech mouse is used with a Microsoft mouse driver, the toolbar flyouts don't work.

Matching up the mouse hardware and driver seems to fix the problem. This problem was partially fixed with V4 SR4. A problem remains with displaying Tooltips in cascaded flyout toolbars. A fix to this problem will be available in Rhino 4 Service Release 3 SR3 which is currently under development.

We will first post the beta to the Rhino Support Newsgroup for testing by the user base. Watch the Rhino Support Newsgroup for this announcement. When we finalize SR3, it will be available to download off the Rhino web site's download page.

I did this to all 3 entries. I don't know if it was necessary or not. If you try this and it works for you too, can you be so kind as to update this thread. Also, if it didn't work, please take a minute and let us know. What do you mean by sleep? Are you actually putting selecting sleep instead of shutdown? Or is this a laptop? My computer a desktop running Vista 64 goes into screen saver mode every once in a while, but never goes into sleep like a closing the lid on a laptop.

So far no issues with my Wacom. My computer will go to sleep like a laptop on battery if not used for some period of time mine is set to 1 hour. No reason to waste all that energy, create all that heat, and wear out components when the machine is not in use. That may solve the problem, otherwise turn it off and reboot. Unplugging it before sleep may also help?

Maybe you'll be playing in the registry and Windows files Check Event viewer for errors and fix any applicable ones you find; it may be a simple misconfiguration which is common to all Windows systems. Blame MS They don't like dealing with a haughty MS or it's buggy Vista. If you not attached to vista, XP will probably perform better, but may share the same problem; I rarely use the sleep mode except on my laptop. I think it's a power state setting that can be fixed Turns out the unchecking the "don't power down USB" in the Device Manager does nothing to help as the problem is a software connection loss that needs to be established when the machine boots.

This clealy a Wacom problem as their driver has not registered for the correct message events that would let them know when the computer was in sleep mode and being awoke. Wacom just has their head up their ass. In fact, if you contact Wacom about this they will tell you straight away this works this way on Windows and Macs. But as I said in the last paragraph to my initial post, a solution is to change the Recovey setting for the service.

Not elequent but it works. I can't believe more folks don't use Sleep mode. I'm sure it is the same people that complain about the price of gas and then leave the Escalade idling while they run into the store. It can be a pain to find, and solutions aren't always perfect. Some can really cause trouble if not remedied though. In the winter my machine provides some needed heat, and most times it's doing something even if it's just a DVD or.

It's better to just leave them on, same as hard drives, although in the long run they will probably go obsolete first! I guess I'm too impatient to power down when I'm not using my computer.

Plus, I never really know when 5 minutes will turn into 90 minutes. I don't know about you, but my computer takes about 1. In there was an estimated miillion computers in the USA. That number today is more like million. That equates to 1 billion gallons of gas saving per month or about 25 million barrel per month. The USA uses about 25 million barrels per day, so that is 1-day savings every month. Think about it. The first time it did this on my Vista box I thought I had a power failure during the night..

The machine appeared completely off, no lights, no fans, nothing. I grabbed the mouse out of habit and it awoke almost instantly seconds. The "sleep" mode in Vista seems completely different and a huge improvement over previous incarnations. I can see why the original poster wants to keep using it. Um what are you talking about? My XP Pro loaded laptop takes seconds to come out of sleep not hibernation to desktop, and another to acquire a wi-fi connection.

I just did it, I use it on this laptop constantly. In sleep mode no motors are running after about seconds on this laptop; you power settings or bios settings were incorrectly set. Nothing to do with power settings or BIOS Vista's sleep mode is a combination of standby and hibernate. It shuts down everything except the Ram and the chip.

It's more advanced than XP's power management and uses less power It's greener as you say Sleep standby mode in XP works ok as best I can tell. Vista stops being green as soon as it boots and negates any difference rather rapidly. On my tower machine I wouldn't want the fans to stop. They draw little current, and cooling components need the air circulation to help avoid thermal damage from repeated cycles.

Support issues like these are not only with Wacom, many big corporations have issues like these. While I said a lot of bad things about Wacom in this post. Things I believe they deserve. I think I need to mention that they have their good side. Despite all the horrible experience they made for their customers face because of their drivers.

There are times where they did wonderful things. Like that time when they replaced a Cintiq Companion even after warranty is done , which was quite nice of them. I think Wacom hardware is still good for the most part.

Sure they have issues like the connectors of the Cintiq 13HD. Or the graphics cards issue with the MobileStudio Pro.

And you may be aware of the options to use. There are 3 kinds of alternatives out there. These are the most obvious alternatives among the bunch. These competitors are still behind Wacom in the technical side of things, by the time I am writing this post.

For one, Wacom have 4K screens on their inches Cintiq Pros, while the competitors still ship their products with P resolution. I am sure these competitors will release a 4K pen display soon. As they have been catching up to what Wacom is doing.

They are totally worth trying. As they could work for you. I, for example, ended up returning my Monoprice inch reviewed here , since I find it hard to use. I once used a Chinese graphics tablet that worked quite well with the driver that came in the CD, except that the wireless feature never worked with pressure at all. So I tried installing a new driver, which kept hanging during installation. One thing I noticed about that tablet is that you needed to press a bit more for a stroke to register.

So keep that in mind before you try them. Some 3rd party companies produced computers that uses Wacom digitizer. These devices can be cheaper than Wacom too. The main issue with these devices is that the company that licensed the digitizer may not continue to license it in the future.

So you may have to face this issue every time you renew your device. That makes them interesting competitors to Wacom. I am an advocate to the iPad pro. You only need to pair the Apple pencil to your iPad. Download one or more drawing apps, and then enjoy drawing.
