SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Important: You MUST install the Wacom driver software for correct pen-on-screen functionality.
Save your work and close all open applications. Temporarily disable any virus protection programs.
Insert the Installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the software installer menu does
not automatically display, double-click on the I
NSTALL icon located on the CD.
Click I
NSTALL TABLET and follow the prompts to install the driver software.
Reactivate your virus protection program.
After completing the software installation, make sure you can use your pen on the Cintiq display
screen to move the screen cursor.
When you place the pen tip on the display screen, the screen cursor should immediately jump to a
corresponding position approximately beneath the pen tip. Lift the pen tip and place it on the
display screen surface in a different location. The screen cursor should again jump to the new
position. This is known as absolute positioning, and enables you to position the screen cursor
without having to drag your pen across the display screen surface.
Be sure to check the Read Me file for updated information. If you have trouble installing Cintiq,
see “Troubleshooting” on page 42.
Notes:
Driver installation automatically activates the new pen input functions available within Microsoft
Windows 7, Vista, and Office 2007 or later (except for Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic, and
Windows Vista Home Basic). Visit the Wacom web site at www.wacom.com/vista for additional
information on using your Wacom pen in Windows.
User-specific preferences are supported. After logging in, each user can customize their
personal settings in the Wacom Tablet control panel. Switching to another user will
automatically load the settings for that user.
If the pen display does not respond properly or you lose cursor control, the pen display
preferences may be corrupted. You can delete the current preference settings and return the
pen display to its factory default condition. See the Software User’s Manual for details on
managing preferences.
To uninstall the software driver, see “Uninstalling Cintiq” on page 67.
Next, see “Calibrating Cintiq” on page 36 to precisely align the screen cursor to the pen tip.
