Why is my Wacom Bamboo Pen and touch Always giving me the Right Click Menu?

Question

I just started using the Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch but today it started to refuse to work properly.
First it started saying that the Driver isn't working. I uninstalled everything related to Bamboo and Reinstalled. i downloaded everything from the website to install. Right now every time my pen touches the tablet it gives me the right click menu. And reinstalling doesn't help. I Can't find something in the Bamboo settings.

So now it's just a mouse with only right click. Is this a common problem?
How can I solve this?
I appreciate any input!
Thanks.

Answer 1

Go to Control Panel, then search for "Pen and Touch", click it.



A window would pop out and there would be a box in it. Under "Touch Action", double click the Press and Hold ----- Right-click.



Another window would pop out, and on the top of it, there would be a check box that says "Enable Press and Hold for Right-clicking". Uncheck the box and click OK, then Apply and OK again for the Pen and Touch window.

Is your computer Windows 8 or Windows 7?



If your computer is Windows 7:

1. Flip your tablet to the back. It should have a sticker. Take note of the name of your tablet. In my case, it says BAMBOO PEN.

2. Go to http://www.wacom.com/en/CustomerCare/Drivers.aspx?model=&os=

3. Select your tablet model and operating system.

4. Download the top one. (If the top one doesn't work, usually the second one works)

If your computer is Windows 8:

1. Do exactly the same, except just change it to Windows 8.

2. However, it didn't work for me, it keeps popping up a window saying that the driver stopped working, so I'll just copy and paste the customer service they gave me via email for you :)



1. Back up custom settings you have made in the tablet driver.



Click Start > All programs > Wacom Tablet folder > Wacom File Utility > click Backup.



2. Reset the tablet driver.



Click Start > All programs > Wacom Tablet folder > Wacom File Utility > under All User Preferences, click Remove.



If the problem remains, go to the next step. If it is fixed, do not proceed with the rest of the troubleshooting steps.



3. Uninstall your current driver.



Disconnect the tablet from the PC.



Click Start > Control panel > Add or Remove Programs > highlight Bamboo > click Uninstall.



4. Search and delete all Wacom related files.



Click Start > Search > type the following keywords on the Search text field and then delete all Wacom related files.



• Wacom

• Wintab

• Tablet

• Pentab



We recommend that you restart your PC after removing all Wacom related files.



5. Download and install the latest driver for your tablet by referring to the URL link below.

a) Select your Tablet model: (Input your own tablet here, mine's different from yours)

b) Select your Operating System: Windows 8

c) Click on Download on the far right of the latest updated driver for Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista & XP



Notes for installing tablet drivers:



• Temporarily disable your Anti-virus, Anti-spyware, Phishing filter, and Firewall before running the driver installer, and while using the tablet.

• Temporarily disconnect Network connections and other USB devices connected to the PC.

• Connect the tablet to a powered USB port, preferably directly to the motherboard.

• Make sure that you are logged in as Computer Administrator.

• Try connecting the tablet to a different USB port or different PC, if necessary.

• Clean the PC's RAM to free disk space and make processing faster.

• Download and install latest updates for your Operating System.



6. Make sure that the driver is set to Pen Mode.



Click Start > All programs > Wacom folder > Wacom Preferences > click Pen tab > under Tracking, select Pen mode.

Isn't apple planning to release a tablet pc its been done before but apple wants to try the market on this one its their hyped project of the year but to be serious they deserve the hype its probably going to be remarkable that would probably be better more money for sure but beneficial. Wacom has expensive tablets more like monitors so the design loads on it and you see what you are doing. I have the cheapy cheapy wacom I wanted to try I would recommend a bigger pad because you are going to realize that you are going to have to adapt to a small area of the design and keep moving around that its annoying and less accurate. Bigger you can cruse around much easier and be in sync way better for sure its no waste spending more for more design area space if he is doing this for a living it will save him time and that adds to money you know.
