My Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet is only a few months old and I had not used the pen when I bought it. Its mouse has been working fine. When I used the pen recently it was stuck in the drawing mode all the time, even while hovering!
What I mean by this is that the pen starts drawing as soon as it is hovering within range of the tablet! That is even when the pen is not making physical contact with the tablet. It does not matter which application I use: Paint or Paint.net, the pen always has this behaviour.
I have tried the (1) uninstall (2) reboot (3) install latest Wacom drivers routine, but it has not solved this problem. Does anyone who has faced this problem know how to fix it?
It is out of warranty. You are right, it must be a hardware issue with the pen. I do not have another pen to confirm this.
Damn, their pens are expensive and it looks like I might have to buy a replacement pen! :-( – Ashwin Nanjappa – 2009-07-18T09:18:37.200
