Question

WACOM Graphire2 Tablet

Asked by: DigitalDreamer

I've just recently bought a WACOM tablet with USB support but was unable to use if on my computer.  It keeps stating that the device is unable to start (code 10).  I have no idea what could be the problem, I've tried updating the driver but that didn’t help.  I'm really looking forward to using this tablet, if it ever works.  If anyone can help me solve my dilemma it would be greatly appreciated.

do you have any other USB device to test the usb connectivity.
it might be an issue with the usb configuration - irq conflicts..

do you have the exact drivers for the tablet?

 

by: DigitalDreamerPosted on 2003-08-25 at 00:34:02ID: 9214604

yes, my other usb devices work with the ports and yes i do have the exact drivers for the tablet.

 

by: kiranghagPosted on 2003-08-25 at 20:04:17ID: 9221005

try the tablet in another machine if u can.
if it works there...there is a issue with your os configuration or some strange bios settings.

btw: does it get detected automatically? and on the reboot gives error?

have u tried to unplug all the other usb devices while the tablet is in? there might be something related to power consumption

 

by: DigitalDreamerPosted on 2003-08-26 at 11:35:15ID: 9226408

the tablet is dected in other machines so i imagine it is with my computer only.  The tablet is dected automatically and is states that there is an error instatlling the new hardware it may not work properly.  Ive also tried only plugging the tablet in but still the same problem presists.

 

by: kiranghagPosted on 2003-08-26 at 20:16:28ID: 9229448

seems like a driver issue then...or maybe the os...

Maybe this problem is solved at the moment also. Because you just solved your usb problem.

by: DigitalDreamerPosted on 2003-09-04 at 07:52:08ID: 9288684

yes the problem was solved by changing to a powered usb hub.

Just saw your question at http://www.experts-exchange.com/Community_Support/Q_20726108.html
I did solve your USB problem, but I didn't gave the answer you hoped for.
Thanx for thinking about giving these points to me also. You don't need to, as Netminder already stated, for me this site is not about the points, It's just about sharing knowledge.

Greetings,

LucF
